Método de classificação das condições operacionais das escavadeiras de uma mina de ferro no Sudeste do Pará

Abstract

Loading operations are an important step in the mining process, and factors such as operating conditions directly affect equipment performance. The constant search for increased productivity and reduction of operational costs requires good planning and management at all stages of the process. The present paper aims to present a method of classification of the operational conditions of the excavators of an iron mine in order to demonstrate the real situation of the work-in fronts of the plazas. The study was developed from analyzes of the current scenarios that the mine pre-sents, contrasts to ideal scenarios, established from the literature and the planning of the mine, in which the efficiency of the equipment is the highest possible. With this, it can establish the individual classification of each square that the loading equipment is allocated. The

actions proposed by this study are applicable to any loading fleets, given the appropri- ate proportions of structure and capacity. From what was exposed in the work, a diag- nosis of the operational conditions practiced in the wash could be obtained and, with

this, to outline strategies directed to establish treatments with greater efficiency, as- sembling an easy evaluation System for con-stant monitoring and keeping the work

fronts ideal for high performance loading equipment.
