OF THE WORLD ABOUT LONGWALL MINING

LONGWALL SYSTEMS- POWERED ROOF SUPPORT

 

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). It meets the relevant safety requirements, as well as detailed criteria of European and world standards and mining regulations. Famur line supports are custom-designed as requested by the customer, using the latest design tools (3D techniques and FEM).

Each support design is tested for durability in accredited laboratories, which is evidenced by a certificate.

 

LONGWALL SYSTEM-SHEARER LOADERS

FS 200, FS 300, FS 400, FS 800, FS 400, FS 400, KGS-245N, KGS-600 etc. Shearer Loaders are new generation shearer loaders designed to work with any conveyor with Eicotrack, Megatrac® or Gigatrack feeding systems. The design of the supply system provides different cutting heights without changing the walking frame. The shearers are compatible with universal breakers and can be mounted on the left or right side.

The FAMAC OPTI control system has full diagnostics and an expanded radio remote control extended version; this standard e-mine system ensures complete monitoring of machine technical data from above.
