IPCC systems come from a few decades ago, first appearing in Germany in 1956. They were first applied to transport material out of a limestone quarry which was not possible by a truck and shovel operation due to the floor conditions [].In the current economic and political climate, high diesel prices, shortages of tyres for large off-highway trucks and labor, and high …

Due to the limited range of materials sizes that could be transported by conveyors (Terezopoulos, 1988), a mobile in-pit crusher system was used for crushing the extracted material. The in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) system is a combination of these two types of equipment (conveyor and crusher).

If the extracted material feeds into conveyors after passing through the crusher, the haulage system is termed a fully-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (FMIPCC) system. Similarly, if the conveyor belt is fed by trucks, the haulage system is a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (SMIPCC) system (Frizzell and Martin, 1992).

Material handling is a crucial aspect of open pit mining operations, involving truck haulage and conveyor transport system. One innovative approach to enhance the efficiency of the material handling operations is the implementation of the In-Pit Crushing and Conveying system (IPCC), which places the crusher inside the pit and the conveyor belts in a safer area.
