Running-Out

 

the transfer of ore from a working space or accumulation reservoir of a mine under the action of gravity. Running-out in dump cars, automatic dumpers, and conveyors is done on so-called runout structures. The moistness and granulometric composition of the ore, as well as the construction parameters of the runout equipment, influence the intensity of the process.
