nes for overburden, brown coal or hard coal, marl and other
mineral resources, which can be extracted by means of spe-
cially designed buckets. Our machines are able to efficiently
extract raw materials from deposits of different sizes.
› In most cases, conveying equipment is integrated into the
excavating system to enable the transportation of the mate-
rial obtained.

BELT WAGONS
› FAM designed belt wagons are standalone machines built on
crawlers which serve to transport and discharge the overbur-
den or minerals. In opencast mining these machines are very
important links for continuous excavating, transporting and
discharging activities especially when mining and dumping
areas are spread apart over significant distances.
› The belt wagons help save on overall investments and opera-
ting costs which otherwise would be substantially higher due
to the need to acquire larger main equipment.

IN-PIT CRUSHING SYSTEMS

› FAM in-pit crushing plants are used to reduce the size of hard
materials for their further transport by conveyors. The
crushed overburden is delivered onto the belt conveyor of the
crusher’s discharge boom which transfers it further to the
mobile conveyor bridge.
