Fully mobile crawler-mounted crushing plant for large open pit mines

摘要

As part of a priority research and development project launched in 2006, engineers at ThyssenKrupp Fordertechnik developed the concept for a fully mobile crushing plant to enhance mining operations in large open pit mines (Figure 1). The key innovations lie with the unique functionality and mobility of the machine which allow it to work along side the mining shovel at the mine face. The crushing plant feeds a dedicated belt conveyor system and the need for large haul trucks is eliminated.
