In open pit mining two different options for extracting and hauling material have been established. On the one hand, shovel and truck only, and on the other hand, in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC). Energy efficiency and minimising operation costs are the main decision factors when choosing mining technology.
Near face stockpile (NFS) is a new mining concept which combines the IPCC (in-pit crushing and conveying) method with an in-pit near-face (and near crusher) stockpile.
In-pit crushing plants are used to reduce the size of hard materials for their further transport by conveyors. The crushed overburden is delivered onto the belt conveyor of the crusher's discharge boom which transfers it further to the mobile conveyor bridge.
With the trend of open pits becoming broader and more profound in scale continuing, the potential of In-Pit Crusher and Conveyor (IPCC) systems to save costs deserves new tools to make the study of its practical comparison against more traditional truck/shovel systems more accessible and feasible. In recent years, the interest in and research ...
operations. In particular open pit applications including high-incline and curved conveyor systems can be offered by thyssenkrupp in conjunction with the in-pit crushing plant. Conveyors are designed by an in-house developed software, which ensures the most realistic dynamic conveyor simulation. Furthermore for smooth
4. 2. Definition of in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) system A continuous processing system that includes the shovel, crusher, spreader and all appropriate conveyors that reduces rock of mine (ROM) to a conveyable size. In fact, IPCC is the use of fully mobile, semi-mobile or fixed in-pit crushers coupled with conveyors and spreaders (for waste) or stackers …
The present paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review of all aspects of technical, economic and sustainable development of in-pit crushing systems along with a statistical analysis of the systems since 1956 to …

In-pit crush and convey (IPCC) has become a viable solution to the mining industry due to the reduction of haulage related energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Outotec expert Leif Berndt spoke with International Mining about our IPCC solutions and how we are applying our building blocks to mining applications.
The SMIPCC is a system where the in-pit crusher is located in the pit and is relocated after 1–2 years, depending on the operations of the specific mine (Tavakoli et al. 2011; Hay et al. 2019). The SMIPCC is characterised by a crusher station located not more than 2 km from the mine face operations depending on the size of the open-pit mine.
Material handling is a crucial aspect of open pit mining operations, involving truck haulage and conveyor transport system. One innovative approach to enhance the efficiency of the material handling operations is the implementation of the In-Pit Crushing and Conveying system (IPCC), which places the crusher inside the pit and the conveyor belts in a safer area.
In-Pit Crushers; the Key to Hard-Rock Conveying. The essential task of the in-pit crusher in a belt conveyor transport system is to reduce blasted material to a conveyable size.
A heuristic approach for in-pit crusher and conveyor system's time and location problem in large open-pit mining. ... Cost efficiency and high reliability of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) system make it more appealing to be used in deeper open-pit mining activities. Determination of the optimum time and location (OT–OL) for applying ...

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems are receiving more attention today due to current characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is expected to occur in the future. Today, it has become more necessary than ever to reduce the cost of truck haulage, which accounts for roughly half the operating costs of mining operation.

In-pit crusher location selection has had an important role recently, since increasing diesel prices. One way of reducing the haulage costs is to shorten the truck haulage distance by bringing the ...
Implementing an In-Pit Crushing and Conveying system (IPCC) serves as a tool to lower mining costs and reduce emissions, making IPCC an interesting alternative to conventional material transport systems.

Transportation costs are a significant part of capital and operating costs of large open pit mines. Cost efficiency and high reliability of in pit crushing and conveying systems compared to conventional truck-shovel system makes it more appealing to be utilized in modern mining activities. In this paper the suitable location of an in pit crusher is investigated as a …

Near face stockpile (NFS) is a new mining concept which combines the IPCC (in-pit crushing and conveying) method with an in-pit near-face (and near crusher) stockpile.
Because the crusher is installed inside the mining pit, the trucks transport the minerals to the crusher at a shorter distance. Also, in this scenario, the trucks do not transport the crushed minerals to the processing plant, but the materials are transported by the conveyor directly from the in-pit crusher to the processing plant.
