A Volume Calculation Method Based on Ore Heap

Abstract

As an important part of the ore transportation route, the ore bins can be used to buffer ore when there is more incoming material in the upper stream, and can be used as a buffer when the material is lacking, so as to prevent the downstream machine from idling. We can calculate the location of a certain grade of ore in real time through the volume of the mine heap to prepare for the later addition of ore. A simple estimation of the volume by human observation leads to a larger volume error. In order to avoid the deviation of the volume calculation caused by rough estimation, a volume calculation method based on ore heap is proposed to obtain the exact formula for the volume calculation of the ore heap and provide accurate guidance for the later addition of ore.
