    This document provides information on selecting the appropriate size for a mining excavation machine. It lists key factors to consider, including the bucket capacity, machine geometry, job operating efficiency which typically ranges from 75-90%, and mechanical availability which is usually 75-95%. It emphasizes that economics and operating costs, which can account for 1/3 to 1/2 of total project costs, are important considerations in size selection.

    Notes The size selection depends upon the following factors


    1. Bucket Capacity Selection
    2. Determination of Machine Geometry
    3. Reassessment of the first two models
    4. Job Operating Efficiency : 0.75 - 0.90

    WALKING DRAGLINES

    STRIPPING SHOVELS
    EXCAVATION
    WALKING DRAGLINES

    over the past 30 years to provide a longer life at a lower operating cost. A dragline with a 170-m3
    (220-yd3) bucket, a 122-m (400-ft) boom, and a mass of 12,700 t (14,000 tons) had been in use in
    the United States. However, because of environmental con-siderations, most of the largest
    draglines, particularly in the United States, have been removed from service.

    STRIPPING SHOVELS

    A stripping shovel with a bucket size similar to a dragline will be more productive because of its
    crowd and breakout abil-ity, shorter cycle times, and its ability to handle dense rocks. the largest
    stripping shovel used to date had a 138-m3 (180-yd3) bucket with a 65-m (215-ft) boom and
    installed power of 22,500 kW (30,000 hp). As with draglines, the larg-est stripping shovels have
    been taken out of service in favor of truck/shovel operations largely because of environmental
    considerations.
    BUCKET CHAIN EXCAVATOR

    A bucket chain excavator (BCE) is a piece of heavy equipment used in surface mining and dredging.
    BCEs use buckets on a revolving chain to remove large quantities of material. They are similar to
    bucket-wheel excavators and trenchers. Bucket chain excavators remove material from below
    their plane of movement, which is useful if the pit floor is unstable or underwater.BCEs vary in
    range and size, although the majority of them are extremely large, with some capable of
    excavating 14,500 m3/h. The average BCE from Tenova Takraf for example, weighs around 1,150
    tons and has a combined length of 58.5 meters, with a 23.5 meter long bucket ladder. The speed
    of the bucket chain is 1.22 m/s with a digging force of 1,170 kN/m2[3]. BCEs such as the RK 5000
    from the Czech Republic weigh up to 5,000 tons.

    BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR

    A bucket-wheel excavator (BWE) is a large heavy equipment machine used in surface


    mining. The primary function of BWEs is to act as a continuous digging machine in large-
    scale open-pit mining operations, removing thousands of tons of overburden a day. What
    sets BWEs apart from other large-scale mining equipment, such as bucket chain
    excavators, is their use of a large wheel consisting of a continuous pattern of buckets used
    to scoop material as the wheel turns. They rank among the largest vehicles (land or sea)
    ever produced, and the largest of the bucket-wheel excavators (the 14,200 ton Bagger
    293) still holds the Guinness World Record for the heaviest land-based vehicle ever
    constructed. Bucket-wheel excavators have been used in mining for the past century, with
    some of the first being manufactured in the 1920s.[1] They are used in conjunction with
    many other pieces of mining machinery (conveyor belts, spreaders, crushing stations,
    heap-leach systems, etc.) to move and mine massive amounts of overburden (waste).
    While the overall concepts that go into a BWE have not changed much, their size has
    grown drastically since the end of World War II.
