| Abstract: | Abstract The bucketwheel excavators offers a number of advantages as compared to the standard surface mining equipment. However, to realize these advantages and make a bucketwheel excavator operation efficient, the excavator design must reflect the site specific conditions, the efficient operating procedures must be developed, and sufficient digging force must be available at the digging wheel. |
