Rock Handling Systems
SET have vast experience modelling rock handling systems to gain insight into potential bottlenecks, optimize bin/silo capacities, determine rock handling system capacity and weigh up alternatives. The models include, but is not limited to:
- Conveyor and Feeder Systems,
- Crushers (Primary, Secondary and Teritiary Crushing Systems),
- Hoisting Systems,
- Ore loading and handling.
Rail & Truck Haulage systems SET provides simulation models of rail / truck haulage systems to determine overall system capacity, quantify potential queuing at rail / truck dumps and optimize ore pass capacity.
We have created numerous models of truck ramp systems to determine passing bay requirements, truck interference and ramp capacity. Mining Methods and Cycles SET have significant experience of created simulation models of various mining methods, including: - Block Cave Mines
- Room-and-Pillar Mines
- Breast Mining (Narrow Reef)
- Sublevel Stoping
- Continious Mining
- Cut-and-Fill
- Longwall Mining
Mine Development SET uses, sells and support the State-of-the-art SimMine® Development Package. SimMine can optimize resource planning and scheduling of underground development.
SimMine is an easy-to-use and powerful software to plan, simulate and evaluate the development process in underground mining.
For more information, visit www.Simmine.com Men and Material Vertical and Horisontal Transportation SET has performed various studies of personnel and material logistics, surface queuing, single / double cage hoisting and staging of material / explosive cars on surface / level stations.
Excavator / Loader / Shovel Loading Open Pit simulation studies performed to determine the optimal mining equipment fleet size and maximize production capability by minimizing truck queuing for loader(s) or at crusher(s).
Simulation has been proven to be a great tool for evaluating various truck dispatching rules. Truck Queuing Models Test the effect of additional equipment on queuing times or propability of interference. Crushing and Conveying Test the effect of downstream ore handling systems on your haulage fleet to optimize ore handling equipment maintenance philosophies.
Stockpiling and Blending SET have been involved in studies to test different stockpile blending strategies based on ore grade quality and to determine surface stockpile size. Processing Plants and Smelters SET have made capacity recommendations on numerous surface comminution plants. The models gave insight into the stockpile requirements, equipment sizing and overall production capability of various alternatives.
Experience in Smelter Simulation Models including ladle and ingot handling and dynamic power consumption analysis.
