amdeb operates a Samson® mobile surface
feeder at its diamond mining operations in
Namibia which is handling raw sands at the
rate of 1 Mt/mth per operating continuously 24/7. To
minimise the haulage costs in total it is necessary to
maximise the relative benefits of both haul trucks and
the continuous belt conveyor. Truck haulage is more
economic in short runs and has the benefit of
complete flexibility, there is no fixed plant to move as
the working face develops and the dump truck can
simply follow the excavator. Manufacturer SAMSON
Materials Handling Ltd says its concept provides the
critical mobile link allowing
material to be loaded
easily at any point
