Nature Inspired Mining Technique – Xcentric Ripper
Mining is pivotal to procuring quality raw materials to produce cement and other related products. The techniques used in mining often have an adverse impact on the environment and the quality of living conditions in the surrounding areas. We at Ramco Cements, adopted the Xcentric ripper device, an innovative solution that not only mitigates the effects of traditional mining on the environment but also reduces the impact on living conditions in the areas surrounding the mining operations.

Challenges
01
Conventional mining methods causes environmental damage at the mining location
02
The traditional techniques results in loud noise and fine dust settlement
03
The vibration and mild tremors caused during the process affects the surrounding areas
Impact
The Xcentric Ripper mimics the operational principle of a woodpecker to cut through a hard surface. The device attached to hydraulic excavator was first introduced at the Ariyalur and Alathiyur mining sites, and has since been extensively used in the limestone mining process. This had had visible positive impact, which is listed below:
01
Drastic reduction in drilling and blasting at the mining location
02
Reduction in noise pollution and dust settlement
03
Reduced impact on the environment and the surrounding locations
