Abstract
This article objectifies the implementation of a conveyor belt in an iron ore mine. The mine operational costs of the company Vale S.A. have a tendency to increase in coming years. This increase is related to the rising price of labor, fuel, tires, maintenance costs and large transport distances. Meanwhile, environmental impacts also need to be reduced. The case study of the Fabrica mine operated by VALE in the city of Congonhas, in Minas Gerais State of Brazil, was chosen aiming for a comparative study between the employment of big trucks and the deployment of conveyor belts. The decision for the best alternative would be made by an economic analysis of the incremental cash flow. After the economic evaluation of the project, economic and environmental gains were expected for the alternative of conveyor belt deployment.
期刊介绍：
REM – International Engineering Journal (antigua REM – Revista Escola de Minas) es la primera revista técnica de Sudamérica. Fue fundada en enero de 1936 por los estudiantes de la Escuela de Minas de Ouro Preto y desde entonces se ha especializado en la publicación de artículos en las áreas de la Ingeniería Civil, Geología, Metalurgia y Materiales y, Minería y Mecánica y Energía.
Su objetivo es servir como un medio de publicación para los trabajos técnicos y científicos originales de investigadores nacionales y extranjeros en esas áreas. Contribuciones originales (artículos y cartas) son aceptadas. Artículos de revisión dependen de la invitación y/o análisis de los Editores.
El envío de artículos para su publicación implica que el trabajo no ha sido publicado previamente, que no está siendo presentado para su publicación en otra revista y no se publicará en otro lugar, en la misma forma, sin el permiso, por escrito, de los Editores/Autores.
