Dragline is a one of the surfacemining equipment which is used to excavate materials and is so designed so that it can excavate below the level of the machine also.
ادامه مطلبAlthough an old dragline can be an essential part of mining operations, the equipment is not without fault or maintenance needs. Bottom line is, draglines don't last forever. They are among mining-class machines with booms that reach hundreds of feet into the sky. The cost of dragline machines is somewhere between $50M and $100M. …
ادامه مطلبDragline buckets can be operated as a dredge from shore or mounted on a barge. The bucket does not load vertically. Instead, it is lowered to the bottom and then loaded by dragging toward the crane. A dipper dredge is a floating face shovel that digs forward into the face of the excavation and is mounted on a spud barge.
ادامه مطلبOn the other side of the bucket is a dragline from the bucket to the cab. The machinery is operated with the hoist rope to raise and lower the bucket, while the dragline is used to drag the bucket towards the driver or the cab. For large-scale excavation and mining operations, dragline excavators are the heavy weights of choice.
