In pit crushing and conveying IPCC systems are used in open pit mining for their potential economic environmen tal and safety advantages [1] An in pit crusher is closer to the point of excavation and requires less total truck haulage than a xed ex pit crusher A semi mobile system allows the in pit crusher to relocate up to once per year []
History This In Pit Crusher and Conveyor System was Commissioned by Rio Tinto in 2009 at the Clermont Mine in Central Queensland This IPCC has less than 10 000 operating hours At the time it was the Worlds Largest IPCC System The Clermont Mine was sold and when the new owners took possession the IPCC was decommissioned and placed under a care and
IPCC systems consist of the application of a fully mobile semi mobile or fixed in pit primary crusher which is coupled to a conveyor system IPCC systems could lead to the partial or complete substitute for trucks because of their lower operating maintenance and energy costs for conveyors In pit conveyor
MOBILE IN PIT CRUSHING SYSTEM In this system the crusher is fully mobile and is located near the face The crusher is fed directly by an excavator The crusher discharges either directly or via a belt wagon onto the shiftable face conveyor Finally the material is conveyed to the respective destination through a network of belt conveyors
Semi mobile in pit crushing and conveying IPCC systems can help reduce truck haulage in open pit mines by bringing the crusher closer to the excavation areas Optimizing a production schedule with semi mobile IPCC requires integrating extraction sequence destination policy crusher relocation conveyor layout and truck fleet investment decisions A
Integrated continuous mining techniques such as fully mobile in pit crusher and conveyor FMIPCC systems offer inherent labour energy and environmental benefits to deep pit metalliferous mines
The fully mobile in pit crusher is a new development from ThyssenKrupp which the company says will be the future for all open pit mining operations with large outputs worldwide For hard and very hard material to be excavated ThyssenKrupp can supply mobile in pit crusher plants and all down stream conveyors with a nominal capacity of up to
2 In Pit Crushing Systems In pit crushing plants are used to reduce the size of hard materials for their further transport by conveyors The crushed overburden is delivered onto the belt conveyor of the crusher s discharge boom which transfers it
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
Semi mobile in pit crusher and conveyor SMIPCC systems represent a viable safer and less fossil fuel dependent alternative however its viability is still highly argued as inadequate methods for the long term projection of system capacity leads to high uncertainty and consequently higher risk
The model considers production plan trucking conveying and crushing costs as the main inputs and optimizes the crusher s /conveyor s capacities number of crushers crusher s locations
sequence requirements This paper investigates the long term production scheduling and the crusher relocation plan of open pit mines using a semi mobile IPCC system and high angle conveyor A series of candidate high angle conveyor locations is generated around the pit limit with a crusher located along each conveyor line

In pit crushing and conveying is an integrated material handling system comprising a feed system crusher system conveyor system and discharge system
In an attempt to address this challenge installation of in pit crusher and conveyor IPCC systems the systems consisting of conveyor and crusher which are used according to the location of the crusher in the continuous haulage of the mine was proposed because of the lower energy demand per ton of hauled material further compatibility with

the pit and semimobile and fully mobile plants within the pit The gyratory crusher is the crusher of choice for capacities over 2 500 t/h metric tons per hour [2 755 stph or short tons per hour]
In Pit Crusher Conveyor IPCC systems offer advantages in the form of continuous operation reduced labour requirements and decreased energy consumption resulting in lower cost per bank cubic metre Nevertheless IPCC systems are associated with high capital costs lack of flexibility to adapt to changing mine plans and low effective system
Also the use of conveyors with for example a fully mobile in pit crusher re defines the definition of fixed plant The reason for this exclusion may lie in the difficulty of measuring quality and
Using an in pit crusher a combination of track mounted mobile crusher with mobile and fixed conveyor belts make it more competitive in compared to first method This combination is called In Pit
