in-pit crushing and conveing system (IPCC) | PPT
7. 3. In-pit crushing system In-pit crushing and conveying is an alternative system for transport in open pit mines. Depending on individual parameters, it can achieve full or partial replacement of trucks for material transport within and out of a mine. The in-pit crusher is moved down every one or two years, to keep the truck haulage to a minimum.

Truck-and-Loader Versus Conveyor Belt System: An
In open-pit mines, truck haulage is the classic method and is the most commonly used transportation system in mining operations [3, 14, 16]. Equipment selection is determined by several factors, including the size and characteristics of the deposit, the scale of production, the geometry of the pit, the geology of the deposit and …
Optimisation of open-pit mine production scheduling …
ABSTRACT Despite the upward trend in using semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying system (SMIPCC), some mining companies still hesitate to use SMIPCC in their operations. Therefore, a framework is needed to facilitate decision-making between SMIPCC and truck and shovel system (TS) and satisfy the location and relocation time …

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC)
Conventional truck haulage, as today´s predominant means of material transport in open pit surface mines, is well established, with these systems providing excellent flexibility however, they can also contribute up to 60% of the overall mining cost. IPCC thus represents a viable, safer, more efficient and less fossil fuel dependent alternative.
