Every project must have at least one loader, which is used to calculate truck cycle times and mining production rates. 

Loaders have a dig rate in the Calendar, and a loading time in Haul Infinity. The loading time affects the number of trucks under a digger, since it inflates or deflates the return cycle time.

Single Destination Type gives the option to send complete Dig blocks to a single destination, or multiple destinations. For more details see https://alastri.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PS1D/pages/1095041204/Misc+Optimisation+Settings#Single-Destinations .

To add a loader:

  • Go to the Setup tab > Site Lists > Loaders.

    • Press the blue plus icon to add a new Loader.

  • Go to the Setup tab > Site Lists > Loader Types.

    • Press the blue plus icon to add a new Loader Type if the model type is not already present.

  • Go to the Setup tab > Loaders.

    • Select the applicable ‘Loader Type’ for the loader.

    • Select what trucks can be loaded by the loader.

The Loader Type list is populated from the Site Lists > Loader Types. These Loader Types must match those used in Haul Infinity.

You can use multi-select to quickly apply the same configuration across multiple loaders.
