HYDRAULIC EXCAVATORS IN COAL-RICH ZONES OF OPEN PIT MINES IN KUZBASS: EXPERIENCE AND PROSPECTS

In recent years, countries with developed mining industry have actually passed from mechanical shoveling to more productive and advanced hydraulic excavation equipment which improves overall efficiency of open pit mining. An alternative to morally obsolete shovels in open pit mines under operation and construction is hydraulic excavators with working mass of 500 t and more. The main advantages of hydraulic excavators, in particular, backhoe excavators, are freedom from stationary power sources, mobility, higher technological effectiveness both in stripping and extraction, and enhanced working capacity. For surface coal mines operating in complicated geological conditions in Kuzbass, the listed advantages are of concern. Excavation and loading in a zone of inclined coal seams is difficult as a bench height is limited by the height of dirt–coal interfaces digging both with power shovels and hydraulic excavators. In mining in complicated conditions (variable thickness and angle of occurrence of coal seams, multiple folds and disjunctions), it is of prime importance to select equipment effectually. This article presents some results of the quantitative and qualitative comparison of some excavation and loading machinery types and shows prospects for further research.
