The large-scale mining of shallow coal seams has a significant impact on the overlying aquifers and surface ecological environment. To protect the aquifers and maximize the coal resource recovery, field trials were undertaken during the operation of the LW32201 in Bulianta coal mine, Shendong, China. With a severely weathered rock …

Creating value through manufacturing and technology innovation to empower a sustainable future where people, businesses and our planet thrive together

Since the early 1980s, longwall mining has developed into the safest, highest producing and most productive form of underground coal mining, rivalling the performance of many surface mining operations. In Australia, for example, advances in technology, geotechnical engineering and work practices over that period have resulted …

After being closed since July 1999, mining operations finally resumed in March at the Oaky North mine in central Queensland. The longwall was buried for nearly eight months after the roof started to collapse and floor conditions deteriorated. In a recovery operation believed to a be a world first, MIM Holdings used a dragline to dig out …

The family of Programmable Mining Controls (PMC) offers state-of-the-art microcontroller technology and increased computing power allowing a completely new dimension of longwall automation. Mining Controls …

The continued occurrence of CWP in underground coal mine workers and the magnitude of respirable dust overexposures in longwall mining occupations illustrate the need for NIOSH and the mining industry to improve existing dust control technology on longwalls.

8.4.2c Longwall Mining. Longwall mining applies to thin, bedded deposits, with uniform thickness and large horizontal extension. Typical deposits are coal seams, potash layers or conglomerates, trona, and gold reefs. Longwalls are found in nearly horizontal deposits of coal and trona, whereas in metal/nonmetal deposits, a steeper dip is tolerated.

Joy Mining has reported the successful installation of a longwall system at the FMC Westvaco soda ash mine in Wyoming, US. The mine produces 4.6Mt/y of trona which is converted to soda ash.

A coal mine located in southern West ia (USA) recently set another world record for daily low-seam coal production using a ® automated longwall plow system.

In July 2014 will deliver the first of two complete longwall mining systems to the Soma Eynez East mine of the Demir Export-Fernas Insaat joint venture. Both longwall systems are designed for longwall top coal caving (LTCC) in a coal seam with an average thickness of 25 m. states that it is the leading supplier for the coal producing …

The smart connected products of a KMC longwall system include a Joy shearing machine, armoured face conveyor (AFC), roof supports, stageloader, crusher, …

The longwall top coal caving (LTCC) mining method to be employed at the Eynez East underground coal mine is a special type of longwall mining applicable to seams thicker than 6 meters (20 feet).

Longwall mining applies to thin, bedded deposits, with uniform thickness and large horizontal extension. Typical deposits are coal seams, potash layers or conglomerates, trona, and gold reefs. Longwalls are found in nearly horizontal deposits of coal and trona, whereas in metal/nonmetal deposits, a steeper dip is t…

In longwall mining, the longwall shearer does the same job, cutting and loading the coal onto a face conveyor on which it rides. The introduction of modern longwall mining in the United States is comparatively more recent, about 60 years ago.

Dust control in coal mines is assessed based on best practices in Longwall mining, Continuous mining and Surface mining operations.

A coal mine located in southern West ia (USA) recently set a world record for daily low-seam coal production using a ® Automated Longwall Plow System. In a 24-hour period from August 30 …

Energy. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.

Longwall crushers are compatible and work with various types of armoured face conveyors. They are intended for the pre-crushing of large lumps of excavated material transported by the armoured face conveyor. Fragmentation of the excavated material to the required size prevents it from blocking in the area of transfer from the face conveyor …

Mine planning, particularly deep underground coal mining by mechanized longwall mining, requires a thorough understanding of the geotechnical parameters of the coal measures strata. The understanding of geotechnical parameters is an invariable part of the integrated mine planning approach.

Surface mining equipment. Levstal offers a broad range of surface mining units ranging from drills and bulldozers up to huge trucks and loaders, we supply all …

The technology of coal mining has gone through continual evolutions and several revolutionary changes which transformed the methods, equipment, and productivity over the decades. In recent years, advances in technology focused more on the use of communication systems, automation, and data sciences for the health and safety of the …
