Sustainable qualification of engineers, technicians and skilled labour in the mining sector

Since ancient times the produc-tion of raw materials and min-erals has been decisive for developing and sustaining the wealth of empires and nations. Until today the names of states are reminiscent of minerals and raw materials that have been discovered or produced there – e.g. Argentine, Cyprus ...

The exploration and mining of minerals is still the backbone of energy production, of the manu-facturing sector and of the pro-cessing of industrial goods.

Against this background many countries all over the world will increase their efforts to produce, process and recycle raw materi-als. The key-technologies utilized for those purposes require con-siderable investment in tech-nical equipment and human re-sources. The engineering, opera-tion and maintenance of mining equipment is costly and often very specific in terms of environ-mental, climatical and technical aspects.

As the biggest and most expen-sive land-based machines are applied in in the mining sector – e.g. excavators, trucks and dozers, conveyor belts, special freight trains and special equip- ment for underground mining – safe operation and reliable main-tenance are of high importance.

More than 16,000 people world-wide are working towards inno-vative solutions for various segments. This reflects Festo’sphilosophy of full partnership and close proximity to more than 300,000 customers in over 200 industries, realised via 250 Festo locations and 59 national Festo companies.

Mining starts with the extraction of raw materials, followed by processing, refining and finally recycling the materials.

Mining itself can be divided into surface mining and under-ground mining. Surface mining is often applied in the produc-tion of lignite, but also metal ores can be hauled via surface mining when the ore is near under the surface. Underground mining in general is more costly and requires a high capital input before the precious mineral can be processed and marketed.

The variety of Mining: Surface Mining and Underground Mining

Ore-preparation, refining and recycling Not only the haulage of ore is decisive but also the processing, refining and – at a later stage – the recycling of raw materials is closely linked to the nature of the ore and the mineral itself. Aluminum is treated differently compared to gold or iron or coal. In general the preparation and processing of ores requires the application of advanced process control technologies.

Technical objectives:• Transport: only the valuable

materials will be transported• Coal and ores are optimized

for further processing• Protection of the environment

Characteristic technologies in use: • Mechatronical systems• Process automation and

control technology• Various types of pumps and

valves

Surface Mining Marked by the application of key-technologies like:• Mechanical Engineering in order to maintain the

heavy duty machinery • Large diesel engines in trucks and dozers; alternatively

electric drives in bucket excavators and conveyor belts e.g.• Mobile hydraulic systems as integral part for dozers and

excavators• Transport systems like conveyor belts• Water management systems

Underground Mining The specialities can be summarized as follows: • Special safety requirements because of high explosion risk

(coal mines in specific)• Special communication systems are applied• Special mine support systems to stabilize tunnels and shafts• Ventilation and air conditioning are important as the climate

is getting warmer in the depth• Lifting and the transportation of goods and miners through

special trains, vehicles and other devices• Application of specialized machines, e.g. shearers or ploughs• Application of various mechanical sysems – belts, chains,

mechanical power transmission components like gearboxes and clutches, braking systems

• Water management is of high importance; pumps, pipes, pressure relief systems have to guarantee that the mine stays dry

Qualification and development of skilled labour

Technologies applied in the Mining Sector

Technologies applied in the mining sector largely depend on the nature of the ore deposit, on the climate conditions and on the type of the ores that are extracted. In the recent dec-ades the relevant mining tech-nologies became more complex as computer-based control and monitoring systems have been introduced, e.g. remote control of machinery in underground mining. Due to these changes simple works formerly executed by semi-skilled personnel has been taken over by automatized machines. Therefore modern mining requires a highly skilled and experienced workforce for both operation and maintenance of machinery.

In surface-mining as well as in underground mining and in prep-aration processes various tech-nologies are applied.

The technologies in these fields include: • Mechanical systems

(conveyors, belts and chains, hydraulics, pumps, gears and clutches, pipes a.o.)

• Electrical engineering (drives, electrical installation, power supply and distribution etc.)

• Automotive technology (trucks, excavators and gene- rators with diesel engines, brake-systems, clutches etc.)

• Process control technologies• Safety technologies

(protection from hazardous gases, dust, fire, heavy loads)

• Information technology• Communication technology Vocational training schemes should be designed for the technical and organizational demands of the mining compa-nies. Festo Didactic is a world-wide experienced partner in all aspects of technical vocational education and training as well as in further training for technicians and engineers.

Some typical operational areas in Mining and Ore-preparation

• Assembling and dismantling machinery and mining equipment • Maintenance, repair, assembling and replacement of mechanical

parts like belts, chains, clutches, gearboxes, braking systems, mechanical mining equipment a.o.

• Commissioning, operating and maintaining mining machinery with hybrid technologies

• Applying and operating process control equipment• Installing and operating hydraulic and pneumatic controls and

components• Assessing geological conditions• Excavation and maintaining of mining structures • Applying transport and logistic operations• Observing and applying safety, health and environmental

Holistic training approach Training and educational consulting services

Besides investment in infrastruc-ture and machinery the imple-mentation of a demand driven human resources development concept is necessary at an early stage. Basic and further quali-fication of the local workforce should be a central element to safely operate modern min-ing equipment. Countries with-out mining tradition could highly benefit from the know-how avail-able in countries with long-time experience and profound exper-tise in mining like Germany.

Festo Didactic pursues a holis-tic training approach. All train-ing packages, standard packages as well as customized packages, encompass• a practical set of hardware

components, teachware fitting the hardware

• software to support individual learning and/or programming of electronic components

• training courses and services for trainers, technical teachers and technicians

• teachware comprising text- books, exercises, Web-Based-Trainings (WBT) and other materials

All packages facilitate learning and working in a team as well as individual learning.Companies implementing and maintaining Total Quality Man-agement systems including Con-tinuous Improvement Processes will highly benefit from the packages.

The demand for mining tech-nicians in specific and a highly skilled workforce in general will increase worldwide. The require-ments regarding the safe opera-tion of machinery have become very complex as mining often takes place under extreme geo-logical and climatical conditions.

Festo Didactic offers consultancy services in the implementation of initial technical vocational education and training schemes. As a German company running own apprenticeship schemes, Festo Didactic is very familiar with the German dual system in Vocational Education that has proven its performance in terms of quality and sustainability.Companies interested in adopt-ing such a system can highly benefit from the know-how and experience of Festo Didactic. The German dual system is still the cradle of Germany’s world-wide success in the manufactur-ing sector. The table shows a possible structure of trades adopted to the mining sector. The concept includes a proposal on basic vocational training similar to the German dual system and a pro-posal on advanced training.

Pneumatics training packagesInnovative and practical, right down to the smallest details

Position it – clamp it – done!With the Quick-Fix® mounting sys-tem, you can mount all components easily and securely on the profile plate and the profile column of a Learnline workstation. The electrical units are clamped into the ER frame and sequenced individually. The pro-file slots on the workstations are the same for all pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical units – a single invest-ment, with double the functionality.

Everything where you want it – systematic storageMost equipment sets are delivered in practical, Systainer-compatible equipment trays. This equipment tray fits in the drawers of the work-stations. The large pictogram on the components, designed in accordance with the latest standards, provides clear instructions for connecting the components and ensures short prep-aration and follow-up times. When dismantling circuits, you can quickly and easily locate where the compo-nent goes in the equipment tray.

Connect it – power!No compromise on safety: all electri-cal components and units are con-nected with 4 mm safety sockets or safety plugs. The pneumatic power is supplied by the connection of highly flexible plastic tubing to the Quick Star (QS) push-in fitting. The system therefore requires virtually no con-sumables or tools.

Your choice of training environmentUser-friendly training environments for specific topic areas:

– Self-study phases with the training programs

– Designing and documentation with FluidSIM®

– Practical implementation with the training packages and the exercis-es in the workbooks

– Functional testing and optimisation with measurement technology and FluidLab®

Advanced courses made easyNew developments and trends in fluid engineering can be incorporat-ed directly into our learning systems. New control systems can be integrat-ed into the learning system using the EduTrainer® concept. Basic packages can be easily expanded to include the subjects “Pneumatics measure-ment and control TP 210” or the new “Vacuum technology TP 230”.

TP 250 Safety in pneumatic systemsFunction, efficiency and above all safety determine the success of plant machinery and automated systems. New directives and laws require in-telligent solutions and raise the level of professional skills required. The systematic optimisation of a simple pneumatic system helps to identify hazards in pneumatic processes. The appropriate actions to reduce the risk can be implemented in a pro-fessional manner.

TP 230 Vacuum technologyHandling workpieces with suction grippers has become an indispensa-ble part of handling technology. It of-fers advantages such as the simple configuration of suction grippers and gentle handling of workpieces while also enabling rapid cycle times, and the capital outlay required is com-paratively low. The training package TP 230 expands the contents of TP 201 to include the key area of vacuum technology.

Modular for flexible expansion

Festo Didactic’s training packages are modular in structure. For exam-ple, you could start with the basic level of electropneumatics and then move onto the advanced level, or start with the subject of electrohy-draulics – the choice is yours. You’d like to explore a particular special-ised topic? All equipment set compo-nents can also be ordered separate-ly, so you can turn your own ideas into reality.

Pneumatics in the mining sector

Pneumatics is very often appliedin mines with a high explosion risk, e.g. coal-mines. Lifting devices are operated by pneumatics as well as track switches of conveyor belts, ventilation gates and numerous pneumatic tools.

Hydraulics training packagesTailored training in industrial and mobile hydraulics

Mobile hydraulicsThe new training packages for mo-bile hydraulics systematically and informatively explore complex topics and systems, such as work hydrau-lics, hydrostatic steering and drive systems for the agricultural, forestry and construction vehicle sectors and warehouse and municipal vehicles.

Modular for flexible expansion

Festo Didactic’s training packages are modular in structure. For exam-ple, you could start with the basic level of electrohydraulics and then move onto the advanced level. Or are you more interested in electropneu-matics? The choice is yours. You’d like to explore a particular special-ised topic? All equipment set compo-nents can also be ordered separate-ly, so you can turn your own ideas into reality.

Hydraulics in the mining sector

Hydraulics is one of the key-tech-nologies in mining. Numerous ap-plication underground as well as in surface mining ensure smooth and reliable operations, e.g. in loaders and dozers (mobile hydraulics), lift-ing devices, stabilizing of machinery underground and assembling of sup-port systems. Qualified maintenance is most important for safety and du-rability.

Position it – clamp it – done!With the Quick-Fix® mounting sys-tem, you can mount all components easily and securely on the profile plate or on the profile column of a Learnline workstation. The electrical units are clamped into the ER frame and sequenced individually. The sup-ports and the electrical units are the same for both hydraulics and pneu-matics – a single investment, with double the functionality.

Everything where you want it – systematic storageMost equipment sets are delivered in practical, Systainer-compatible equipment trays. This equipment tray fits in the drawers of the work-stations. The large pictogram on the components, designed in accordance with the latest standards, provides clear instructions for connecting the components and ensures short prep-aration and follow-up times. When dismantling circuits, you can quickly and easily locate where the compo-nent goes in the equipment tray.

Connect it – power!Hydraulic power is supplied by the tool-free connection of low-leakage couplings – the latest generation in high-grade stainless steel. The cou-pling is self-sealing when uncoupled. During the low-friction coupling pro-cedure, only the front surface is coat-ed with oil, which saves resources, is easy on the environment, and reduc-es contamination.

Your choice of training environmentUser-friendly training environments for specific topic areas:

– Self-study phases with the training programs

– Designing and documentation with FluidSIM®

– Practical implementation with the training packages and the exercis-es in the workbooks

– Functional testing and optimisation with measurement technology and FluidLab®

Quality not quantity!Bigger is not necessarily better. Vol-umetric flow rates and pressures should be chosen with care and in co-ordination with the system as a whole. This applies especially to hy-draulic training systems. High forc-es and cylinder speeds not only in-crease the danger for the user, but also require a larger hydraulic power pack with higher power consump-tion. So our offer is: as large as nec-essary and as small as possible, without compromising on teaching effectiveness.

New technologies – new skills neededModern measurement and diagnos-tic technology and cartridge valves are among the international trends in hydraulics. So you’ll find those tech-nologies in our learning systems as well. Benefit from the compact, inte-grated design, the low weight, ease of handling, and easy-to-read sym-bol system.

Combination with self-studyEducation in schools, companies or university cannot be successful with-out a willingness to do self-study. That is why the appropriate WBTs are available for all topics. Our range of digital training programs provides exciting learning scenarios and sup-plements the classroom-based parts of a course. The WBTs are particular-ly well suited for teaching the basic principles and thus provide the op-timum supplement to practical ex-periments.

Mobile solutionAnyone who wants to design varied teaching and personal learning con-cepts requires flexible and modular training systems. That is why most of the equipment sets from Festo Didactic are compatible with the practical and mobile Systainers. This makes storage and transportation easier and supports flexible working.

Safe connection technologyWhen it comes to dealing with elec-tricity, safety and protective meas-ures are a key focus. Of course, all of our electrical connections are fitted with safety sockets or plugs.

– The plug-in modules of the equip-ment set for the basic principles of electrical engineering/electronics

– Power supply units and power sup-plies

– Back plates and EduTrainer®

Rapid transferWhether in initial professional train-ing or more advanced courses: It is essential to be able to recall what has been learned and apply it im-mediately. This is easier to do if the worlds of learning and work are as similar as possible. That is why the training packages for electrical engi-neering only contain industrial com-ponents, and the exercises in the course documents come from a typi-cal, professional environment.

Maximum compatibilityElectrical engineering and electron-ics are fundamental components of automation. These training pack-ages can therefore be used where mechatronics or bus technology are involved.

– 4 mm safety sockets and SysLink guarantee “electrical compatibility”

– A new standard coupling ensures that motors and driven elements are universally compatible

– H-rails and housing dimensions allow components from other man-ufacturers to be used

Useful modularityThe training packages for electrical engineering training packages are expandable. For example, they begin with electrical protective measures and a domestic connection. Later, they add the starter kit for sub-distri-bution and the topic of building auto-mation. This modularity has a further benefit: each training device is small-er, more portable and can be housed in a cabinet more easily.

Single source: Equipment for electrical engineering and electrical laboratory

The learning system for automation technology is now more comprehen-sive than ever before. With the ba-sic principles of electrical engineer-ing and electronics, from Ohm’s Law through to the complex knowledge and applications involved in drive and control technology, the learning system now covers most of the top-ics included in forward-looking ba-sic and advanced training courses in automation.

– Enjoy the variability of the MPS® PA stations

– Design sophisticated projects with the PA 204 complete MPS® system or a hybrid learning factory

Learning software: Supporting every stage of learningThe ideal system for anyone focused on processes and automation: How does a filling system for lemonade work? And what needs to be taken into account when designing and constructing this kind of system?

These and other questions in the area of process automation are an-swered by the Basic principles of process automation self-study pro-gram. This could be used right at the beginning of a series of courses and provides a motivating introduction to the process industry in general schools.

Energy efficiency: Today’s issues for tomorrow’s worldControl engineering is not simply a topic in a list of learning objectives in automation technology. Without con-trol, there is no chance of increas-ing efficiency, no chance of prevent-ing energy from being wasted and no sustainability.

This is why the MPS® PA includes modern performance measurement components. This enables energy efficiency to be clearly represent-ed and put into an interdisciplinary context.

Process automation in the mining sector

Other technical core issues in mining are the distribution of water and en-ergy, storage and transportation of bulk materials under high tempera-ture differences and the preparation of ores. These kind of processes can only be mastered by skilled opera-tors and engineers well aware of the technological and environmental parameters.
