Surface mining with electric rope shovels necessitates a significant financial investment in terms of the acquisition, maintenance, operation, and repair. To properly select this type of equipment, you should seek to maximize your benefits by utilizing a system that can meet the daily performance requirements at the lowest possible vehicle per material mobilized cost.
The electric rope shovels offer the lowest cost-per-ton loading solution for long-life mines by combining massive payload capability, low maintenance requirements, and high reliability. With an operating life of 120,000 hours, they are a viable option for mines with estimated lives of 20 years or more.
Advantages
– Engines operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from -58°F to 131°F.
– The digging force remains fairly constant.
– An electric shovel has a lifetime of approximately 120,000 hours, equating to 13.69 years of operation; thus, they are ideal for mines with a life of 20 years.
– Because of their long lifespan, most heavy-machine manufacturers provide technological updates.
–When compared to other excavation vehicles, the requirements to operate the machine via joysticks are minimal, reducing operator and vehicle fatigue.
–These machines’ buckets are designed to work in abrasive environments, and their maintenance costs are low when compared to heavy equipment with hydraulic shovels.
–The reach of an electric shovel’s bucket is greater than that of a hydraulic shovel because it provides optimal turns and keeps the operator at a safe distance from the excavation site.
–Ownership and maintenance costs are lower over 21 years when compared to a hydraulic shovel.
