Quarry Hydro Bags

Nowadays, most mining and quarrying industries utilize a diamond wire saw machine for bench cutting operations. This method uses a metal wire or cable assembled by diamond beads to cut the hard stone into large blocks. Many parameters classied into controllable and uncontrollable parameters aect the performance of the diamond wire saw cutting meth-od. The uncontrollable parameters are related to rock engineering properties, and controllable parameters are related to operational aspects and machine performance. The diamond wire sawing process’s production rate is one of the most critical parameters inuencing the design optimization and quarrying cost estimation. The cutting rate and wear rate of diamond beads are the most important factors to evaluate quarries’ production performance. This study aims to deter-mine the eects of dierent controllable and uncontrollable parameters on dierent quarries’ production rates. Rock engineering properties like strength, hardness, and abrasivity, and operational aspects, such as cutting angle and drive wheel diameters, are considered as the main factors aecting the production performance of the diamond wire saw method. To discover the inuence of these parameters, a detailed investigation in ten quarry operations was carried out. The relation between cutting rate and diamond bead wear with dierent parameters is estimated. It was observed that dierent controllable and uncontrollable parameters could increase or decrease the cutting rate and diamond bead wear-ing. Furthermore, using simple and multiple regression analysis, performa

The 'Hydrobag' is an ideal product for use in tight quarrying situations when access to granite and marble rock benches is difficult to reach with excavators etc...

The bags measuring 1 meter x 1 meter are inserted into the bench crevice and then pumped full with water by means of a specially desgined 'hydrobag' pump causing the bag to expand to around 300 mm which gently shifts the block creating enough space to proceed with other mechanical systems to further removal of the block from the bench.

The 'Hydrobag' is capable of withstanding 300 ton capacity,
