The Applications for Surface Miners

8

The following jobs are not longer required:

Cut, crush, load in one operation with one machine

Capabilities of Surface Miners

9

• Environmentally friendly:- No dust generation- No noise or air overpressure- No ground vibrations

• Improved safety:- No explosives - No fly rocks

• Better exploitation:- Mining up to the tenementboundary

Mining without blasting

- High quality ROM-products- Reduced processing cost (less washing,

less crushing)- Reduced waste material handling- Better exploitation of deposit- Better stripping ratio

Selective mining

15

Blending by cutting on a slope

16

Gradation in gypsum

Grain size distribution - limestone, gypsum, phosphate

17

Steep and stable slope cutting

18

Advantages: Small particles in constant flow do not harm truck bodies.No tire and chassis damages since trucks travel on even and solid ground.

Smooth truck loading

The Benefits at a glance:Highly selective mining of lignite and interburden

- High calorific ROM lignite- High exploitation = low stripping ratio

Production of minus 150 mm particle sizeCutting performance: 3.000 t/h

Conclusion

28

Simple Mining (cut, crush, load in one operation)= Save Money (economic Mining= one machine for the entire job)= Sized Material production (no crushing)= Smooth Material flow (loading of common trucks) Selective MiningSafe Mining (no blasting)Sealed Mining (cutting drum entirely covered, no flying rock, no dust)Surface Manipulation (+ Even floor profiles for easy loading

+ Safe traffic ability+ Surface water drainage)

Slope Manipulation (precise, steep and stable slopes )

For optimisation of mining and processing Wirtgen Surface Miners offer the following benefits
