Basic opencast mining machines belong to the group of devices used to perform specific technological operations through mining, loading, transport up to the dumping of mining heaps. Machines work in EBD systems (Excavator-Belt-Dumping) and require high reliability. Multi-bucket excavators that require the use of rope systems in order to maintain stability and the possibility of mining at different levels. The paper focuses on issues related to rope work in multi-buckets excavators. On the basis of studies to assess the technical condition of the ropes identifies the causes of damage to ropes these machines. As a result of the research, final conclusions were formulated.
Recent months have highlighted the progressing energy crisis across Europe in connection with the severe sanctions imposed on the import of hydrocarbons and coal from Russia. This is particularly visible in Poland, where over 40% of electricity is generated from coal, while in individual households it is the primary source of heat. This situation puts the already enigmatic plans of shutting down coal mining in Poland into question. Therefore, work aimed at increasing the extraction capacity of existing shafts while maintaining the highest level of operational safety is still valid. This article concerns the issues of the fatigue life of compacted ropes used as hoist ropes in mine shafts. The discussion regarding the use of these ropes among shaft hoist users has been going on for several years. This paper presents the unique results of compacted rope fatigue tests carried out at the Central Mining Institute in Katowice. In the authors’ view, these results and their interpretation should serve to clarify several important aspects that arouse the interest of users.
