ROCK FLOW - CONTINUOUS HARD ROCK HAULAGE SYSTEM
The innovative Cat® Rock Flow system is a new technology that radically changes the way in which ore is moved in block caving mines from draw point to crusher. Rock Flow is achieved through continuous caving, removal from the drawpoint and conveying. The Cat® Rock Flow system comprises of several components, all centrally controlled from a remote location: the Rock Feeder RF300 to remove ore from the drawpoint, the Rock Mover RM900 (a newly developed chain conveyor) to feed ore into a crusher and an automation unit to control and smooth the production process.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Block cave mining is a mass-mining technique used in many underground mines around the world. The innovative Cat® Rock Flow System - jointly developed with the Chilean mining company Codelco - greatly improves productivity by making use of continuous haulage technology as compared to the conventional use of LHD’s. The Cat Rock Flow System combines the usage of a Rock Feeder, a Rock Mover and an automation system to deliver mass mining production with improved safety and sustainability. The Rock Feeder RF300 extracts ore from the drawpoint onto the Rock Mover (Hard Rock Chain Conveyor) by a hydraulically operated push plate. The Rock Mover RM900 is a dedicated hard rock production conveyor that collects ore from various drawpoints. An automation system (featuring remote operation from surface) allows draw and quality control and records operational data.
Overview
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
The Rock Feeder RF300 consists of a dozer and pushing cylinders designed to push the ore from the drawpoint to the hard rock production conveyor. In a reciprocating action the RF300 guarantees continuous feed. It can be quickly removed from the drawpoint at any time for maintenance or clearance work in the drawpoint.
