In open cast mining, stripping, or the removal of overburden, is usually done with draglines. Drilling and blasting the overburden often makes it easier for the dragline to remove it. The dragline may also be used to remove the ore from time to time.
There are two broad categories of draglines: those that must be constructed on-site, heavy units, and those that are based on standard lifting cranes. With a front-mounted winch drum, most crawler cranes can double as draglines.
Like other cranes, these units are made to be disassembled and transported on flatbed trailers over the road. The majority of civil engineering draglines are of this smaller crane type. These are rigs for driving piles and are also used for building roads, ports, ponds, and canals.
Manufacturers of cranes like Hyster and Link-Belt produce these models. In strip-mining operations to remove overburden above coal and, more recently, for oil sands mining, the much larger type that is built on site is frequently utilized.
One of the largest mobile land machines ever constructed is the largest heavy dragline. The smallest and most common heavy type weighs approximately 8,000 tons, while the largest built type weighs approximately 13,000 tons.
A dragline bucket system consists of a large bucket suspended by wire ropes from a boom, a massive structure resembling a truss.
The Global mining Dragline excavator market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The mining dragline HS 8300 was made to withstand the harsh mining environments. The machine has high turnover rates and delivers power and performance at a low cost per ton.
Power regeneration in dragline operation is made possible by the interlock control system, which reduces fuel consumption and free-fall winch wear.
A number of ropes and chains are used to move the bucket. The bucket and hoist-coupler assembly is supported from the boom by the hoist rope, which is powered by powerful diesel or electric motors. To draw the bucket assembly horizontally, the dragrope is used.
The bucket is controlled for a variety of tasks through skillful dragrope and hoist maneuvering. The following is a diagram of a large dragline bucket system.
