Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7212341
Phase III is in two volumes. Volume I provides the concepts for two automated longwall mining systems; one for operation in a 42- to 57-inch thick section of the Lower Kittanning seam, the other in a 57- to 72-inch thick section of the Pittsburgh seam. One concept uses a single-drum bidirectional shearer and 500-ton chocks, the other uses a double-drum shearer with 500-ton shields. Each concept is designed to produce in excess of 2,500 tons of coal per 6-man face crew shift.
