Shovel Productivity Analysis
Excavation costs form a significant component of total mining cost. For base metalliferous mines, these loading costs can represent up to 30% of the mining costs. Small improvements in the productivity of this equipment can produce significant benefits to surface miners.
Orica's Shovel Productivity Analysis provides:
- Operator-independent accurate and repeatable results
- Quantifiable improvements in shovel performance, leading to increased productivity and optimised unit costs of excavation.
- Efficient data collection and analysis
- Tighter process control leading to lower overall mining costs.
