Mobile Systems
In modern quarrying, mining, tunnelling and recycling operations the use of mobile process systems is increasing dramatically. Particularly at rock front operations the technique of moving the process equipment closer to the front end using mobile crushing and screening units in many cases gives remarkable cost savings. These mobile units represent one or more complete machine functions including materials handling, power supply etc. Advanced process control secures the intelligence of the system.
Key arguments for mobile equipment vs stationary equipment and damp truck haulage are:
Process System
Less hauling less costs Less front road maintenance Less exhaust gas and dust emissions Improved working safety Improved flexibility
