India produces about 90% of Coal from opencast mining. Opencast mines deploy large number of state of the art Heavy Earth Moving Machines like Draglines, Bucket Wheel Excavators and Shovels and ...
In an Indian study for a large dragline operated surface coal mine, a 40% gain in OE in terms of mining rate (m3/hr) resulted in a gain in EE with an annual reduction of GHG, TSP, and PM10 ...
This 1,200ton machine walked, backward, at up to a blazing maximum speed of miles per hour. While most dragline excavators are dismantled after being retired, this one was saved by the ...
surface coal mining from shovel mining to dragline mining. Coal India Limited (CIL), now has standardized the draglines in two sizes, namely 10/70 and 24/96 for their mines. Most mines depend on the dragline 24 hours/day, 7 ... which the machine is named a Dragline. Thus greater skill is required to control the bucket.
PERFORMANCE. The mining dragline HS 8300 has been designed to meet the tough conditions in mining environments. The machine delivers power and performance with low cost per ton and high turnover rates. The interlock control system allows for power regeneration in dragline operation, reducing fuel consumption as well as wear and tear of the free ...
One of the most massive machines in the world, the BucyrusErie 2570W dragline will cross the countryside and two Indiana state highways during its monthlong journey to Bear Run.
In the paper, the draglines with buckets of 20 yd 3 ( m 3) and 40 yd 3 ( m 3) were labeled as Dragline1 and Dragline2, respectively. It was detected from failure statistics that operations of Dragline1 and Dragline2 were halted for 938 and 903 times due to failures, yielding total breakdown duration of 13,954 and 16,471 h, respectively.
The huge machine capped a dragline and shovel race that began in the 1950s as various surface producers ordered ever larger equipment capable of achieving successively greater efficiencies of scale." ... The cartoonish massive stripping machine depicted dwarfing a coal train on the April 1960 cover of the magazine heralded the continuation of ...
The "Big Muskie" was once the world's largest earth moving machine. Built in 1969 and dismantled in 1991, the Big Muskie could move 39 million pounds of earth and rock every hour, reaching coal seams 100150 feet down. Weighing nearly 12,000 tons, this dragline was 22 stories tall with a boom length of 310 feet.
machines average a 46m 3 bucket size, there has been a tren d in favour of larger machines. These draglines feature much la rger bucket sizes (up to 115m 3) and dimensions allowing the draglines to operate at greater depths and widths without needing prestripping and reducing rehandle (Aspinall et al., 1993; Gianazza, 2010).
The story: This 6400 carries a 16cubicyard bucket on a 160foot boom, and is seen at work uncovering anthracite in Pennsylvania. Having achieved great success with its sevenyard 4600 excavator, and listening to demands from its American coalstripping customers, introduced the 6400 dragline in 1977.
Formed in 1992, HCRHP's focus is to provide a comfortable rest home for The Silver Spade, a BucyrusErie 1950B that was commissioned in 1965. Weighing 14 million pounds and standing 220 ft. tall while swinging a 105 cu. yd. bucket, it's the largest electric stripping shovel still doing the job it was designed to perform.
Monighan Machine Company revolutionized dragline by placing two ... 49 CY machine 1994 Catenary Coal Company installed a BE 2570 100 CY machine at the Samples Mine (upgraded 1998 to 118 CY) 1998 Evergreen Mining comissioned a BE 1570 75 CY machine in Webster County .
Folks who live nearby know about the machine — a dragline excavator used for surface mining of coal. Since 1995, it has been unused. That's when demand for coal fell and mining companies cut ...
Design specifications and service. The Big Muskie was a model 4250W dragline and was the only one ever built by the BucyrusErie. With a 220cubicyard (170 m 3) bucket, it was the largest singlebucket digging machine ever created and one of the world's largest mobile earthmoving machines alongside the Ohiobased Marion 6360 stripping shovel called The Captain and the German bucket wheel ...
There were three of the giant machines at issue: The Tiger, The Mountaineer, and The GEM of three were then in the service of the Hanna Coal Company, which by 1970, had been strip mining in Ohio for decades and was then a division of the much larger Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company, later known as "Consol," itself then owned by Continental Oil.
The biggest dragline to ever work in Pennsylvania, the one and only Marion 8700! Built in 1965, this ole swings an 85 yard drag bucket on the end of a 300' boom and weighs just over 4,600 Tons! I spotted two more draglines in this pit. And four draglines in this pit. Lucibello Heavy Equipment Photography posted five photos as part of a ...
By Donna Schmidt, Field Editor. A recently restored Page 757 dragline sits on the assembly area at NA Coal's Cabot Marshall mine in Texas. After making the move from Wyoming and being fully restored with many upgrades, the new dragline, Carmen, began production in January. It is not every day that a dragline changes hands and moves from one ...
The Bucyrus 1570W dragline relocation and refurbishment commenced during November 2007 and it too required approximately four months to dismantle and ship the various components of the machine. The disassembled Bucyrus 1570W was staged at the Kosse field assembly site while awaiting the completion of the Bucyrus 8200 reassembly.
The latest restored dragline walked off the erection pad in November 2015 at the Coyote Creek mine in Mercer County, North Dakota. A project that began three years ago was completed with the commissioning of a completely refurbished machine. The new ACpowered dragline will be the centerpiece of a lignite mining operation for the next 25 years.
Draglines typically can offer a low cost waste removal mining method but are less flexible and have a higher capital cost. Truck/shovel fleets on the other hand are far more flexible with lower capital but generally higher unit costs. "The deployment of draglines and truck/shovel fleets can be varied so that competitiveness (lower costs) can ...
A generation ago, now maybe two, the rolling hills of western Kentucky reverberated with the rumbles of many great mining machines. Similar to mechanical dinosaurs, these towering machines, some among the largest ever constructed, were emblematic of the scale and import of the area's healthy coal industry. From the mid1960s through the late ...
