In-pit crushing and conveying: a flexible solution for sustainable mining. Today, most mines depend on large mining trucks to haul material out of the mining pit to crushing and processing plants. "In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) is a direct alternative to this approach," explains Russell. "It involves crushing ore and waste …

"The Return-On-Investement (ROI) is remarkable. In principle all mines around the globe with a certain distance from a possible inpit crushing point to the stacking or dumping area as well as a certain conveying volume, should definitely think about an investment in such a system. It is the perfect time to achieve two major goals.

Another option to help improve comminution efficiency is in-pit crushing and conveying. The advantage here is found in the transportation of ore between mine face and crusher. "Conveyors are more energy efficient that trucks," explained Outotec's Lynch-Watson and Alan Boylston, director, process engineering development, sales. 10

Abstract. In open-pit mines, the traditional truck-based haulage system has consumed large amounts of energy in the haulage sector for many years. The use of continuous in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems is a viable option to …

Backgrounds: The transportation system within any mining project, which is responsible for delivering extracted ore to the crushing units or wastes to the wasting dumps as the destinations, poses a significant challenge in mining processes. On one hand, there are various transportation systems, notably the Truck–Shovel, the traditional …

The IPCC consists of a fully mobile sizing rig operating in the upper levels of the pit combined with, a ramp conveyor, 2.5km movable pivoting dump conveyor, and a tripper/stacker on the dump. Future development plans to add further trunk conveyors to expand the transport distance of the system. As initially installed the IPCC system ...

Synopsis. Plans for large scale open pit mining of the low grade copper ore at Majdanpek Copper Mine began after a 1949 exploration revealed an extensive ore body. Mining operations and haulage systems have progressed in phases exploiting the most current technology. Phase I (1960–1980) haulage system was by trucks only.

In a global environment where energy and labor are becoming increasingly expensive, continuous mining systems such as In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems have been advanced as offering a ...

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) is getting popular in deeper open pit mines as a suitable alternative to truck haulage because it offers a lower operating cost due to shorter haulage distance ...

In-pit crushing and conveying can bring energy efficiency to your plant. Not only is there a benefit in terms of reduced energy consumption in the mills, but the …

In Pit Crushing and Conveying: Changing the face of the mine. Staff Writer February 6, 2013, 10:10 am. In pit crushing and conveying is being touted as the future of open cut mining. Can the ...

Comparing these two scenarios, using energy and labor costs typical in an Asian country, the in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) solution would be around 20% or EUR 0.25/ton cheaper to operate, including the cost of the capital funded at an interest rate of 7% over seven years. In a country with higher costs of inputs, IPCC is even more cost ...

214. Abstract. This report is a summary of the work performed to evaluate the feasibility and desirability of a movable in pit crusher combined with conveyors to substantially reduce or eliminate truck or train haulage in large open pit, nonfuel mineral mines. The report includes a background discussion of in pit crushing concepts, the results ...

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems are receiving more attention today due to current characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is expected to occur in the future. Today, it has become more necessary than ever to reduce the cost of truck haulage, which accounts for roughly half the operating costs of mining …

The orebody, a carboniferous intrusive pipe known as the Phalaborwa Complex, is low grade averaging 0.55 percent copper. The depth of the pipe at present is unknown, extending well beyond the final depth of the open pit. The open pit measures 1.8 by 1.6 kilometres across the long and short axes respectively and is presently mined to a depth …

From right to left, two primary In Pit Crushing & Conveying (IPCC) systems incorporating TAKRAF X-TREME class sizers, a secondary In Pit Secondary Crushing & Conveying (IPSCC) system also incorporating TAKRAF sizers, a stockyard with two stackers and two reclaimers, a complex conveyor system with transfer stations linking all …

Each additional crushing or material transfer stage incorporated prior to sorting increases mixing, costs and unnecessary energy consumption, so these should be avoided if possible. Conducting bulk ore sorting at the mining face, either in-pit or underground, allows ore and waste to be directed to the appropriate destination (waste …

In open pit mining two different options for extracting and hauling material have been established. On the one hand, shovel and truck only, and on the other hand, in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC). Energy efficiency and minimising operation costs are the main decision factors when choosing mining technology.
