What Is Underground Mechanized Mining?
Mechanization refers to any machine, process or activity that reduces the human effort required to break or move rock or material in a mine.
Underground mechanized mining refers to mining in which mobile equipment is used, e.g. self-propelled machines (machines with an engine). Mechanized mining may be trackless or semi-trackless.
In trackless mining, vehicles which run on rails to move rock are not used. In these mines, rock is moved by underground dump trucks or conveyors.
In semi-trackless mining, mobile equipment is used which may include hydraulic drill rigs, loaders & other machines. However, close to the production areas the rock is tipped down, ore passes and waste passes to a haulage level where it is trammed in locomotive-drawn cars running on tracks. This method combines mobile machines with rail-mounted cars. [Reference: ExtractivesHub]
