A systematic approach to the peat machines and equipment classification development

Abstract

The «National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2030» prioritises the use of resource-saving and waste-free technologies for natural resource extraction and processing, import substitution of mining equipment in the Russian mining sector, and the introduction of digital technologies at all stages of resource extraction and processing in the mining industry to improve their safety. The aim of the article is to study the gradual development of peat machinery classification and the relevance of its improvement through integrated mechanization devices to create waste-free extraction and processing of peat deposits using fullcycle mobile complexes with the development of environmentally friendly and resource-saving technologies for peat production. The methodological basis of the research includes post-event analysis, peat machine design theory, and systems analysis. As a research result, new system factors influencing the development of the classification of currently available machinery and equipment for peat production, as well as classification variants combining the processes of extraction and processing of peat deposit resources are provided, which allow modeling the structure of full-cycle mobile complexes for extraction and processing of peat deposit resources without waste. In terms of practical application, the classification of peat machinery enables the development of a rational decision-making data system for optimizing the structure of the technological machinery and equipment fleet of peat extraction enterprises, taking into account the deteriorating conditions of peat resources and development technologies, the economic conditions of the industry and the current trends of digitalization in the extractive industry.
