Mines & Quarries
Mines & quarries
Keep cycles moving in heavy materials.
Open-pit mines and quarries require machines able to work in abrasive, uneven and heavily loaded environments. SEM machines support essential operations: rock loading, feeding installations, moving materials and keeping traffic areas workable.
4key operations
2priority machine families
1cycle productivity objective
Priority uses
A clear answer to demanding cycles.
Feeding
Feed crushers, hoppers, screens or processing areas with a continuous and controlled flow.
Short hauling
Move materials between face, stockpile, reclaim area or processing installation.
Stockpiles and roads
Organize stockpiles, clean work areas and keep internal access roads usable.
Jobsite productivity
What matters in mining and quarry applications.
Machine selection is not only about rated power. It depends on material, real cycle, ground resistance, abrasion and the ability to keep the machine available through long, repetitive working days.
- Traction force and stability for heavy materials.
- Hydraulic cycle time adapted to repeated operations.
- Controlled fuel use to reason in cost per ton moved.
- Accessible maintenance to reduce interruptions on site.
Selection checkpoints
A tough environment must guide the configuration.
- Abrasiveness, density and particle size of extracted material.
- Distance between face, hopper, crusher and stockpile area.
- Road condition, slope, dust and visibility constraints.
- Tire wear, ground engaging tools and required protection.
Applicable Model of SEM Products
Selection method
Size the machine around material and cycle.
Qualify the rock
Identify density, fragmentation, abrasiveness and moisture to guide machine size and bucket selection.
Measure the cycle
Analyze distance, slope, number of passes and loading time to avoid an undersized configuration.
Protect the equipment
Adapt tires, ground engaging tools, protection and service routines according to abrasion and site intensity.
Plan availability
Anticipate parts, maintenance and follow-up to limit the impact of downtime on production.
