Cycle time
The sum of time required to load bucket, swing
loaded, dump and swing empty.
Typical cycle element times under average
conditions, for 2 to 4 cum shovels will be
Load bucket 7-9 sec. (depend on material type)
Swing with load 4-6 sec (depend on machine size)
Dump load 2-4 sec (depend on dumping target)
Return swing 4-5 sec (depend on machine size)
Optimum height = 0.5 x 10.4 = 4.55m (Taken highest %, for poorly blasted rock) (3050%)
Working height) 6 .7
% of optimum height = 100 = 100 = 147 %
Optimum height 4 . 55

Where;
P (lcm/hr) = Production in loose cubic meter (volume) per hour
P (bcm/hr) = Production in bank cubic meter (volume) per hour
P (ton/hr) = Production in tons (weight) per hour
Q = Heaped bucket capacity (lcm)
F = Bucket fill factor
t = Cycle time in seconds
E = Efficiency minutes per hour (take 30-45 if not given)
S.F. = Swell Factor
