Analysis of method ripping overburden with bulldozer ripper D 375 A-5 as support

tools PC 2000 based on digging time in PT. Pamapersada Nusantara Pit TAL West Job
Site Muara Tiga Besar Utara

PT. Pamapersada Nusantara is one of the companies engaged in the field of

coal mining services business. In conducting coal mining activities at the MTBU Pit
TAL West job site, with a production target of 881,000 BCM / month in June required a
good material retrieval method that is by appropriate ripping method. A good ripping
method will affect the productivity of bulldozer ripper, the productivity of bulldozer
ripper will affect the productivity of PC 2000, and will greatly affect the benefits to be
generated by the company.
After calculating productivity of bulldozer ripper tool based on ripping time, volume of
ripping area with actual correction factor in the field. Productivity resulting from each
method that is straigh ripping and cross ripping method has not met the standard of
target want achieved by company that is equal to 800 BCM / Jam. Correction factors
consist of physcal availbility, use of availbility, efektivity utilization, and job efficiency.
The average job efficiency obtained is relatively small, because activities other than
ripping done during the process of ripping, should be outside ripping activities done
when the productivity targets of bulldozer ripper has been met. Comparison of ripping
productivity from straight and cross ripping method is 1: 2 for plan and actual, meaning
that at the same time done ripping with two method productivity resulted method of
straight ripping 2 times bigger than cross ripping method.
Based on the productivity of the tools obtained from the calculation of the
average PC 2000 cycle time of each ripping method. Method of straight ripping with
cycle time 28,92 second yield productivity is 802,77 BCM / hour, while cross ripping
method with cyle time 28,04 second productivity yielded equal to 827,97 BCM / hour.
The productivity of the straight ripping and cross-ripping methods is not much different,
so the straight ripping method is more advisable than the cross-ripping method.
Based on productivity of actual ripper bulldozer tool in the field with estimated
equipment rental cost of Rp. 2,041,659.75/ hour and overburden revenue of $ 2.55 /
BCM or equal to Rp. 33.150 / BCM, it will get benefit comparison of Rp.
18.028.6766,25 / hour for straight ripping method while for the method of cross ripping
benefit is Rp. 6.366.174,74 / hour. The difference obtained from the calculation is Rp.
11.662.501,51 / hour with a ratio of 3: 1. Therefore the method of straight ripping is
more recommended than the cross ripping method.
