Mining Tyres | Off The Road Tyres | OTR Tyres

SELECTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE OF OTR (OFF THE ROAD) TYRES

Uses and characteristics of OTR.
The qualities which OTR must possess differ somewhat according to the function they must serve and the type of vehicles on which they are mounted.






Tyres are two types.
# Bias Tyre.
# Radial tyre.

# Structure and functions of OTR components.
* Steel radial type: - consists of four primary components. Casing piles, beads, belts and tread. These four components are primarily responsible for the tyre’s fundamental characteristics.

# Proper Tyre selection: -
In selecting the tyres suited for your specific requirements, all the factors which may affect the tyre must be taken in to account.
The following conditions, for example, make selection of the proper tyre more difficult.
* When climate changes are extreme (temperature, rain fall)
* When several types of vehicles by different makers are in use.
* When tyres are subject to hazards by both heat and cutting at the same time.
In these cases, the worst possible conditions should be estimated and tyres selected to meet those conditions.

¤ Type of vehicle
* Make, model.
* Maximum capacity of load.
* Maximum speed and horse power.
* Tyre size, star rating and ply rating.

¤ Operating conditions
* Climate
* Roads
* Operating speed
* Operating load
* Operating Tons KM per Hour
* Maintenance

¤ Performance expected
* Serviceability expected
* Heat and cut resistance
* Re capability
* Maneuverability
* Customer’s requirements

¤ Selection
*Correct tyre size, star rating and ply rating, type and tread pattern
*Correct specification of tyres.
*Correct inflation pressures.

¤ Proper tyre use
To get the most out of your tyres, tyres should be used correctly. Misuse of tyres will be inevitably resulting in rapid wearing and shortened serviceability, in some cases there is even a danger of ACCIDENTS.
To use tyres correctly the following five points must be observed with co-operation from five members of your staff
.

* Correct inflation pressures: - Tyre man
* Specified load: - Shovel operator
* Prescribed vehicle speed: - Driver
* Proper vehicle maintenance: - Mechanics
* Full road maintenance: - Road maintenance staff

# Storage and Transportation of OTR
Tyre stock is divided in to New, Used and Worn out tyres.

¤ Grouping
* New tyres (not mounted on rims)
* New/used tyres (mounted on rims)
* Demounted tyres…..worn out, to be repaired
* Spare tyres (re usable, repaired, recapped)
* Scrapped tyres

# Method of storage
¤ New tyres
* Indoor storage. A cool, dark, dryplace.
* Outdoor storage. Covered with water proof tarpaulin.
* Tyres not mounted on rims must not be laid on top of one another.
* Keep away from motors, power switch boxes and cables, fuels and lubricants.
* Keep fire extinguisher ready for use.
* Do not remove bead protector or steel band until you are ready to mount the tyre.

¤ Used tyres
* Storage methods are the same as those used for new tyres.
* Remove stones and nails from tyres before storage.
* Attach a tag showing the tyre’s outer diameter for easy reference when the tyre is used again.

¤ Tyres on vehicles (when vehicle is not in operation)
* If possible, place the vehicle on jacks to keep the weight off the tyres.
* Cover tyres with tarpaulin.
* If the vehicle cannot be placed on jacks, move the vehicle once a month to prevent permanent distortion of tyres and keep the inflation pressure as prescribed.
* Do not paint tyres.

¤ Tubes
* New tubes should be kept packaged and in a cool, dry place.
* Used tubes should be deflated, cleaned and stored.
* Arrange tubes in storage by size.

Metode Peledakan Tambang Bawah Tanah

Peledakan Tambang Bawah Tanah
Pada proses penambangan bawah tanah terdapat bermacam-macam cara untuk membuat lubang bukaan atau terowongan. Salah satunya adalah dengan cara peledakan.Peledakan pada pembuatan terowongan adalah pekerjaan melepas dan memecah batuan dengan menggunakan bahan peledak sehingga didapatkan bentuk yang diinginkan dengan ukuran material yang mudah diangkut dan dibuang dengan peralatan yang
tersedia atau peledakan pada proses penambangan pada tambang bawah tanah dilakukan untuk melepaskan bijih dari batuan induknya ataupun untuk memperkecil ukurannya untuk
memudahkan pengangkutan kepermukaan.

Peledakan pada tambang bawah tanah berbeda dengan peledakan pada tembang terbuka, perbedaannya yaitu pada peledakan tambang terbuka dilakukan dengan dua atau lebih arah bidang bebas sedangkan pada peledakan tambang bawah tanah hanya mempunyai satu arah bidang bebas.

Hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam peledakan tambang bawah tanah yaitu:
  • Pemilihan bahan peledak
  • Metode dan teknik yang digunakan
  • Pengendalian peledak terkait dengan keselamatan dan kondisi lingkungan
  • Asap dan uap hasil peledakan yang mengandung gas-gas berbahaya
Mengingat dalam proses peledakan tambang bawah tanah membutuhkan biaya yang besar dan resiko keselamatan kerja dan lingkingan yang tinggi, maka hendaknya proses peledakan peledakan dilakukan dengan efektif dan seefisien mungkin dengan memperhatikan keselamatan kerja dan lingkungan.
Dalam penulisan makalah kami mengutamakan kosentrasi pada metode peledakan pada terowongan secara umum, pemilihan bahan peledak dan pengendalian bahan peledak hubungannya dengan kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja.


A. Pemilihan Bahan Peledak Pada tambang bawah tanah

Pada dasarnya bahan peledak (explosive) terdiri dari campuran tiga bahan yaitu :
  1. Zat kimia yang mudah bereaksi, yang berfungsi debagai bahan peledak dasar (explosive base), misalnya Nitrogliserin (NG), Trinitrotiliene (TNT), Ethylene glycoldinitrate,dan lain-lain.
  2. Oksidator, yang berfungsi memberikan oksigen, misalnya KClO3, NaClO3, NaNO3, dan sebagainya
  3. Zat penyerap/tambahan misalnya serbuk kayu, serbuk batubara, dan lain-lain.
Berdasarkan kecepatan perambatan reaksinya, bahan peledak dapat dibagi menjadi :
  1. Low Explosive, ciri-cirinya adalah :
-          kecepatan perambatan reaksinya rendah
-     Tidak seluruhnya bahan yang ada berubah dari phase padat menjadi phase gas sehingga menimbulkan tekanan dan temperatur yang tinggi
-          Hanya menghasilkan proses pembakaran yang relatif lambat (deflagrasi) dan tidak menghasilkan getaran gelombang.
  1. Hihg Explosive, cirri-cirinya adalah :
-          Kecepatan perambatan reaksinya relatif lebih cepat dari low ecplosive
-          Semua bahan peledak berubah menjadi phase gas
-   Menghasilkan peoses propagasi yaitu mengembangbiakan daripada gelombang getaran melalui bahan yang diikuti dengan reaksi kimia yang menyediakan energi untuk kelanjutan propagasi secara stabil.

Penggunaan bahan peledak didalam tambang bawah tanah  harus diperhatikan faktor-faktor :

    1.  Sifat dari bahan Peledak
-          Api peledaknya kecil
-          Peledakan berlangsung cepat
-          Temperatur peledakan relative rendah
-          Tidak menghasilkan gas beracun

    1. Disesuaikan dengan material yang diledakkan
    2. Particular set dari standar blasting (OB dan BR)
    3. Besarnya biaya
Macam bahan peledak yang digunakan untuk pembuatan terowongan dan proses penambangan pada tambang bawah tanah yaitu :
    1. Blasting agent, yaitu bahan peledak yang merupakan suatu campuran kimiawi atau komposisi kimia dari bahan-bahan yang tak mengandung Nitrogliserin dan hanya dapat diledakkan oleh “High strength ecplosive primer”. Sifat-sifatnya yang mengentungkan adalah lebih aman dalam faktor pengangkuta karena tidak mengandung Nitrogliserin, tidak membuat rasa pusing akibat baunya, dapat dipaket dalam satu tabung metal sehingga tahan terhadap air dan harganya lebih murah.
    2. Permissible Explosive, yaitu bahan peledak yang khusus dipakai pada tambang bawah tanah, misalnya tambang batubara. Bahan peledak ini tidak mengandung gas-gas beracun, mengandung 60-80% Amonium Nitrate dan 7-15% Nitrogliserin. Syarat-syarat untuk permissible explosive adalah :
-          Api peledakannya kecil dan peledakan berlangsung cepat
-          Temperatur peledakan relatif rendah
-          Tidak menghasilkan gas-gas beracun.
    1. Water gels (slurries), yaitu campuran oxidizer seperti sodium nitrat dan ammonium nitrat, bahan bakar sebagai sensitizer dan air kurang lebih 15%. Water gels sangat cocok digunakan pada tambang bawah tanah oleh karena ketahanannya terhadap air. Kelebihan lain water gels adalah:
-          Tidak meledak bila dibanting ataupun diledakkan secara tiba-tiba
-          Tidak meledak bila dipanaskan ataupun dibakar tetapi akan mengeluarkan asap dengan tekanan tinggi
-          Setelah ledakan uap atau asap ledakannya lebih sedikit bila dibandingkan dengan ANFO atau Dinamit.

    1. Dinamit, terdiri dari granular dinamit, semi gelatin dan gelatir dinamit.

B. Metode Peledakan Didalam Terowongan

B.1. Pola Lubang Tembak

Peledakan didalam terowongan selalu dimulai dengan satu atau lebih peledakan pemula untuk menciptakan satu gua atau bolongan pada permukaan terowongan yang akan ditembus. Gua atau bolongan ini disebut “Cut” yang berfungsi sebagai bidang bebas terhadap paledakan berikutnya. “Cut” ini kemudian diperbesar dengan peledakan dua atau lebih susunan lubang tembak “easer”. Peledakan berikutnya atau yang terakhir adalah peledakan lubang “trimmer” yang menentukan bentuk dari terowongan.
Efisiensi peledakan didalam terowongan sangat tergantung pada sukses tidaknya peledakan “cut”. Cut dapat dibuat melalui beberapa pola lubang tembak. Nama-nama pola ini disebut sesuai dengan jenis “cut” yang dibentuk. Dalam memilih tipe “cut” yang sesuai maka pertimbangan harus didasarkan atas :
-          Kondisi batuan yang akan ditembus
-          Bentuk dan ukuran terowongan
-          Kemajuan yang ditargetkan, yaitu besar kemajuan setiap ronde peledakan yang ditentukan oleh kedalaman daripada “cut”.

Jenis-jenis pola lubang tembak yang sering dan pernah dipakai pada peledakan didalam terowongan yaitu:
a. Drag Cut
Pola ini sesuai dipakai pada batuan yang mempunyai struktur bidang perlapisan, misalnya batuan serpih. Lubang “cut” dibuat menyudut terhadap bidang perlapisan pada bidang tegak lurus, sehingga batuan akan terbongkar menurut bidang perlapisan. “Cut” ini cocok untuk terowongan berukuran kecil (lebar 1,5-2m) dimana  kemajuan yang besar tidak terlalu penting.

b.Fan Cut
Pada “Fan Cut” lubang tembaknya dibuat menyudut dan berada pada bidang mendatar. Setelah “cut” diledakkan maka batuan yang ada diantara dua baris lubang “cut” akan terbongkar. Selanjutnya lubang-lubang “easer” dan “trimmer” akan memperbesar bukaan “cut” sampai kepada bentuk geometri daripada terowongan. Cut ini cocok dipakai pada batuan yang berstruktur berlapis-lapis.

c. V-Cut
“V-Cut” sering dipakai dalam peledakan didalam terowongan. Lubang tembak pada pola ini diatur sedemikian rupa sehingga tiap dua lubang membentuk V. Sebuah “Cut” dapat terdiri dari dua atau tiga pasang V, masing-masing pada posisi horizontal. Lubang-lubang tembak pada “cut” biasanya dibuat membentuk sudut 60o terhadap permukaan terowongan. Dengan demikian panjang kemajuan tergantung pada lebar daripada terowongan karena panjang batang bor terbatas pada lebar tersebut. Satu atau dua buah lubang tembak yang lebih pendek disebut “burster” dan dapat dibuat ditengah “cut” untuk memperbaiki hasil fragmentasi.

d. Pyramid Cut
“Pyramid Cut” terdiri dari 4 buah lubang tembak yang saling bertemu pada satu titik ditengah terowongan. Pada batuan yang keras banyaknya lubang “cut” ditambah hingga menjadi 6 buah.

e. Burn Cut
Pola ini berbeda dengan “cut” yang lain. Perbedaannya yaitu pada “cut” lain lubang cut membentuk sudut satu sama lain sedang dalam “burn cut” lubang “cut” dibuat sejajar satu sama lain dan tegak lurus terhadap permukaan terowongan. Pada pola ini beberapa lubang “cut” tidak diisi dengan bahan peledak yang berfungsi sebagai bidang bebas terhadap lubang “cut” yang diisi dengan bahan peledak. Lubang “cut” yang kosong dapat lebih dari satu dan ukurannya lebih besar dari lubang “cut” yang diisi. Keuntungan dari pada “burn cut” adalah :
-          Kemajuan tidak lagi tergantung pada lebar terowongan karena semua lubang dibuat sejajar dengan sumbu terowongan
-          Proses pemboran menjadi lebih mudah.

Lubang “easer” dan Trimmer”

Lubang “easer” dibuat mengelilingi “cut” untuk memperbesar bukaan “cut” sehingga lubang “trimmer” dapat membuat bentuk daripada terowongan. Untuk terowongan berukuran biasa, satu ronde peledakan terdiri dari sekitar 40 buah lubang tembak dimana setiap lubang tembak membuat bukaan seluas sekitar 0,25-0,5 m2.
Banyaknya lubang “easer” serta penempatannya tergantung kepada pola lubang “cut”. Pada pola “burn cut” penempatan lubang “easer” tidak boleh terlalu dekat pada “cut” untuk menghindari terjadinya ledakan premature daripada lubang easer. Disarankan untuk menempatkan lubang easer antara 30-50 cm dari “cut”.
Lubang trimmer pada akhirnya akan membuat bentuk dari terowongan. Banyak dan posisi daripada lubang “trimmer” tergantung daripada ukuran terowongan, kekerasan batuan, dan fragmentasi yang disesuaikan dengan system pemuatan.

Sistem Kemajuan

Pada prinsipnya pembuatan terowongan sama dengan shaft, hanya arahnya saja yang berbeda yaitu horizontal. Apabila pembuatan lubang bukaan sudah lebih besar daripada 45o maka ini sudah dinamakan shift. Sistem kemajuan tergantung kepada alat bor yang tersedia, kondisi batuan dan sistem penyangga yang dipergunakan, tetapi cara yang umum dipakai dalam pembuatan terowongan terdiri dari dua system yaitu :
-          Cara “full face”
-          Cara “top heading and bench”

Dalam cara “full face” seluruh permukaan lubang bukaan dibor dengan sistem pola pemboran tertentu dan kemudian sekaligus diledakkan, sedangkan cara pembuatan “bench method”, dimana lubang bukaan dibuat menjadi dua bagian dalam pemboran dan peledakan yaitu bagian atas dan bagian bawah. Pekerjaan peledakan dilakukan pertama pada bagian atas.

Perimeter Blasting

Perimeter Blasting adalah proses peledakan yang dilaksanakan dengan sangat hatu-hati. Untuk mendapatkan permukaan akhir lubang bukaan yang tepat dan kondisi batuan disekitar lubang tersebut tidak mengalami kerusakan. Maksud dari “perimeter blasting” tidak hanya untuk memperoleh permukaan bukaan yang rata tetapi juga untuk menjaga agar daerah disekitar permukaan tidak mengalami keretakan dan kerusakan selama bukaan tersebut digunakan.
Perimeter Blasting berguna untuk :
-          Membuat rata permukaan terowongan
-          Membuat agar permukaan terowongan lebih stabil
-          Mengurangi “over break”
-          Mengurangi pemakaian beton
-          Mengurangi retakan dan masuknya aur tanah kedalam terowongan.
Dikenal dua teknik untuk pelaksanaan “perimeter blasting” yaitu:
-          “pre-splitting”
-          smooth blasting

Dasar kedua teknik tersebut adalah pada pengisian bahan peledak dengan diameter yang lebih kecil dari diameter lubang tembak sehingga bahan peledak tidak langsung bersentuhan dengan dinding lubang tembak atau disebut dengan istilah “decoupled charge”. Lubang-lubang ini dibuat pada kontur akhir terowongan yang direncanakan dan diledakkan secara bersama-sama. Perbedaan “pre-spliting” dan “smooth blasting” adalah pada peledakan daripada lubang-lubang kontur ini. Pada “pre-splitting” lubang kontur diledakkan sebelum peledakan utama sedang pada “smooth blasting” lubang kontur diledakkan setelah peledakan utama. Perbedaan lain adalah dalam hal jarak lubang tembak (spacing) dimana pada presplitting lubang kontur lebih rapat letaknya satu sama lain. Pada pre-splitting jarak lubang kontur biasanya antara 8-12 kali diameter lubang dan jarak antara lubang tembak dengan bidang bebas (burden) adalah tak terterhingga. Konsentrasi isian bahan peledak (dalam kg per meter) pada “pre-splitting” dan “smooth blasting” adalah sama.


Pengendalian  Bahan Peledak

Bahan peledak selain merupakan bahan yang bermanfaat bagi kepentingan manusia, juga merupakan barang yang berbahaya sehingga penanganan bahan peledak pada kegiatan penambangan sangat penting untuk diketahui.

Pengamanan sebelum peledakan.     
Sebelum pekerjaan peledakan dilakukan, ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan yaitu :
-  Melakukan kontrol keadaan disekeliling daerah yang akan diledakkan untuk menghindari hal-hal yang bakal terjadi diluar perhitungan.
-  Sebelum dimulai pekerjaan mempersiapkan primer/ bahan peledak dan mengisinya kelubang bor, maka terlebih dahulu semua jalan masuk ditempat peledakan harus pada jarak yang cukup jauh dipasang tanda-tanda perhatian yang menyolok mata dan dimengerti, juga ditempat aman pada jalan masuk tersebut tidak ditempatkan penjaga.
-   Pekerja/ orang-orang serta peralatan yang ada ditempat yang akan diledakkan harus segera diamankan.
-    Bila tempat peledakan yang akan diledakkan  itu terletak sedemikian dekat dari tempat kerja lain, dimana akibat dari peledakan itu dapat membahayakan, maka petugas peledakan wajib memberitahukan kepada karyawan-karyawan yang ada ditempat kerja tersebut supaya menyingkir ditempat perlindungan yang aman pada saat pelaksanaan peledakan.
-          Untuk pemegang blasting machine harus memperhitungkan arah angin / ventilasi, dan tempat berlindung terhadap kejatuhan benda atau batuan khususnya dari batuan atap.

 Pengamanan Sesudah Peledakan

Sesudah peledakan, maka yang harus dilakukan adalah :
-          Tidak memperkenankan seorangpun memasuki tempat yang sudah      diledakkan dalam jangka waktu 30 menit
-          Setelah melampaui batas waktu tersebut maka juru ledak harus terlebih dahulu memeriksa dan membuktikan bahwa daerah tersebut sudah bebas dari pengaruh gas-gas yang berbahaya, misfire dan batu-batu menggantung dari hasil peledakan, sebelum mengijinkan pekerja lain memasuki tempat kerja tersebut.
-          Pada lubang ledak yang misfire harus diberi tanda dengan menutup lubang ledak tersebut dengan sumbat/ tongkat kayu yang dapat dilihat dengan jelas dan tidak dibenarkan mengorek keluar material stemming lubang ledak tersebut.

4 bodies recovered; trapped miners rescued
Dhanbad: Bodies of the four miners, who were trapped in a colliery in Dhanbad have been taken out. The remaining trapped miners have also been rescued. At least 20 people were left trapped in the Basantimata colliery in Dhanbad in Jharkhand on Monday after a roof caved in at a BCCL coal mine, leading to suspension of mining activities at the site. Bharat Coking Coal (BCCL) Chairman and Managing Director Tapas Kumar Lahiry has said that the Basantimata mine in the Chanch/Victoria area caved in at about 11 am on Monday during an inspection by colliery officials after the night shift.
The incident occurred during a break between shifts, Lahiry said, adding that generally about 100 miners work in one shift. The four employees trapped inside were Heera Lal and Sitaram Majhi, besides Litu Saha and Arup Chatterjee, he said. Dhanbad-based BCCL, a Coal India subsidiary, accounts for almost 50 per cent of the total prime coking coal requirement of the integrated steel sector.

World's NEW Largest Dumper Truck

Belaz 75710 is more than 65ft long, 26ft high and can carry 450 tons of debris.
It can even thunder along at 40mph. The Belaz 75710 was unveiled today and its makers in the former Soviet republic of Belarus plan to submit it for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records.

Belaz debuted its latest dump truck last month, and the Belarusian company claims it to be the biggest in the world. The 75710 can carry a staggering 496-ton (equivalent to 450 metric tons) payload, and will be used in open mines on temporary roads. To put the size of the truck into perspective, take a look at one of its eight tires, which is twice as tall as an average-size person!

Two 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines with a combined capacity of 130 liters power the mining truck, with help from an electromechanical transmission to put the power to the ground. Each engine produces 2,300 horsepower for a combined 4,600 hp, yet that number seems paltry when considering the combined torque rating: 13,738 pound-feet of torque! All that power nets a top speed of just 40 miles per hour, but at least the weight distribution evens out with a full payload. Speaking of full payloads, the truck has a max weight of 893 tons filled to the brim.
Belaz's chief designer for mining vehicles, Leonid Trukhnov, says the 75710 is the first 496-ton mining truck made, and the company is submitting documents to claim a Guinness World Record.
Watch the images of the Belaz 75710 below, and notice how small people standing next to it look compared to the enormous machine.
