Substantiating the rational parameters for a complicated non-transport system when mining low-thickness fireclay deposits

Abstract

The paper examines a complicated non-transport system for mining a gently sloping fireclay deposit using ESH-10/70 dragline excavators. The research purpose is to substantiate the technological scheme of stripping operations and determine their parameters to reduce the strip-mining costs. Theoretical research is performed using the following methods: methods of scientific analysis of theoretical research, as well as practices of project and production organizations; mining-geometric calculations; variant method for comparing and selecting a mining system. As a result, the dependence of the excavator block mining velocity on the entry way width has been determined, which makes it possible to study the relationship between mining and stripping equipment in time. The change in the re-excavation coefficient depending on the width of the dragline excavator entry way has been studied and its rational value has been determined. The practical value of the research results is in the substantiation of an effective system for mining a gently sloping fireclay deposit.
