Our production line needed some crushers. We always bought some of European equipment in the past. We investigated SBM this time and found their technology was not worse than the European technology and the price was much lower than that of European equipment.
I knew SBM through a friend. SBM salesman was very enthusiastic and patient when making production scheme for me. After investigating SBM's factories and sample production lines personally, I found that SBM is very professional.
On site, only the road surface requires leveling and compacting to establish working conditions, eliminating the necessity for cement foundation leveling and hardening. This significantly reduces the project's construction material costs.
The iron ore is evenly fed by TSW1139 feeder into HJ98 high-efficiency jaw crusher for coarse crushing. After that, the materials would be sent into CS160 cone crusher for secondary crushing.

Both mines use sublevel caving as the mining method see Figure 1 Common sublevel heights at LKAB vary between 25 30 m This paper focuses on tests using 40 and 50 m At the crusher station the material is crushed below 200 mm screened and sorted using magnetic separation into concentrate and waste The ratio between the tonnage of
— The Chuquicamata Underground Mine Project PMCHS consists of the transformation of the Chuquicamata historical open pit to a large scale underground block caving mine that considers the profitable extraction of 1 760 Mt of ore consisting of % of copper and 512 ppm of molybdenum at a mining rate of
New approach for rapid preparation of block caving mines V Encina et al 280 Caving 2010 Perth Australia Mine preparation comprises drift development and different concrete works underground Both types of works have made significant progress in civil works applications examples of which include tunnel boring

— Abstract LKAB s Kiruna mine is an underground sublevel caving mine located above the Arctic circle in northern Sweden The iron ore mine currently uses a long term production scheduling model to strategically plan its ore extraction sequence In this chapter we describe how we modify this model to consider several different
— Block caving technique is a mass mining method in which gravity is used in combinationwith internal rock stresses to fracture and break the rock mass into pieces that can be handled by miners This method is normally applied to large low grade ore bodies because of its low production cost and high capacity
— The undercutting process is a technique employed to initiate the caving of the ore mass in block caving achieved by creating a basal cut on the block scheduled to be submerged The effective execution of the undercutting process involves numerous variables such as the undercut height and the vertical section s undercut geometry
— Abstract In a metal mine adopting a sublevel caving SLC method life of mine and temporary mine infrastructures are preferred to be positioned on the footwall side of the ore body Therefore the footwall stability especially well developed with
As PTFI caving operations increased in size over the years specifically with the Deep Mill Level Zone DMLZ mine and the GBC mine the need for a more accurate approach to planning and scheduling the undercut became apparent In conjunction with GEOVIA s Caving Business Unit PTFI initiated work in 2015 to develop a new planning
Guidelines for orepass design in a sublevel cave mine KA Bunker et al 586 Underground Design Methods 2015 Perth Australia Figure 1 Oblique view of the open pit and underground mine at EHM looking west The orepass system at EHM is required to transfer ore from various SLC production levels to the crusher precinct
Mining Method Block caving; Production Start 1976 Mine Life 2038 Snapshot which deliver ore to a gyratory crusher feeding a series of 3 overland conveyors to the mill stockpiles The roasters are huge tall as a six story building and 21 feet in diameter They run twenty four hours a day at a temperature of approximately 1200
Mining Crushers are used in underground and surface mining operations if necessary In operations where crushing is applied uncrushed material is usually transported to the primary crusher by transporting machine rear dump trucks wheeled loaders trains or

— mechanized block caving mining methods Integration of the mining plan in a loop and primary crusher excavation and associated infrastructure are located on 63 level 630 m below surface build up rate will be dependent on the rate of undercutting and the associated draw point maturity rules A full
— The block caving mining method has become increasingly popular in the last two decades Meanwhile Indonesia has several potential ore bodies which have not yet determined suitable mining methods
— As low grade orebodies occur at depth mining companies will increasingly use the block caving mining system in order to be profitable Suorineni predicts In addition the method has been used successfully as an alternative for developing new mines or extending the operation of open pits; for this reason it has been referred to as an
— Caving of a competent rock mass Development of the crinkle undercut Taking secondary breaking to new levels Highest lift heights yet attempted in a block cave One of the fastest production build ups among block cave operations Ramp scavenging in the pit concurrent with cave development Equally important were the lessons
— Sublevel caving operation relies on the estimation of ore grade at drawpoints as the mine management uses grade to decide whether the material at a certain ring should be loaded or abandoned
The role of block caving Although the caving mining system was initially used for shallow orebodies it has recently been applied at depths of 2km underground According to Suorineni caving heights have also increased drastically from about 200m to 500m creating so called super caves There is insufficient experience caving in these

— Some mines also use circular sled racks Both the jumbo and rack are equipped with a heavy duty rock drill Ore removal is mostly performed by using loader conveyor and carry scraper If haulage distance is long both loading machinery and dump truck or self propelled mine car are used The mining method is shown in the diagram
— When planning to develop a new mine or to extend the life of an open pit operation mine planners have an alternative mining method to consider block caving an alternative with significant advantages that we analyze in this article
