Rationalization of a Cane Haulage System

چکیده
During this season, due to high running costs of the slewing loader,an exercise wascarriedout to compare the slewing loader and the hi-capacity Bell loaders. The slewing loader in use at the time was the model with high lift boom mounted on a Ford 6600, modified with a Brockhouse torque converter. The comparison revealed that, under the conditions obtaining at Mgayi section, the Bell loader was cheaper to run (Table 2) and had a number of advantages. The slewing loader was replaced by a Bell loader in the 1983/1984 season.

No-chain Cane Delivery
A cane harvesting system which eliminates the use of chain slings has been developed on Illovo's mill-cum-planter estate. A semi-mechanised "split harvesting system" has been adopted. Conventional type trailers are used for infield haulage which off-load loose cane into windrows on the loading banks. Grabloaders then transload the cane from the windrow into "Hilo" cane lorries for transportatio...

متن کاملA Two-Phase Simulation-Based Optimization of Hauling System in Open-Pit Mine
One of the key issues in mining is the hauling system. Truck and shovels are the most widely used transportation equipment in mines. In this paper, a two-phase simulation-based optimization is presented to maximize utilization of hauling system in the largest Iranian open-pit copper mine. In the first phase, The OptQuest for Arena software package was used to solve the optimization problem to p...

متن کاملAn interactive simulation model of human drivers to study autonomous haulage trucks
Driverless haulage trucks have recently been developed for open pit mines. To predict the benefits of an Autonomous Haulage System (AHS), a deterministic/stochastic model has been created to compare AHS to a manual system by estimating benchmarked Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as productivity, safety, breakdown frequencies, maintenance and labor costs, fuel consumption, tire wear, and ...
