Better ideas
for the
minerals & mining
industry
With our engineering expertise, we enable our customers in
the minerals & mining industry to manufacture and process their
products in a cost- and resource-efficient way.
The companies in our Group’s minerals & mining network offer
a wide range of top-quality products and services, working
together closely to exchange ideas and ensure our customers
benefit from maximum synergies. Our solutions set standards
along the entire value chain.
For example, our fully mobile crusher system raises the bar
for the efficient utilization of energy. Material is crushed directly
at the mine face and transported away on belt conveyors, which
eliminates the need for heavy truck transportation, thereby
reducing operating costs and CO 2 emissions.
Our close cooperation with customers around the globe delivers
valuable new ideas on a daily basis. Our engineering expertise
helps us translate those ideas into new and better solutions,
enabling us to master challenges and play our part in shaping

STRAIGHT UP
Our skip conveyor is breaking new ground
in deep surface mines with steep banks.
It can transport ore or overburden from the
bottom of the mine to the crusher station
at the top, which means fewer trucks and
significantly lower costs and CO 2 emissions.
Optimizing plant design
In the construction of plants for processing raw
materials, we combine and focus our know-how to
create new concepts for high availability and ecofriendly
design, reducing energy requirements and
emissions.
In some cases, we test new plants and machinery
on a smaller scale to save costs and time. In the
area of pyroprocessing, for example, ores are examined
under real conditions in a scaled-down rotary
kiln using different preheater systems. This process
delivers important parameters which are later used
to optimize the design of the industrial-scale plant.
Our ideas for the use of secondary raw materials to
generate power set global standards. Using household
waste or wood chippings conserves resources,
reduces costs and maximizes plant efficiency.
With our extensive materials database for ores, we
give our customers a key knowledge edge that
allows ores to be classified quickly and reliably and
plants designed for optimum efficiency.

Greater efficiency

A BREAK
WITH THE PAST
Our fully mobile crusher is revolution izing
the surface mining industry. It reduces
the raw materials directly at the mine face
so that they can then be transported away
on belt conveyors – the use of heavy trucks
is no longer required. This significantly
reduces operating costs and cuts CO 2
emissions by up to 350,000 tons per year.

When it comes to the mining, crushing, transporting and spreading of ores,
minerals, coal and overburden, ThyssenKrupp has unique expertise. With our
innovative equipment and detailed planning services, we can design the
entire continuous surface mining process to maximize efficiency. For this we
constantly explore new paths.
Continuous surface mining
In rock quarries, crushers reduce the rock or overburden
directly at the face and the material is then
transported away on belt conveyors. ThyssenKrupp
has advanced the development of these in-pit
crushing systems and is one of the world’s leading
suppliers.
Our mobile and semi-mobile crushers achieve
throughputs of up to 14,000 tons per hour. Fully
mobile crushers are an outstanding example of
innovative engineering; their use lowers transportation
costs in mining operations by up to 50%
and dispenses completely with the need for heavy
trucks. Our crushers are powered exclusively by
electricity, which means that mine operating costs
and CO 2 emissions can be significantly reduced.

Combined bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimers allow
stacking and reclaiming of large amounts of bulk
material in stockyards. The machines are fully
automatable, with corresponding monitoring
equipment, unmanned operation and manage -
ment of raw material levels in the stockyard are
possible, saving money and time.
With their slewing and luffing capabilities, the
machines can stack or reclaim individual sections
of the pile. The material is fed to further handling
facilities in a very even flow, making it possible to
optimize the fill cross-section of downstream belt
systems.
Ship loaders with fully enclosed conveyors
Eco ship loaders from ThyssenKrupp transfer bulk
materials from terminal to ship’s hold through
completely enclosed conveyor systems. The booms
are designed in the form of a large tube, inside
which are the conveyors and service walkways.
The enclosed design prevents contamination of
port loading zones.
Continuous ship unloaders
Rail-mounted continuous ship unloaders are an
outstanding example of our innovative thinking:
They unload bulk freighters by means of a continuously
operating bucket elevator system for faster
removal rates. All conveying equipment on the
ship unloader is enclosed to avoid material spillage
and protect people and the environment.

BRIGHT SPOT
FOR EFFICIENCY
Our 3-D laser scanner makes the
impossible possible. For the first time
ever, large and inaccessible parts of
machines can be scanned, making it
possible, for example, to optimize the
design of wear parts. Apart from the
enormous savings of time and effort
allowed by laser scanning, the longterm
efficiency of a plant is also
significantly increased.
The wear rate of the plant component
is continuously displayed during operation.
