In open-pit mining, plants and machines from ThyssenKrupp Resource Technologies set standards: with continuously operating large bucket wheel excavators, spreaders and large belt conveyors, output rates of up to 240,000 m³ of overburden per day can be achieved. For smaller output rates as well, all machines are matched to each other and adapted to the operating requirements of the open-pit mines.
Particularly for consolidated-rock open-pit mining, ThyssenKrupp Resource Technologies played a decisive role in the development of cost-effective crusher-conveyor-spreader systems, and is one of the world's leading manufacturers. A further example of innovative engineering from ThyssenKrupp Resource Technologies is the development and design of high-performance, fully mobile crushing plants that do without the use of heavy trucks in open-pit mining completely.
