 INTRODUCCIÓN

The capital and operating costs of an open pit mine are significantly
influenced by the cost of material haulage. Costs of the truck haulage
can be as much as a half of the total mining costs, with the major
expenditures attributed to fuel, lubrication, tires and maintenance.
There is a need to examine alternative transport systems. The best
solution seems to be conveyor transport, as it is efficient and
economical in power consumption. A comparison of operating costs for
these two systems favours the conveyor transport in most cases. The
evaluation of an all truck transport system versus a conveyor transport
system is a very complex problem. To perform this task, a detailed cost
analysis is required, over the whole period of a mine life.

 What is meaning IPCC?

IPCC is a system that combine the work of semi-
mobile crusher, belt conveyor and spreader to
remove materials from the open pit mine.

ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES
OF THE IPCC SYSTEM

• ADVANTAGES
1. Operating costs per ton / km are low.
2. Electric energy is used instead of diesel fuel, resulting in lower CO2
emissions.
3. The number of operators is reduced
4. Safety in operation is greater than truck system.

8
ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES
OF THE IPCC SYSTEM

• DISADVANTAGES
1. The location of the transport system must follow the progress of
the mine.
2. Low flexibility.
3. A period of time is needed for the relocation.
4. The system mainly depends on the crusher.

 Advantages and Disadvantages of Trucking
Hauling System
Advantages of Truck Hauling
System
• Low investment cost.
• Greater flexibility.
• There is no restriction on the
size of the material to be
transported.
Disadvantages of Trucking System
• High operating and
maintenance costs.
• Large number of trucks for large
quantities of production.
• Large number of operators.
• High maintenance cost of
transport routes.
• Not safe for the operator.
• Slow cycle of carry.

 Characteristics of the material to be transported

Characteristics of the material to be

transported
The granulometry recommended is
approximately 6”-8” in diameter.

It is desirable that the fragments of the material

fired have a suitable granulometry so that the
truck can transport to maximum capacity.

12
 Operational characteristics of the pit

Ramps
The gradients of the ramps should be in the range of 8% - 12%.
• On two-way tracks, the width of the ramps should not be less
than 3 times the width of the largest equipment in the mine.
• On one-way tracks, the width of the ramps should not be less
than 2 times the width of the largest equipment in the mine.

Safety berms
All elevated road must be provided with berms, to avoid the
fall of vehicles that circulate by these to lower levels in case of
loss or slip of the vehicle.

 Longer useful life of the tire.  Lower useful life of the tire

 Less possibility of damage to equipment.  Longer haulage time.

 Less possibility of accidents occurring.  Higher fuel consumption.

 Shorter haulage time  Excessive wear of equipment components.

 Greater security.  More repairs

 Lower security.

 CONCLUSIONS

• According to the social assessment carried out, the IPCC system was
identified as the one that offers the least impact in the community.
• According to the technical-economic evaluation, it was determined that
the maximum number of trucks in the conventional system is 37 trucks in
the IPCC system, which only requires 21 trucks at most, having a reduction
of 43% in number of trucks.
• According to the environmental assessment IPCC System generates lower
environmental impact due to the reduction of CO2 gas emission, concluding
that the IPCC system offers the best characteristics for sustainable mining.
