Better ideas for the
minerals & mining industry
ThyssenKrupp is a diversified industrial group with unrivaled
expertise in the areas of “Material,” “Mechanical,” and “Plant”.

With our engineering expertise, we enable our customers in

the minerals & mining industry to manufacture and process their
products in a cost- and resource-efficient way.

The companies in our Group’s minerals & mining network offer

a wide range of top-quality products and services, working
together closely to exchange ideas and ensure our customers
benefit from maximum synergies. Our solutions set standards
along the entire value chain.

For example, our fully mobile crusher system raises the bar
for the efficient utilization of energy. Material is crushed directly
at the mine face and transported away on belt conveyors, which
eliminates the need for heavy truck transportation, thereby
reducing operating costs and CO2 emissions.

Our close cooperation with customers around the globe delivers

valuable new ideas on a daily basis. Our engineering expertise
helps us translate those ideas into new and better solutions,
enabling us to master challenges and play our part in shaping
the future of our world. That’s something we’re very proud of.

Knowledge is a basis
for innovation
Improving slewing bearings and rings
Our aim is to constantly improve the quality of our
slewing bearings and seamless rolled rings. In our
own state-of-the-art research and development cen-
ter, we test bearing designs under the toughest of
conditions, research new products, and develop
forward-looking solutions for practical applications.
Knowledge and experience are combined with new
ideas to deliver exactly the products our customers
need.
Enhancing the efficiency of machines
and equipment
Our development work in the materials handling
field is focused on improving the efficiency and
reducing the environmental impact of machinery
and equipment. A new inclined conveyor system
for deep surface mines sets new standards in this
respect. It features two rope-driven skips that
transport materials continuously from the bottom
of the mine up the steep banks to the crusher
station. This system eliminates the need for truck
transportation and thus reduces CO2 emissions.
Capital and operating and labor costs are also lower.
STRAIGHT UP
Our skip conveyor is breaking new ground
in deep surface mines with steep banks.
It can transport ore or overburden from the
bottom of the mine to the crusher station
at the top, which means fewer trucks and
significantly lower costs and CO2 emissions.
Optimizing plant design
In the construction of plants for processing raw
materials, we combine and focus our know-how to
create new concepts for high availability and eco-
friendly design, reducing energy requirements and
emissions.
In some cases, we test new plants and machinery
on a smaller scale to save costs and time. In the
area of pyroprocessing, for example, ores are exam-
ined under real conditions in a scaled-down rotary
kiln using different preheater systems. This process
delivers important parameters, which are used later
to optimize the design of the industrial-scale plant.
Our ideas for the use of secondary raw materials to
generate power set global standards. Using house-
hold waste or wood chippings conserves resources,
reduces costs, and maximizes plant efficiency.
With our extensive materials database for ores, we
give our customers a key knowledge edge that
allows ores to be classified quickly and reliably and
plants to be designed for optimum efficiency.

ONE-STOP SHOP
We are one of the few full-range suppliers
to the minerals & mining industry
worldwide – from consulting, planning,
project development, engineering,
manufacture, and delivery to erection,
start-up, and after-sales service. Our
customers benefit from our decades of
experience and our global presence.
ThyssenKrupp develops the ideal slewing bearing
for every application, from excavators to ship
loaders/unloaders. Our engineers consult exten-
sively with our customers and then design a
custom product. We also draw up all certification
documents on the basis of advanced analyses.
To plan and build surface mining equipment efficient-
ly, it is important to have the most precise picture
possible of the site conditions. Our engineers take
into account the local infrastructure, power supplies,
environmental requirements, and possible stockpile
locations. We also support the analysis of mineral
deposits.
Mine planning
ThyssenKrupp has unbeatable expertise in the plan-
ning of mines. We design the ideal process chain for
continuous conveying systems based on material
and process data. We then produce the equipment
and machinery layout in several variants, before
finally checking the profitability of the various alter-
natives.

Financing strategies
Our offering is rounded out by a wide range of
financing services. For these services, we form
partnerships with a broad selection of national and
international institutes to realize short-, mid-, or
long-term financing models for our customers.

robustness and strength with significantly lower
weight. In the minerals & mining industry it is used
wherever heavy-duty materials are required, for
example, in dump trucks, crawler-mounted vehicles,
and excavators.

When it comes to the mining, crushing, transporting, and spreading of ores,

minerals, coal, and overburden, ThyssenKrupp has unique expertise. With our
innovative equipment and detailed planning services, we can design the
entire continuous surface mining process to maximize efficiency. To achieve
this we constantly explore new paths.

Continuous surface mining Surface mining equipment and systems in detail

A BREAK
WITH THE PAST
Our fully mobile crusher is revolutionizing
the surface mining industry. It reduces
the raw materials directly at the mine face
so that they can then be transported away
on belt conveyors – the use of heavy trucks
is no longer required. This significantly
reduces operating costs and cuts CO2
emissions by up to 350,000 tons per year.
In rock quarries, crushers reduce the rock or over-
burden directly at the face and the material is then
transported away on belt conveyors. ThyssenKrupp
has advanced the development of these in-pit
crushing systems and is one of the world’s leading
suppliers.
Our mobile and semi-mobile crushers achieve
throughputs of up to 14,000 tons per hour. Fully
mobile crushers are an outstanding example of
innovative engineering; their use lowers transpor-
tation costs in mining operations by up to 50%
and dispenses completely with the need for heavy
trucks. Our crushers are powered exclusively by
electricity, which means that mine operating costs
and CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced.

We are an experienced and reliable partner when
it comes to designing and building complete

Continuous ship unloaders
Rail-mounted continuous ship unloaders are an
