Conveyor

Bucket wheel excavators:
Giant bucket wheel excavators, the largest mining equipment on earth. The technical giants from Krupp are custom designed and built for the specific operating conditions and the production rates for each open pit mine. Currently attained production rates are up to 240,000 m? (bank) per day, digging heights of as much as 100 m and service weights of 13,500 tonnes.
The standard and compact bucket wheel excavator series were designed to suit the requirements of open pit mining and earthmoving operations with small and medium production rates. Standardization of components and extensive preassembly of the equipment have significantly reduced the cost of these machines. The effective capacity ranges from 4,000 to 65,000 m?/day.

Spreaders:
The spreader is the last link in the chain of equipment for continuous removal of overburden. Krupp has built spreaders for all capacities throughout the world. The service weight of the equipment ranges from 70 to 5,400 tonnes. For special applications the cross pit spreader system (XPS?) was designed.

Conveyors:
Belt conveyor systems planned and designed, manufactured and installed by Krupp, prove their high reliability even under extreme operating conditions. Overland belt conveyors connect the open pit mine and the power station, high capacity conveyor systems for open pit mines are available in stationary, shiftable and relocatable designs.

In-pit Crushing:
Krupp engineers made an important contribution to one of the most significant improvements in hardrock open pit mining, the conversion from discontinuous, cost-intensive material transportation by mining trucks to continuous, more economical transportation by belt conveyor systems. Utilizing several decades of crushing technology, Krupp is today one of the most experienced and successful manufacturers of the new in-pit crushing systems with mobile and semi mobile crushing plants, mobile transfer conveyors, belt conveyor systems and spreader with tripper cars.
