If the extracted material feeds into conveyors after passing through the crusher, the haulage system is termed a fully-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (FMIPCC) system. Similarly, if the conveyor belt is fed by trucks, the haulage system is a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (SMIPCC) system (Frizzell and Martin, 1992).
