553 6. STRATEGIC IMPACT OF THE MODULAR MODEL This work validates the deployment of modular stations on skid bases, achieving a 28% reduction in implementation time and a mechanical assembly of 12 days per unit. The main contribution is the neutralization of lamellar morphology through secondary crushing (from 430 mm to 150 mm), mitigating damage to the long distance conveyor. With a capacity of 2,200 t/h, the results support the viability of relocatable infrastructures that guarantee operational continuity and asset circularity without dependence on permanent concrete foundations. 7. METHODOLOGY AND ENGINEERING APPROACH 7.1 Modularization The crushing, screening, and transport stations were designed as semi-mobile units on skid-type metallic chassis. This modular architecture (Figure 2) allows independent components to be integrated into autonomous modules to form the complete operational unit, facilitating its deployment and mobility. Conformed for n Screening module, Crushing module, Skid-type base module divided into three parts and Access module. Figure 2 - Station on skid-type base: screening module (green), crushing module (blue), access module (yellow), and skid-type base module (red). The design included nine modular conveyors (three per line, Figure 3) structured in sections through bolted or welded connections. This architecture optimizes conventional transport logistics and minimizes field welds. By employing bolted joints, the need for non-destructive testing on-site was eliminated, increasing assembly efficiency and reducing final configuration times. • Front module: Module composed of the discharge structure (head), trusses with idlers, guards, walkways, and miscellaneous items (for conveyors longer than thirty meters). • Rear module: Module composed of the return structure, trusses with idlers, guards, walkways, and miscellaneous items (for conveyors longer than thirty meters). • Support module: Module composed of the discharge and return structure, trusses with idlers, guards, walkways, and miscellaneous items (for conveyors shorter than thirty meters). • Skid base modules: Skid-type base modules, supplied as individual units.
