Film on Transport Crawler and shifting of face conveyor- by SKBag, Merchentusindia
Transport crawler for semi-mobile in-pit crushing system: Transport crawler is required to shift in-pit crusher at pit bottom in an opencast mine from time to time to maintain travel distance of dumper from coal face to in-pit crusher within 700 m to 1000 m. This is necessary to reduce the overall transport cost in a mine. Transport crawler is used to shift heavy weight in-pit crusher unit from one bench to another bench and also for relocating in opencast mine. Without such type of equipment, it becomes very difficult to shift the total crusher unit. This saves money and time. However, investment is high, hence, using such transport crawler infrequently may be uneconomic. However, incase of multiple no of crushers in a big opencast mine with long strike length, this equipment may be very useful, specially, incase if advance of coal face is fast. In India the transport crawler had been used at Ramagundum OC-II mine under SCCL, AP. This video includes the clipping of transport
