What is in the way of mine automation? Mining Magazine
Mining Magazine spoke to Marcos Hillal, global product line manager, Automation and Digital at equipment supplier ABB to talk about what miners are faced with when automating, such as the effects of the pandemic and the importance of data According to Hillal, operators see automation as a means of boosting production and The PT300 D:Mine is a remote controlled tracked carrier for clearing mine fields that is effective against antipersonnel and antitank mines This vehicle works in the toughest conditions, including rough terrain, steep slopes up to 45°, swampy land, and in areas with dense vegetation Some of its main technical features include a superPT300 D:MINE DEMINING MACHINE FAE
Equipment Catalogue GICHD
The equipment categories in this catalogue cover the tools currently being used in humanitarian mine action: Detection Equipment, Personal Protective Equipment, Mechanical Equipment, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Robotics, OtherThe trucks and load haul dumpers are enormous, and so are the drill rigs, which is what I’m slowly getting to now! These drill rigs, called Pit Vipers, are 30meterhigh machines that drill 17meterdeep holes in the rock, 50cm in diameter, which are then filled with explosives and subsequently almost 1,400 cubic meters of rock is blasted to pieces Autonomous mining trucks and equipment connected Pit
