Machines for Surface Mining and Mineral Processing

Summary

Graduate of the subject obtains a wider summary of technical facilities, constructional solving of basic nodal points of objective mechanization and mechanical units, the technology of the machinery and the equipment for surface minerals exploitation. Students will also learn basic strength and performance calculations. They are also acquainted with new and original technologies used in surface mining, including auxiliary mechanization and modern trends in the field.

Literature

Study literature mainly for English speaking students will be recommended individually depending on the theme of the semestral project. Standards, machine parts catalogues, technical and mechanical tables and corporate literature - depending on the character tasks.
