At present, Kuzbass coal strip mines pay great attention to improving quality performance of mining equipment operation, including reliability and durability of components and units. One of the ways of the performance improvement is decreasing number of unforeseen failures. To achieve this purpose a mine dump truck part diagnostics should be introduced into a maintenance service procedure. At the same time the process of diagnostics should not increase the machinery downtime, but effectively reveal a condition of motor-wheel gearboxes in the course of dump truck operation. The aim of the research is to increase the reliability and service life of motor-wheel gearboxes of large BelAZ dump trucks. Failure of a motor-wheel gearbox is a rare phenomenon, but the cost of a new gearbox can vary from 3.5 to 10 million rubles. That is why it is important to implement such methods of diagnostics, which allow revealing the condition of gearboxes in the shortest possible time and without disassembling corresponding units. Determination of the actual technical condition of motor-wheel gearboxes is possible by different methods: vibroacoustic; acoustic; thermal; physical and chemical analysis of spent operating materials. The studies showed that none of these methods can be used as a universal one. When justifying and selecting the most suitable method, different factors should be considered, including technological, or a combination of methods should be applied, which will reduce risks, but at the same time increase costs. It is necessary to develop a better diagnostic method based on the use of several methods simultaneously.

One of the most important indicators of mining complexes are reliability and durability of their components. Studies have shown that the largest amount of mine dump truck down time occurs due to unforeseen failures of a motor-wheel gear. The introduction of additional technological processes to diagnose the actual technical condition of a gear in the maintenance procedure will make it possible to maintain directly the state of its component parts with in-place manner. The method of diagnosing the condition of a motor-wheel gear is based on physical and chemical analysis of oil, as well as its temperature control. During open pit machinery exploitation, various mechanical impurities of wear products of rubbing surfaces accumulate in the operating oil, so it is possible to predict the degree of wear of gear units and mechanisms based on these mechanical impurities. The introduction of this method in production will significantly reduce the down time of dump trucks, thereby increase the productivity of the enterprise and reduce repair costs.

The most important mining enterprise indicators are the reliability and durability of its equipment. These equipment parameters have the greatest impact not only on the mining complex efficiency, but also on the extracted minerals price, as the equipment downtime, as well as, the cost of repair works and spare parts purchase are included in the cost of coal. Thus, the main goal in improving mining production is to improve the reliability and durability of used equipment. Researches carried out in the coal company ‘Kuzbassrazrezugol’ showed that the largest number of mining equipment downtime, in particular of mining dump trucks, occurs due to unexpected failure of a motor-wheel gearbox. The introduction of the additional technological operation for diagnosing the actual technical condition of gearboxes in the maintenance procedure will allow monitoring the condition of the entire gearbox and, in particular, its components by an in-place repair method. This method consists of continuous or periodic measurement of the vibrations of the operating gearbox mechanisms. The analysis of the unit and its individual parts suitability is carried out on the bases of obtained measurements. This methodology usage at a mining enterprise will significantly reduce the number of equipment downtime and thereby increase its efficiency.

The company is working with a second party (contractor) in completing jobs to fulfill customer orders. Among its products, there are 4 types of products (Dump Truck, Subframe, Tilting, and Tanki Truck) whose job is submitted to 4 teams of contractors. The decision on job allocation is done by givingit  to the team that have alredy completed their jobs. This allocation method turns out to cost each team to work on the same type of product that is quite varied. Variations in the cost of work, of course, have an impact on variations in profits. It is necessary to determine the allocation of the type and amount of work that is right for each team so as to get the maximum profit. The optimum allocation result is the decision parameter for the combination of the amount of production of each product in addition to the capacity of each team and the processing time. For this reason research is needed which aims to 1) determine the optimum allocation of work, 2) determine the production target of each product to get the maximum profit. The work allocation is done by comparing the Hungarian Assignment method and the Transportation method to choose the minimum total cost. The optimum solution for the number of products produced to achieve maximum profit is done by the Linear Program. The results of the research findings show that 1) dump trucks were handled by 88% by team-1 and 12% by team-4; subframes are done by 39% by team-2, 26% by team-3, 35% by team-4; tilting is done by team-3, and truck tank is done by team-2; 2)the production target (sales target) to get maximum profit is to produce 73 units of dump trucks, 120 units of subframes, 29 units of tilting, and 33 units of tank trucks.

The primary task of all enterprises in mining industry is to increase the durability and reliability of the mining complex. These very indicators provide nonstop minerals mining, and as a result, productivity increases. Indicators maintaining at high level can be achieved by different ways, but the most effective method is repair-in-place diagnosis of the actual technical condition of the main units and assemblies of equipment, as it is less costly and the most informative. To identify gear malfunctions, the physical and chemical analysis of the used oil is used to determine metallic impurities. A comparative analysis of wear products accumulation in rotary gears of mining excavators and gearboxes of the motor-wheel of dump trucks revealed the similarity of mathematical models for the determination of metallic impurities in used oil. The “universal” mathematical model is given in the paper; it allows to determine the actual technical condition of gearboxes for various equipment with a few assumptions. Moreover, the model takes into account various indicators of the environment, used oil, as well as the operating parameters of the equipment.

Erdenet copper-molybdenum deposit is the biggest one in the world and has a significant impact on Mongolian society and economy. Today LIEBHERR-994B hydraulic shovels from Germany, electric shovels including EKG-10 and EKG-15 from Russia operate for the mining works, and dump truck BelAZ - 75130 used for transportation. The causes of shovel downtime are classified as technical, technological, and organizational. During the study period, 41% of the total downtime of the excavator’s park was technical, 45% was technological, and 11% was organizational downtime. For shovels, 7% of technological downtime is due to blasting, and for dump trucks 8.7%. In open-pit mining, blasting is performed on a weekly basis, so the duration of this technological downtime can be considered almost constant. If the time between blasts or period of blasting can be arranged optimally, it will be possible to reduce mining equipment’s downtime due to blasting.

This article shows that a significant part of the cost of coal is the cost of transporting it from the long wall to the mine surface, which makes it important to search for reserves in order to increase the efficiency of using mine vehicles, in particular, belt conveyors. This article proposes a method for diagnosing the state of gears of mine belt conveyors based on the actual condition of the lubricating oil. The advantages of combining the study of oil parameters by spectroscopic and microscopic methods are shown. The results of testing lubricating oil of the mine gearboxes located on belt conveyors installed in a single transport and process chain. In order to determine the concentration of wear products the oil was examined with an optical emission spectrometer. For lubricating oil, in which excess wear was observed, a microscopic examination was carried out to clarify the types of wear. Micrographs of wear particles in lubricating oil are given. It characterizes one or another type of wear or their combination. This particular combination of methods increases the probability of identifying possible malfunctions of gearboxes at an early stage of defect development. Thus, the introduction of this technique will reduce the duration of unplanned emergency downtime of belt conveyors and improve the safety of mine transport.

Vehicle costs for rock mass transportation are more than 50% of total costs, among which 25 — 30% are tire costs. The average tire life in mining enterprises is lower than that the value recommended by production plants. The tire life of open-pit dump trucks is more dependent on the normal load on the wheel. The main factor in the change of the normal load is location of the wheel on the dump truck and the open-pit road’s section. Determination of the maximum loaded tire in different operating conditions will allow increasing the tire life and preventing its premature failure. The TKPH index (tire performance) recommended by tire manufacturers does not take into account the diversity of mining conditions and variations of sections of open-pit roads on different routes. The average load per trip is defined as movement of a loaded open-pit truck and an empty open-pit truck on a straight reach of a road. The proposed method for recording of redistribution of the load on the wheel allows making adjustments to recording of TKPH indexes and thereby effectively managing the tire life, which in turn will make it possible to more fully use the tire life, increase its reliability and reduce the cost of rock mass transportation.

The development tasks of OJSC “BELAZ” – Management Company of Holding “BELAZ-HOLDING”, are defined, which consist in using and introducing the latest achievements in the field of technical sciences and innovative technologies created on their basis into the design and production processes of mining equipment; development of new competitive products and promising sales markets, diversification of exports. Together with scientific organizations, studies have been carried out that have allowed us to develop new and improve existing methodological approaches to solving urgent problems in all problematic areas of creating modern mining dump trucks especially and in excess of extra heavy lifting capacity. OJSC “BELAZ” is the only manufacturer and supplier of dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 450–500 tons. As a result of research on the creation of such machines, the model of a short-base maneuverable dump truck with a rigid frame of a special design was first recommended, which reduces the center of gravity and loading height of a mining dump truck, designed according to the 4 × 4 scheme (two drive axles) with double axle busbar and the use of existing tires with a maximum carrying capacity of 104 tons. The proposed and comprehensively tested new layout solutions give reason to believe that the development of dump trucks with a carrying capacity of up to 600 tons is a reality when mastering the production of tires with a carrying capacity of more than 110 tons. А new generation of dump trucks with hydromechanical transmissions is designed; work is underway to create robotic complexes for the mining industry. Particular attention is paid to computerization, digitalization and environmental friendliness of mining equipment, ensuring the reliability of technology by creating and applying new structural materials and technologies for large parts and systems.

An operational stop time is a condition where heavy equipment is not working as usual. It is important to avoid this condition since excessive idling wastes an enormous amount of fuel and money. However, the operational stop time of a dump truck Hauller HD465-7 is 2.83 minutes, which is far above the normal standard. This project aims to optimize the improvement of an operational stop time by using a Six Sigma method with optimize plan selection. This will return the operational stop time to the standard range within 1.25 to 1.65 minutes. These steps of define, measure, analyze, improve, and control are applied to the standardization process according to the rules and criteria established by the Six Sigma. The result found that the Six Sigma’s approach which was applied in PT X has reduced the cost from US$1,105,300 to US$963,000 every month. An improvement have been made to matching fleet by combining six fleet of dump trucks at driving speed of 22 km per hour and the average simulated haul distance was 2,000 meters.
