Abstract
The apparatus includes: a platform (20) movable along generally a longitudinal direction of an ore pass; a controllable propulsion unit (30) capable of propelling the platform within the ore pass and to the location of the hang-up; an imaging unit (40) capable of generating an image of the ore pass as the apparatus is moved through the ore pass, wherein the image is transmittable to a remote viewer, extensible, remotely controllable immobilizing units (50) affixed to the platform; and a remotely controllable unit (160) for clearing the ore pass hang-up. Once in place the apparatus is used to break up or clear the hang-up. Techniques for clearing the hang-up include, for example, directing blows to the hang-up, directing blows to the hang-up, directing high pressure fluids to the hang-up, and using an explosive charge (164). The present system allows an operator located at a remote and safe distance from the ore pass to place the apparatus in the proper position relative to the hang-up and to clear the hang-up.
