Gaining 66,150 tons per year by optimizing load time
JOY GLOBAL
One of the biggest inefficiencies in the continuous mining process is waiting for a batch haulage unit to arrive and get into position. Any reduction in this wait time is time spent cutting and loading material. Understanding these delays is key to a successful mining operation, and is seldom obvious. A customer in the Midwestern United States recognized this inefficiency in its own operation, but could not achieve long-term results because whenever they focused and improved on one aspect of the process, the inefficiency seemed to take another form. The end result was no overall improvement.
