In-Pit Sizing & Conveying

Lower energy usage

Trucks are, by their nature, extremely energy inefficient. Often 50% of the overall weight carried by a truck is the truck itself. And when you add to this, the very real scenario of trucks running around empty and burning fossil fuels on reloading or refuelling trips, there are serious considerations regarding their carbon footprint for your mine. Sizing and Conveying solves this problem for you. With conveyors, a greater proportion of the consumed energy for payload transportation is used. Add to this one of the most energy efficient crusher types out there, and you’ll reap the rewards.

Reduce emissions, dust, noise and water

Reducing or completely replacing trucks with conveyor haulage will have profound impacts on your mine efficiency. With fewer trucks, and the ones you do keep travelling shorter distances, fuel emissions will go down considerably. A focus on electrical power will drive the sizer station and conveyor system, further adding to the environmental impact and sizable noise reductions.

IPSC systems produce very little dust and negate the need for mobile water spreaders, thus significantly diminishing water consumption.

Whether you use conveyor haulage on the edge of the pit or directly from the mine face, dust and noise remains within the mine, for a better environment outside the mine.

Lower operating costs

Mines can reduce their OPEX (operating expenditure) through better efficiency, less manpower, maintenance and downtime. The reduced reliance on fossil fuel costs and a focus on electrical power further lessens operational costs for your plant.
