How Mucking Loader Machines Work

The mucking loader is a machine designed for loading rock, ore, or other materials into transportation vehicles such as mining shuttle cars, dump trucks, mining trucks, and other vehicles. Mucking loaders are crucial for ensuring productivity and safety in environments where material handling is challenging and hazardous, particularly in underground mining and tunneling. In this article, we will explore how mucking loader machines work. Siton, a leading manufacturer of underground muck loaders, is excited to share insights into the operation of these machines and highlight their benefits across various applications.

Key Components of Muck Loader

Bucket: The bucket is the primary tool for excavating material. It scoops up rock or debris and prepares it for transfer. Siton can install a breaker hammer on the bucket, allowing it to fully break up large rocks, coal blocks, and other materials after initial blasting, eliminating the need for further blasting.

Transport Chute: The transport chute is a key component that channels material from the conveyor belt to the transport vehicle or disposal area. It ensures that material is directed smoothly and efficiently, minimizing spillage and blockages. Siton’s transport chute features a patented wide shovel mouth design and an imported wear-resistant bottom plate. These enhancements improve its collection and loading efficiency, allowing it to transport rocks with a hardness of up to F18.

Boom: The boom provides the necessary reach to access materials from various angles and positions, enhancing the loader’s versatility and flexibility. Additionally, the boom's reach has been extended specifically for scaling operations, allowing it to cover more area effectively.

Cab: Safety always comes first. The cab is designed to meet FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) and ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) certification standards. Siton muck loaders can also be equipped with an enclosed cab, which includes options for heating and cooling devices. These features provide a better working environment for the operator in the extreme cold or heat of plateau conditions.

Travel Mechanism: The travel mechanism is the foundation of the entire machine, determining its mobility and stability. Based on the movement method, muck loaders can be classified into crawler type, wheel type, and track type. For zero-slope level road tunnels, wheel type belt mucking loaders are suitable. For slopes up to 25 degrees, a crawler type muck loader is ideal due to its large grip area, which prevents slag from flowing back or sliding down. Siton offers crawler mucking loaders that can handle slopes up to 32 degrees.
