German term or phrase: Abraumgerät
Bei Bergbautechnik, insbesondere bei automatisierten Verfahren, besteht eine hohe Importabhängigkeit. Modernstes ***Abraumgerät*** muss zu 85% eingeführt werden. Bei Transportsystemen liegt der Importanteil bei 70%, ebenso bei Belüftungs- und Klimatechnik für die Anwendung unter Tage. Bei Nachrichtentechnik stammen 50% aus dem Ausland. Selbst bei Förderbändern liegt der Einfuhranteil bei 40%. Hauptlieferländer für Bergbautechnik sind die Ukraine, Belarus, Deutschland, die USA, die VR China, Polen und die Tschechische Republik.

The overburden is stripped with an excavator, dragline, ripper, bulldozer, grader or other earthmoving equipment, and placed in large dump trucks.

​Overburden is the natural rock and soil that sits above and around the ore body. It is not subject to any chemical processes at the mine but needs to be removed to allow access to the ore.

For every tonne of ore we mine, there are five tonnes of overburden which are moved to an area called the Overburden Emplacement Facility (OEF).

Overburden includes topsoil, clay, and a variety of rocks, each of which is stored in distinct parcels in order to reuse materials wherever possible. The OEF is designed to protect against any environmental impact.

I know "overurden" seems strange but it's mining jargon

  -> many thanks Sangeeta

disagree  Edith Kelly: no to overburden, abräumen takes place in the tunnel, and this is also apparent from the text given above. Overburden is outside the tunnel i.e. on top.
