Abstract

The paper presents results of technical and economic analysis of mechanical rock extraction process using hydraulic hammer breaker, eccentric ripper, Wirtgen surface miner and dozer with ripper equipment. Performance tests have been made on ‘Raciszyn’ limestone deposit for this purpose. Average capacity, unitary fuel consumption, size distribution curves for every machine has been defined. It was an input data for economic analysis for each method of mechanical rock extraction which allowed to estimate minimal unitary extraction cost.
