Smart Material Handling solutions are available for a wide range of applications to help increase haulage equipment utilization and efficiency, while maintaining material handling flexibility. Primary crushers or feeder-breakers are utilized to process material in the pit. HAC systems elevate properly sized material from the pit to overland conveyors for processing.

For waste, crushing takes place only to make the material transportable on the conveyor; for ore, in-pit crushing is a part of the total comminution process. Crushing waste rock in the pit has several benefits. "If the waste rock has to be crushed, crushing it in the pit and conveying it out is the most economical solution.

When the material is then crushed in the crusher, further dust is generated. Once this crushed material is put onto a conveyor belt, even more, finer dust particles become airborne. Without effective control measures in place, the dust generated during the various processes at open-pit mines can quickly become widespread and unmanageable.

Truck haulage is the most common form of materials transport in open pit mines. Trucks can be used to haul ore and waste out of the mine or they can be used to haul to an in-pit crusher where ore and/or waste can be crushed and then conveyed out of the mine. The trend has been towards larger and larger open pit trucks to match larger shovels ...

Spreader. Reliable electrification and automation solutions. Spreaders are discharge machines for bulk materials with extremely long discharge booms, two or three belt conveyors, crawler tracks, slewing and hoisting gear. The material is fed to the receiving belt of the spreader via a tripper car, which can be moved on rails or crawlers.

and efficient materials handling systems can be developed only through a detailed consid-eration of these subsystems in a systems analysis framework. The transport of material from production faces to dumping sites is accomplished by rail, truck, belt conveyor or hydraulic transport. Shovel-truck systems are most common in open pit mining. Two
