This overburden crushing, conveying, and stacking system is capable of handling 12,000 tonnes per hour of material.
The mobile conveyor’s control system combines human interface and automatic controls for various functions. The operator can override the automatic controls if needed as well as control the upstream equipment. Manual controls such as the tripper speed and cross conveyor position can be used to build the smoothest possible leach pad. Automatic controls generally monitor frame alignment, leveling, and other conveyors upstream for the operator. The controls system is unique to the equipment and allows the MSC to handle material while it moves. It is important to point out that ore handling does not stop when the tripper or the entire machine moves.
