• Plan and supervise quarry operations including:
Annual Operating Costs. You can determine the average annual operating costs by computing the average of the individual annual operating costs. In this example, they are estimated to be $8,000, $8,200, $8,400, and $8,600. The average for these figures is $8,300 which you obtain as follows: Annual operating costs = $8,000 + $8,200 + $8,400 + $8,600
The typical surface mine (quarry) has lots of specialized equipment, and each piece has a name that new miners may not be familiar with. To help you get up to speed fast, we''ve provided a list of common surface mining equipment, along with images and explanations of the equipment''s function and operation.
When you add the energy usage, finance costs and productivity rates, the customer has most of their production costs estimated. We can provide scheduled servicing solutions in the form of service contracts to the customer, serial number-specific, well out to several thousands of hours of operation.
Submission of all these costs gives total per hour operating cost (C 2). Hence, Per hour ownership and operating cost = C 1 +C 2 2.3 Methodology for per hour productivity All the methods and procedures are adopted from the book named “Construction Planning, Equipment and Methods”- by [6] R.L Peurifoy, The Mc Graw Hill Companies Inc, Edition 7.
Quarry is a business-to-business magazine and a valuable reference tool positioned as a must-read for quarry operators, recyclers and members of the extractive industries.. The magazine is highly-targeted and is read by key decision-makers who purchase and specify quarrying plant and equipment. It is also widely read by suppliers to the quarrying industry.
Selecting the Right Crusher for Quarry Operations. First published in the September 2014 issue of Quarry Management as From Flintstone to Finesse. Sean Donaghy, national sales manager of IROCK Crushers discusses what needs to be considered when choosing a crusher. Crushing rock is an age-old idea, but the reality of the task is a far cry from
function of plan location and depth. Mining costs are a function of site conditions, operating scale and equipment. The purpose of equipment selection is to select equipment that can operate optimally. Equipment selection is one of the most important aspects of open pit design. Mining costis mainly affected by the number and capacity of equipment.

The individual at the pit or quarry responsible for making equipment purchasing decisions is best advised to do as much research as possible into the requirements of the operation, existing fleet and the equipment that is currently available on the market. Loading machine size, bucket capacity, performance and operating costs are critical criteria.
The selection, operation and maintenance of pumps and related equipment can therefore have a significant impact on costs and schedule compliance. Water management involves removal of excess water as well as process water feed for machinery operation, dust suppression, etc.
The Kipton Quarry is a 56 acre sandstone quarry located in north central Ohio. The open pit covers over 10 acres and provides access to a variety of unique sandstone formations. The grey and buff stone mined from the quarry meet some of the most stringent quality requirements sought after by landscapers, architects, and masons.

Total cost of ownership: This entails first cost and all other major fixed and variable costs associated with the lifetime of the equipment evaluated at net-present value (NPV) against alternatives for selection. This aspect allows engineers to look at incremental factors, such as the benefit of variable frequency drives (VFDs) on the condenser
For example, he points out the Cat MD6540C Rotary Blasthole Drill delivers a $35-an-hour advantage in average annual parts consumption, compared with one of its major competitors. “Over the course of a 6,000-hour year, that adds up to a savings of around $175,000. The MD6540C also delivers a 30% undercarriage life cycle cost advantage, better

When designing a new plant, we balance raw material characteristics with the required pro-duction rate and the size and shape of the fi n-ished product. After careful selection of each piece of equipment from fi nal screening to pri-
studies, short-term operations should aim for lower capital cost, while long-life installations should be designed to minimize operating costs and emphasize maintainability. “Operating availability is a function of the design of the processing lines and the ease and type of their maintenance” (Shoemaker and Gould, Modern Mill Design, 1980).
Crushing Equipment Selection. In open pit quarry operations the loading of the blasted rock for transportation to the primary crusher house involves either power-shovels. Any size of primary crusher may be used for hand-loaded rock; it all depends upon how much secondary shooting, and hand sledging, the operator feels he can afford. So called
