Maintenance. The maintenance program is vital to the success of any open pit mining operation. Repair and maintenance can be expected to account for 40 to 50 percent of direct mining costs. The need for careful initial planning often goes unrecognized, and this leads to underestimation of personnel and facility requirements.
The history of research shows that there are different methods of making decisions for equipment selection. Fig. 1 shows the repetition of methods in this history of research. As seen in Fig. 1, the AHP method has the most repetitions, and the FUZZY TOPSIS, and TOPSIS methods, respectively, have the following ranks in the methods used in the …
Models for Mining Equipment Selection. In many industries, materials handling represents a significant component of the operational cost, making equipment selection an important challenge to management. To meet this challenge, extensive research has taken place in the mining and construction industries which are heavily dependant on equipment.
The book is intended for a broad audience, ranging from mathematicians with an interest in industrial applications to mining engineers who wish to utilize the most accurate, efficient, versatile and robust computational models in order to refine their equipment selection and allocation strategy.
By using relevant data, studies, and methods, mine planners at Atlantech assist miners to identify the most cost-effective opportunities to maximise productivity and equipment life at open pit mining operations. We are skilled at equipment selection, drawing on modern approaches. Please get in touch with us today if we can be of …
The traditional methods of mine equipment selection in China are mainly the analogy and experience method, which are selected by comparing the statistical data of shovel matching of existing production mines . With the background of the diversified development of mine equipment, the traditional method has lost its superiority.

9. Material Retention. If you're mining materials that are looser in density or have more a fine-grain texture, you'll need equipment that isn't just built for heavier weights and more "solid" objects. This will ensure you retain maximum amounts of your extracted materials, as well as prevent contamination. 10.
