Transportation costs are a significant part of capital and operating costs of large open pit mines. Cost efficiency and high reliability of in pit crushing and conveying systems compared to conventional truck-shovel system makes it more appealing to be utilized in modern mining activities. In this paper the suitable location of an in pit crusher is investigated as a …
Material handling is a crucial aspect of open pit mining operations, involving truck haulage and conveyor transport system. One innovative approach to enhance the efficiency of the material handling operations is the implementation of the In-Pit Crushing and Conveying system (IPCC), which places the crusher inside the pit and the conveyor belts in a safer area.

Innovation has an important role in improving the productivity, safety and sustainability of mining operations. Historically, ore transport was done by diesel trucks, but with the commitment to reduce CO2 emissions and increase mine safety, mining companies have invested in innovative, more sustainable ore transport technologies. The innovative truckless …
In this study, while the capital costs of the open-pit mining operation, including the in-pit crusher and conveyor, are acknowledged and used as reference figures, they are not the primary focus. ... The research establishes a workflow for any semi mobile in-pit crusher including open-pit scheduling studies which none of the commercial software ...
In-pit crushing system In-pit crushing and conveying is an alternative system for transport in open pit mines. Depending on individual parameters, it can achieve full or partial replacement of trucks for material …

Open-Pit Mine Production Scheduling and Crusher Location-Relocation Plan under Semi-Mobile IPCC Systems. Author / Creator Liu, Dingbang; In most open-pit mines, material haulage costs can comprise over 50% of the total mining costs. This portion can even increase as the future mining conditions will become more challenging.
Abstract In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems have attracted more interest among miners as an alternative to the conventional truck-shovel transportation system. The semi-mobile IPCC (SMIPCC) system is a well-suited type of IPCC system in open-pit mining projects because of its relocation nature. However, it is very important to design its optimum location …
Conveyor system The conveyor system transports the crushed material to the dumping site or the processing plant. Conveyors can be designed stationary, relocatable or shiftable for bench and dumping operations. In particular open pit applications including high-incline and curved conveyor systems can be offered by thyssenkrupp in
This paper investigates the long-term production scheduling and the crusher relocation plan of open-pit mines using a semi-mobile IPCC …

A new heuristic approach to find a good quality solution hierarchically for applying the IPCC system and it is shown that the system is efficient for developed countries with a stable and low interest rate. Abstract Cost efficiency and high reliability of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) system make it more appealing to be used in deeper open-pit mining activities.
Once the mineral matter was fragmented, using either of the above-mentioned crusher systems, to tolerable sizes by the conveyor (smaller than 300 mm in dimension), the materials are transported to an ex-pit area on dedicated ramp conveyors (where the conveyor slope is lower than 18°), conveyor tunnel (where the conveyor slop is lower than 10 ...
