Since nearly half of the open pit surface mines in the U.S. produce sand and gravel (aggregate), lots of questions tend to come up about the equipment used in that type of mining. As you can imagine, it takes a range of both mobile and stationary equipment to run a sand and gravel operation. So in this article, we’ll categorize the most common surface mining equipment based on what functions

Blasting equipment is used for both underground and open pit mining operations and is known to be one of the most hazardous aspects of the job. For mining operations to be successful good blast designs are absolutely vital as poor practices and excessive explosives can result in damage to rock structures causing unwanted caving.

Sand-intensive hydraulic fracturing is putting new pressures on frac sand mining. Frac sand demand has grown from 7 million tons in 2010, about 27% of total U.S. sand and gravel production, to 63% of the total 100 million tons produced in 2017, according to USGS figures. In 2018, demand for frac sand alone is estimated to have surpassed 100 million tons. The U.S. is the world’s largest

Magnetic separation is most commonly used in the mining industry to separate “tramp ore,” or unwanted waste metals, from the rest of the bulk material. Tramp ore typically consists of the man-made byproducts created by the mining process itself, such as wires from explosive charges, nuts and bolts, nails, broken pieces from hand tools such as jack hammers and drills or tips off of heavy

Sand mining is used to extract both sand for construction uses, and to mine minerals such as titanium-based ores used in paints and plastics. The metal-enriched sands can be extracted by strip mining machines, or by flooded pit mining using dredges similar to equipment used for dredging harbors and channels for ships. Chemical treatment is used to extract the desired products, and the

These types of controls are rarely used at construction sand and gravel plants, but are more common at industrial sand and gravel processing facilities.

In mining, dredging and oil sands production the biggest challenge is to accommodate high density slurry and highly abrasive grits. It is essential that the slurry passes through the pump with the minimum amount of wear to the pump casing, impeller, shaft, and sealing mechanism. Furthermore, they must be capable of delivering high flows and withstanding harsh operating environments.

Stationary equipment at a surface mine typically performs hauling, processing, and other service functions. Structures provide offices, storage, and maintenance spaces. The following stationary equipment and structures are common to most surface mining operations: Conveyor systems. Feeders, bins, and hoppers. Crushers and screens.

There are various applications of screening equipment in the mineral processing and mining industry. When minerals are mined, the boulders are scalped by a shaker which, uses a .25” thick shielding screening. After that, the large rocks are brought to a crusher. Further downstream is where the crushed rocks travel through multiple screening equipment. Each one gradually gets smaller in order

Put simply, sand mining is the extraction of sand usually from an open pit. It can also be mined from sand dunes, beaches and even dredged from river and ocean beds. The main reason is to provide sand for concrete, which – due to the urbanisation boom all over the world – is in high demand. Sand can also be used as a mixer with salt to prevent ice on roads, or to reshape coastlines that

Sand is the most mined substance in the world, with a significant amount of illegal mining activity from “sand mafias”. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons. Sand is the single most mined commodity, eclipsing minerals and metals by a colossal margin. Around 85% of the material we pull up from the earth is sand, gravel or other aggregate materials.
