Hopper cleaned by long volvo excavator ll hopper fast cleaning for uninterrupted iron ore production 

Is this Video in slowmo?

Same dope that operates the hook by the looks of things. Must be the boss' son.

28 minutes of nothing Just pain watching this operator🤦🏻‍♂️ I think they do this slowly to kill the day and go home withouth finish the job I was the owner of that factory and I would have already fired that operator

Good operator: "Don't move dirt twice." Bad operator: "I'm gonna lift all this dirt up then drop it down where I found it."

It's painful watching this machine operator !!!

Let’s dig 18 would have been the better operator

If the excavator tracks were 90 degrees ,so sideways he would be closer. He would be able to see better and have a bit more reach.

That is not what I would call "long reach."

I have often wondered why they didn't clean the hopper when it gets built up. Just from my perspective it seems they get more boulders hanging up when the hopper is not "clean". But they could use a "true" long arm excavator. Just an opinion.

All these comments from 'experts that don't realise the operator may not be able to see what he is doing. Look at the height of the hopper wall above the excavator tracks.

I had no idea there was so many expert excavator operators on RU-vid.

I’ve seen glacier’s move faster than that!

Perfect you created a shelf for the new material to get stuck on !! You need a long reach machine and a better operator to remove all the material to the edge of the crusher !!

I noticed how gleamingly clean the windows are on the Excavator. The operator did not appear particularly intuitive using the Machine, but he’ll improve. Everybody does. That Volvo is a lovely machine to be learning on, if he is?

Instead of bucket touching strait to the hopper wall, you should install a scrapper plate to the bucket with springs between bucket and the scapper plate. This way the hopper wall will not be damaged because the springs will work as buffer .

I think " Hopper cleaned" is saying a bit much😅

Чувак просто страдает хернёй, типо время идёт и бабки капают.

weld a strip onto teeth so he dont have to worry about snagging a plate would have gone much easier my opinion

Don't bring it back up with an empty bucket! Make your moves count.

very few Operators seems to know what they are doing

Would have likely been quicker to get a smooth bucket and mount it backwards so you can push and scoop downwards rather than pulling up and dropping

worst case of milking a job I ever seen

If you don't know how to operate heavy equipment you should leave it to the real operator's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎

Would be more efficient to use the bucket to just push the material into the shute....

Seems to me they go the hard way to do this job

How well this high-performance excavator in action, produced by the famous Volvo company, is filmed!

1 thatsnota long reach excavator ,... 2 turn up the bloody revs ,... 3 OMG how so bloody painful to watch this guy operate ,... it's like it's his first week on the machine or he's scared cause he's being watched by some big wiggs???I don't know !!!!!

I think the excavator operator is doing time pass....he don't want do the job... irritating 🤔🤔

You need long arm to reach down to clear it. You guys need to keep. Clean up instead on ignore to build up the dirty and difficulty to run down the dump to crunch hole

Not much of an operator, or much of an operation. Trucks are running 3/4 loaded, look around the pit. It's a mess, sloppy site, light loads, must be a shit site to work at, nobody gives a damn.

You would think since they have to do this all the time they would have an excavator with a taller cab and a true long reach arm with a rubbery blade to push that packed dust down the hopper.

This is a stone crusher not a dirt crusher, the loads should be screened before it goes in the crusher, more than half of the load shouldn't be going in there just the stones, waste of time.

That's not a long stick trackhoe I doubt that operator could operate a long stick Regular stick is more than he can handle. Probably the best operator in the pit

Would some sort of vibrating wall be better solution turn it on once a day to vibrate all that clean?

Pretty confident I could fly to where this site is (Pakistan?) drive from the airport to a hotel, find and rent an excavator, have it delivered on site, teach myself how to use it and proceed to clean out the hopper before this guy would finish.

i'm no machine operator, but wouldn't a flat blade work better? used to use a "rake" type tool, but with a solid blade, for moving grain around (by hand). was much easier and more efficient than a shovel or similar. worth a try maybe?

Very competent operator but I can't understand why he didn't draw the bucket towards the machine after pushing from the top. Just a thought.

at this rate it'll be out of production for an inordinate amount of time - 'dig-in Bro and get it moving - pronto!

Gosh that was PAINFUL to watch!!! Operator has no clue

There may be another reason for allowing the buildup - it stops the boulders and rocks from directly hitting and causing wear on the lining of the actual hopper. So a certain amount of buildup may be tolerable but not to the extent here

That's not fast. Scrapping inches when he has feet to go.

Wrong machine for the job they should invest in a longreach whit a tiltrotator and a bucket whitout teeths on it then they could remove that dumb hook thingy for clearing rock jams and just get s hammer for the long reach

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

The company should invest in a camera, so the operator can see where his bucket is, to prevent going too deep. The operator was very smooth on the controls.

That bucket is not a good tool for that. A large flat plate secured to the arm would do a much better job.

Kinda pointless unless they need to work on the sheeting.......otherwise it is just going to build up again Having the dirt there acts as a cushion so the big boulders don't bash against the metal......i would leave the dirt there if it doesn't need to be cleaned

All that excess material, nice

If you ever see a video on RU-vid with an excavator in it, you can be assured the comments will be filled with people calling the operator terrible at his job. Looks like he’s doing it just fine to me.

There should be large chains hanging down the hopper sides that can be moved side to side once a day to keep that hopper clean. That crane can be used to lift them up no more than 3 links to break the hard pan loose. Also either leave the water on continually to wash the hopper clean or leave it off so as not to make mud. To many people standing around doing nothing, Start getting that machinery cleaned up, or get fired.

Three days later and he still is not finished with the first side.

Need a longer arm excavator with wide flat bucket so the teeth will not damage the wall tiles

The most incompetent excavator operator I have ever seen

I think that if they put a steel plant across the bottom of the shovel weld it to the teeths

Pity someone doesn't make a steel/copper spinning brush attachment.

All I can think of watching this is the guy from will it blend going Dont Breathe this.

He must get paid by the hour 😂😂, he would see better if he had his tracks parallel with the edge of the hopper, it's relatively loose dirt so he won't topple in

I have an excavator. That took a lot of patience from the operator not to break the tiles.

Everyone else enjoying coffee break while he cleaning the hopper.. lol

It would be a lot easier if they didn’t have the claws on the end of the bucket.

если экскаватор поставить бортом к завальной яме, он сможет дальше достать ковшом

The title says fast cleaning, there is nothing fast about what this operator is doing. must be first time sat in the seat.

They’re gravity dropping 20 ton boulders out of huge dumpers and they’re “worried about damaging the hopper liner” 😂 This operator is just slow, whack or both!! ⏰ 😴

Put a machine that vibrates it and not only will it keep it clean using "liquifaction", but it will also speed up the process of crushing stone down the "hopper" by "motivating" the smaller rocks/particles.. If you used a bass speaker to produce the vibrations then just like the Egyptians described you will be using sound to move stone...

This is not a long excavator

I have to say, I am impressed by how quiet this machine is. Usually all the equipment in this part of the world is clapped out to shit. This one is actually tight. The operator is slow as shit, but the machine is nice.

if this is fast cleaning, i wonder how slow cleaning looks like

This build up would be prevented if they didn't use the misting spray. Job security i guess

Never understood why the hopper didn't have vibrators fitted on the underside.. running them whilst unloading would have virtually eliminated this sort of fines build up. And its' a standard excavator - certainly not a long reach one..

Should have moved the bucket side to side

Not sure what you class as fast cleaning, I nearly died of old age watching the “not so long “ excavator drag that job out! 😬

Ok start at the bottom and the top ore will fall by its self simple

Surely this was a job for Captain Hook?

Play at 2X speed and they get more done.

if thats what you call fast you dont want to see someone thats not riding out the clock

That excavator doesn’t need a bucket, it needs a huge spatula

The people that run this plant are clueless,the machine does not have the reach the bucket is wrong,I have watched them for a while not sure how they make any money

Shame not to see the work done With 30 minutes of videos I thought I would see the completely clean instalation.

pero en serio se estan oyendo lo que dicen, caen rocas de mas de 50 toneladas y les preocupa lo que le pueda hacer a la pared de la tolva una rascadita de uno de los dientes. la limpieza es completamente ineficiente ese operario parece que es el primer dia ese tipo de limpieza se deberia de hacer de abajo a arriba pero claro si no estan usando ni la maquina correcta una maquina de brazo extensible o brazo largo. en definitiva el que deberia de abandonar su puesto de trabajo por que la parada de la maquina genero la parada de toda la planta deberia de ser el encargado por no adecuar las herramientas necesarias a los operarios y poder estar usando la otra parte de la tolva para descargar

Extremely painful watching this video. Watching paint dry is better than watching this video. The hoppers were not even close to being cleaned out.

These guys would dig over their drives..

This guy, is never an excavator driver !!

Looks like a standard excavator not an extended stick out anything

Must be the operators first day

того оператора,который включает воду при разгрузке машин - с лопатой туда загнать! потом пусть подумает,стоит ли оно того!

What about the lego hook 😎

what the hell is he dooing ? ? ?

Оператор не пойми какой работает как перый раз за пультом😂

a big job!

Вот нет бы экскаватору боком встать и стрела длинше и есди туда сюда чуть чуть

I can't even right now. Wtf just scrap it and get it done. I'm so anxious right now. I hope this guy doesn't load truck

You'd think there would be a vibrator built intot he hopper to prevent build up like that, or at least a specialized attachment instead of a bucket.

can you make a new video went you will clean up the wall another time on this one the work is not finish and i went know if you can take off all the stuff really

How much do you get paid to stand there and watch?

That is not excavator, it is a turtels

Just wondering instead of using the excavator if you just take the boom and mount it on a track above the hopper with not sure if correct term. But the claw the use to pick up trees. It's flat so you won't damage the plates as you slide the paydirt off the sides. Pluss added effect if you get a bolder jam you can just grab it with the claw and slide it in to the crusher

Обычно я хорошо засыпаю на этих видео. Всё так так медленно. И крюк медленный, и экскаватор медленный.

They should pay out bonuses suggestions for improvement . Time is money but probably not for you. Sie sollten für Verbesserungsvorschläge Prämien auszahlen . Zeit ist Geld aber wohl nicht bei euch .

how about lining the chute with a thick metal plate mounted on springs with vibrators attached to avoid all this careful slow maneuvering you praise this operator for silk touching tiles that gets huge boulders dropped on them every day all time spent not processing ore is profit-consuming

That outfit looks like cowboys work there

You need a grade all machine with a 6 foot wide 2 for high blade that you can rotate 360 degrees to efficiently clean the hopper sides. Would be a lot quicker and a direct reach instead of articulated.
