If the extracted material feeds into conveyors after passing through the crusher, the haulage system is termed a fully-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (FMIPCC) system. Similarly, if the conveyor belt is fed by trucks, the haulage system is a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (SMIPCC) system (Frizzell and Martin, 1992).

Semi-Mobile In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (SMIPCC) systems are similar to fixed systems in that the crushing unit remains in one location for a period of time, with a conventional truck haulage method feeding it. However, the time that the crushing unit remains in place is significantly shorter. Crushers are designed to be modular, such that ...
