Longwall Systems Together with our customers we design, develop and manufacture complete longwall installations. We apply our own state-of-the-art product range, like AFCs, Beam Stage Loaders, Powered Roof Supports, Energy Distribution solutions, Automation systems and integrate components from selected partners and suppliers.
Longwall mining systems are capable of producing significant outputs from a single longwall face 8 million tones per annum or more. When operating correctly the coal is mined in a systematic, relatively continuous and repetitive process which is ideal for strata control and for associated mining operations
Our Mining Systems offer cost-effective solutions for a wide range of underground mine and tunnel applications, including: Rib Control (Tensar ® TX and BX Mining Grid) Roof Control (Tensar TX and Tensar ® UX3340 Roof Mats) Longwall Screens (Minex™ Rock Mesh) Highwall Screens (Tensar TX Mining
Introduction to Longwall Mining Engineering Systems. Longwall mining is one of the widely used coal extraction methods that involve the use of several sophisticated types of machinery to mine: a continuous seam of coal block which can be up to 450m wide and 7km long.
HOMOTROPAL SYSTEM. In particularly dusty mines, the amount of dust in the mine atmosphere can be reduced by directing the air to flow in the same direction that the coal is being transported along the longwall face. This system is known as homotropal ventilation. The advantages of this system are: The intake air at the face is cleaner

Powered roof supports are the essential to mining systems based on longwall systems. Since the beginning of the 1970s 200,000 supports branded FAZOS and GLINIK (the brands now owned by the FAMUR Group) were made. This equipment is designed to be operated with all face mining technologies used in the modern mining industry (not just coal mining
2017-05-11· Caterpillar Global Mining returns to Longwall USA with digital displays of its complete line of longwall products—roof supports, shearers, plows, face conveyors, stage loaders, drive systems and
2017-11-06· FAMUR longwall systems are designed to operate in thin, medium and high-coal seams (1m-6m thick). A distinguishing feature of our products is the combination of machines and advanced IT solutions into one consistent system. FAMUR manufactures both
Becker Mining Systems demonstrated the possibilities of a modern longwall system that has been delivered to the Budryk mine of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa (JSW). One of the most modern longwall complexes was produced by Becker Warkop Sp.z.o.o. in Poland. It will work in the Budryk mine owned by Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa (JSW) which is
In underground mining, a water treatment system is a logical and reasonable addition to a longwall hydraulics system. The aim of every mine is to achieve the most effective operation, while keeping lifecycle costs as low as possible. The compact design of the water treatment system
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 mining was limited by the type of coal to be cut. With Cat, this is no longer the case. Advancements in drive, control and transmission systems with more powerful motors, stronger plow chains, increased plow speeds, higher advancing force provided by the roof supports, precise control of the cutting depth, and plow
2009-10-01· To develop durable noise controls that reduce the noise exposure of longwall mining system crews and facilitate the commercialization of the controls to make them available for all miners. This project had four research aims, as follows: Identified and ranked dominant noise sources on longwall
At APCOM 2019 in Wroclaw, Komatsu’s Willem Fourie outlined the company’s vision and reality for the digital mine ecosystem. The latter part of the 20th century witnessed the speeding up of the move to the 4th Industrial Revolution with Komatsu Mining Corporation (KMC) and its customer mining companies using machine learning and deep learning to support longwall systems.
Caterpillar will supply a complete longwall mining system to Moolarben Coal Operations Pty Ltd, which operates the Moolarben Coal Complex on behalf of a joint venture. The complex covers 11,000ha (110km2) in the western coalfields of New South Wales, Australia. The site includes an underground thermal coal development project as well as an open cut mine that produces export-quality thermal coal.
