General information
- Short Summary
- An Austrian company has developed a mining logistic system for open pit operations with a height difference of more than 300 m & over 3 million tons of production per year. It’s a cable car that transports material from the lowest production level to the processing plant. The main advantages are the reduction of CO2 emissions, economic efficiency due to the reduction of diesel consumption, reduction of wear and tear, road tires and savings in cycle times and personnel. ESG aims can be fulfilled.
- Full Description
-
The Austrian company has created a mining logistic system which is suitable for open pit operations with a height difference of more than 300 m and over 3 million tons of production per year. It is used to support trucks in open pits or quarries to transport material up or down. With this unique method, the truck drives onto a transport platform and is transported by cable car from the lowest level to the top floor. If the cycle time for a transport of 400 meters in height is usually around one hour, a saving of over 30 minutes can be expected with the transport method of this company.
A prerequisite is that the individual transports do not weigh more than 110 tons. This is the maximum load that can be carried by the carrying ropes. In the case of heavy goods vehicles weighing more than 110 tons, the load can also be filled into a pocket of the cable car and thus transported to the processing plant without a vehicle. By operating 2 reversible cable cars in opposite directions, the dead load is compensated via the electric rail.
This results in very high conveying efficiency and the ESG targets can be met. No overhead line is required. By saving cycle time, either production can be increased or costs reduced. The biggest saving is in diesel consumption, other savings are in equipment wear, tires, road maintenance, etc. Payback of the investment is around 3 years and is therefore highly economical. This invention was registered in 2022 and is now to be implemented for the first time.
Only those who dare to try new things can become better. Those who always do everything the same can only become as good as their predecessors. - Advantages and Innovations
