Hydrocone Crushers

Big Machines Carry Big Price Tags

Just one 20-cubic-yard capacity electric shovel used in an open pit mine carries a price tag of $1,000,000. One 150-ton capacity ore truck costs about $400,000. A set of tires on these trucks costs around $36,000 and lasts about three months. A small 6,000-ton refrigeration unit used in ventilating a small underground mine costs more than two and one-half million dollars! A two axle 170-ton truck and a three axle 225-ton truck dump simultaneously into the 54-inch gyrator crusher at the Cyprus Pima Mine. After crushing, the ore goes by conveyor to storage piles, background.
