Bucket Wheel Excavator Boom Length Optimization for Selective Operation on Radljevo Opencast Mine in Kolubara Coal Basin

摘要

This paper presents the analysis of boom length optimization on the bucket wheel for the working conditions in the Radljevo opencast mine in Kolubara coal basin. The analysis included various types of bucket wheel excavators (compact and standard) in terms of production rate, efficiency, and cost for acquisition and exploitation.
