Development and testing of a scale model Clamshell Mucker, and validation by discrete element modelling.
Shaft sinking is an important part of the mining process, of which “mucking” (clearing the broken rock from the bottom of the shaft) plays a critical role. The aim of the research was to develop a scaled experimental replica of the so-called Clamshell Mucker and compare its performance, over a ra...
