Efficiency of using dump trucks BELAZ-75180

Abstract

A comparative analysis of operational characteristics when using a different type of chassis of BELAZ-75180 mining dump trucks was performed. It is shown that the choice of the type and means of mining transport is determined by several factors, and, first of all, the characteristics of the cargo being transported, the distance of transportation, speed of flights, and the leverage for the given period. The power of vehicles and the performance of a mining dump truck depend on the scale of work (cargo turnover). The dependence of energy consumption during transport work on a quarry on the average size of pieces of rock is disclosed. The analysis of the dependence of the number of backup dump trucks on their number operating in a specific period is given. As a result of the analysis of operational characteristics, it was found that the chassis type of the BELAZ-75180 mining dump truck significantly affects its performance. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
