• Fill Factor is the percent of total capacity of the bucket that is actually
filled during each pass in to the muckpile. Coarse, poorly blasted ore
usually gives a low fill factor. Finer ore and relatively smooth bottom
will give a high fill factor.
• Actual Bucket Capacity = Bucket size x Fill factor
• Production Utilisation = overall job efficiency x mechanical
availability x annual outage factor
• Employing 75% overall job efficiency, 85% mechanical availability
and 95% annual outage factor, the Production Utilisation is 60.6%
