Instead of bucket touching strait to the hopper wall, you should install a scrapper plate to the bucket with springs between bucket and the scapper plate. This way the hopper wall will not be damaged because the springs will work as buffer .

[@waynerichardson930]

I have often wondered why they didn't clean the hopper when it gets built up. Just from my perspective it seems they get more boulders hanging up when the hopper is not "clean". But they could use a "true" long arm excavator. Just an opinion.

[@TECHNICALINFOMINING]

Ok I will try

[@tpep1693]

Don't bring it back up with an empty bucket! Make your moves count.

[@marcelw223]

If the excavator tracks were 90 degrees ,so sideways he would be closer. He would be able to see better and have a bit more reach.

[@CGCampbellJr]

Exact thought I had. Most of his problem, other than being obviously new to the equipment, was that he really couldn't see what he was doing.

[@marcelw223]

@Couchtripper That's why these machines have a counterweight at the back. He's just gaining reach to push material down. It would be very different if he was trying to lift heavy material up, then I could see your point. How do you know if they tried this? Maybe they haven't tried it and the internet has many people with ideas that might help. I sure didn't say I was more cleaver, I have more respect for people than that.

[@Law_Abiding_Citizen_ok]

I noticed how gleamingly clean the windows are on the Excavator. The operator did not appear particularly intuitive using the Machine, but he’ll improve. Everybody does. That Volvo is a lovely machine to be learning on, if he is?

[@martinmicheal4595]

Let’s dig 18 would have been the better operator

[@yorkshirefazer]

i'm no machine operator, but wouldn't a flat blade work better? used to use a "rake" type tool, but with a solid blade, for moving grain around (by hand). was much easier and more efficient than a shovel or similar. worth a try maybe?

[@evolburd5768]

got to piss with tackle you got. they are in a mine so they use toothed buckets, not much need for a grading bucket there

[@robertbarnum7541]

A grading bucket on a long reach. Probably not practical.

[@chrisstott8580]

There may be another reason for allowing the buildup - it stops the boulders and rocks from directly hitting and causing wear on the lining of the actual hopper. So a certain amount of buildup may be tolerable but not to the extent here

@@TECHNICALINFOMINING especially considering the operator could not see where the bucket was. Have you thought of turning the excavator so the tracks are parallel to the hopper. It will give a little bit more reach. Counterbalance

[@dolfroelofsen9772]

There should be large chains hanging down the hopper sides that can be moved side to side once a day to keep that hopper clean. That crane can be used to lift them up no more than 3 links to break the hard pan loose. Also either leave the water on continually to wash the hopper clean or leave it off so as not to make mud. To many people standing around doing nothing, Start getting that machinery cleaned up, or get fired.

To be fair to the operator he was doing this mostly by feel.. If you notice he cannot see much down at the crusher end. If he speeds up he may damage the tiles..

[@donniebrown2896]

Are these scheduled clean ups or on an as needed job?? How often do to have to replace wear plates on the chutes?? I'm not a KZbin expert, like others here, but the operator shows real experience in knowing how deep to dig without damaging his equipment or the chutes themselves. Thanks

They replace wear pads basically when they’re stuffed. Periodic inspections weekly will determine when they’re replaced. No set time frame. They way I’ll sleep a process plant going for as long as possible before a shutdown

[@LoveShaysloco]

Just wondering instead of using the excavator if you just take the boom and mount it on a track above the hopper with not sure if correct term. But the claw the use to pick up trees. It's flat so you won't damage the plates as you slide the paydirt off the sides. Pluss added effect if you get a bolder jam you can just grab it with the claw and slide it in to the crusher

[@superdonster77]

there is a crane track or something above this that holds the big question mark looking thing for moving stuck boulders, some sort of flat attachment for that would work better than this

[@LoveShaysloco]

@@superdonster77 yeah that's why i was thinking something that could also grab if by chance the boulder was to big then up out broke then back in

how about lining the chute with a thick metal plate mounted on springs with vibrators attached to avoid all this careful slow maneuvering you praise this operator for silk touching tiles that gets huge boulders dropped on them every day all time spent not processing ore is profit-consuming

[@HyenaEmpyema]

This is a stone crusher not a dirt crusher, the loads should be screened before it goes in the crusher, more than half of the load shouldn't be going in there just the stones, waste of time.

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Huh? It's an iron ore mine. All material is pay. Makes zero sense to screen anything because they want it as fine as possible. The more fines, the better.

[@stuby2014]

You would think since they have to do this all the time they would have an excavator with a taller cab and a true long reach arm with a rubbery blade to push that packed dust down the hopper.

[@SteveKirkland-h2f]

The company should invest in a camera, so the operator can see where his bucket is, to prevent going too deep. The operator was very smooth on the controls.

[@nubi78]

Pretty confident I could fly to where this site is (Pakistan?) drive from the airport to a hotel, find and rent an excavator, have it delivered on site, teach myself how to use it and proceed to clean out the hopper before this guy would finish.

Put a machine that vibrates it and not only will it keep it clean using "liquifaction", but it will also speed up the process of crushing stone down the "hopper" by "motivating" the smaller rocks/particles..
