Mechanization of stowing mix transportation, increasing its efficiency and quality of the created mass

Abstract The paper describes the negative consequences of ore field development. It is deemed that one of the ways to reduce the negative impact of mining is the use of systems with the stowing of the worked-out area with man-made waste. Issues related to stowing mix transportation via pipeline were analyzed. Various types of pipeline transport equipment used at mines were compared. Technical features of this equipment were compared to ensure its effective incorporation into the process flow of stowing composite delivery. The positive influence of the activation treatment of stowing composite components and ready mix on the quality of the created solid mass was identified. The paper also discusses promising areas of the corresponding research activity.
