One of the significant components of production costs are the purchase and operating costs of machinery and equipment; according to Coromant, they can account for approx. 30% of manufacturing costs. In the mining industry, the share of purchase and operation costs of machinery and equipment in the mining cost is certainly even …
Mining equipment is subjected to continuous degradation throughout its operation life, and most of the replacement models study the life cycle cost (LCC) [24,30]. This research shows that the OMEE method could be an important tool for replacement decisions, analyzing the trend over time of the mechanical and technical availability …
The sum of these costs represents the total cost required to own the mining equipment (Hall 2007). Life cycle cost analysis helps decision makers justify equipment replacement on the basis of the ...

Learn how to optimize the productivity, cost and profitability of mining equipment through asset lifecycle management. The article covers the stages, strategies and tools for planning, purchasing, deploying, operating and disposing of mining assets.
• On-site transport of stone using heavy equipment. • Transport of scrap stone to on-site storage • Onsite generation of energy and compressed air • Capture and treatment of wastewater • Upstream production of energy and fuels Equipment and ancillary materials (e.g. drill bits, maintenance items) are listed in Tables 5 and 6 but have
A life cycle cost analysis will help you make sound buying decisions, and avoid making mistakes twice. 3 life cycle cost considerations. When calculating equipment life cycle costs, three areas need to be analysed: Past scheduled work; Reactive maintenance costs; Forward projections
The Mining Equipment Division supplies the international mining industry with large machines for the extraction of raw materials in surface mining environments. Mining excavators and mining trucks from are extremely robust and are designed for use under the most extreme conditions.
In Chap. 8, we presented a model for mining equipment selection accounting for utilisation of equipment. In this chapter, we extend these results by presenting a method for determining the actual cost when equipment moves into the next age bracket during a period. ... (2018). Accurate Costing of Mining Equipment. In: Burt, C., Caccetta, L. …
Increase the accuracy and reliability of your mining cost estimates while reducing the amount of time you invest in them with SHERPA. From financial evaluation of your project all the way through to reclamation, SHERPA has the data you need, combined with the models and algorithms required to calculate the costs at every stage of the life cycle of …
A suitable framework for sustainable development will be created through the interaction of these principles with activities carried out in different stages of mining life cycle and their implementation in the mining projects can be economically profitable, environmentally clean, and socially responsible.
