Mine Planning and Equipment Selection (MPES 2015) The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) hosted the 23rd International Symposium on Mine Planning and Equipment Selection (MPES 2015) at the on Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 9 to 11 November 2015.This was the first time …
One of the challenging problems for surface mining operation optimization is choosing the optimal truck and loader fleet. We refer to this problem as the equipment selection problem (ESP). In this paper, we describe the ESP in the context of surface mining and discuss related problems and applications.
traction phases. Although the mining equipment, such as continuous miners and shuttlecars, are the same as for bord-and-pillar mining, this method is viable at greater depths. Yet, it is not as capital-intensive as longwall mining. Selection of Equipment The determination of the most economic mining sys-tem is regulated by a host of factors ...
Underground mining method selection is one of the most important decisions that mining engineers have to make. Choosing a suitable underground mining method to extract a mineral deposit is very important in terms of economics, safety and productivity of mining operations. In real life, underground mining method selection …
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.
2.1. Factors for Consideration in Equipment Selection Four groups of factors largely determine the selection of excavating equipment (the discussion applies specifically to surface equipment but the factor are applicable to underground as well) [9]. 1. …
MMS requires the study, assessment, and evaluation of selection factors, a duty which is frequently completed by engineers according to their mining knowledge, expertise, and intuition. Because of the complexity of the assignment, it can be accomplished significantly more effectively by someone who has a thorough …
The mining and construction industries have used match factor for many decades as an indicator of productivity performance. The term match factor is usually defined as the ratio of truck arrival rate to loader service time. This ratio relies on the assumption that the truck and loader fleets are homogeneous.
This conference proceedings presents the research papers in the field of mine planning and mining equipment including themes such as mine automation, rock mechanics, drilling, blasting, tunnelling and excavation engineering. The papers presents the recent advancement and the application of a range of technologies in the field of mining industry.
The equipment match factors, ... of multiple periods and pre-existing equipment, are novel for the mining industry and ensure that the model is both a new and advanced equipment selection tool. ...
Selection of the most optimal method of mining in the stage of designing the mine is considered to be an important and sensitive issue as far as designing the system of exploitation of a mine is concerned. This selection is based on geological, geotechnical, geographical, economic, social and political studies, etc. recognizing all of …
The main factors influencing the selection include the occurrence condition of ore bodies, technical condition of mining, the value of the ore, working environment and safety factors, the permission or prohibition of surface subsidence, economic factors, special requirements of the processing sector, and labor and policy factors.
Moreover, the presented strategies provide an effective way to improve equipment performance where the current mine strategy does not adapt well. A key contribution of this research is the development, implementation, and verification of new optimization and simulation methods to address the ES problem in open-pit mines.

Chibuluma Mine was selected due to its modernization and use of trackless equipment. The mine is a modern mine which is designed to use trackless equipment therefore, measuring the factors influencing the equipment effectiveness and thorough analysis of well-defined performance indicators will allow the mine to assess the …
Equipment selection is one of the most important aspects of open pit design. Mining costs are mainly affected by the number and capacity of equipment. Equipment selection for open-pit mines is definitely a major decision which will impact greatly the economic viability of an operation (Aghajani et al. 2007). Equipment selection effects economic …
