Vermeer Corporation: Why Quarries Should Consider Surface Miners for Aggregate Mining

Excavating aggregates in quarries has always been challenging. Increased regulations related to dust, vibrations and noise are complicating the work even more. Fortunately, surface miners can help. Continuous surface mining offers quarries real advantages, such as additional access to areas with physical or permitting limitations, precise cutting action, and minimal noise, dust and vibration. These machines can work alongside drill and blast methods to maximize productivity — and in some cases, they can replace explosives altogether.
