Abstract:Deep mine hoisting system has played an important role in mining, as more and more deep mines being explored at home and abroad. This paper compared the schemes of deep mine hoisting system in a mine in South Africa. The schemes were compared from the aspects of capital cost, power consumption during production and wire rope consumption. With the late operating cost being discounted, the cost present value method was used to make a comprehensive comparison. Finally, combined with the results of SWOT analysis and cost present value analysis, the optimal scheme was selected.
