HEAVY UNDERGROUND EQUIPMENT
Get ready to elevate your productivity and profitability with our superior machinery. Below are some of the underground mining tools that are available:
CRANE LIFTS
Crane lifts are mining machines can be used to load explosives and carry other heavy loads and mining equipment.
CONTINUOUS MINERS
Continuous miners are a type of mining equipment used in room and pillar mining, and have a large rotating drum with carbide teeth to scrape coal from seams. They feature conveyor belts that transport coal, making this an automated process that is controlled remotely.
UNDERGROUND MINING DRONES
Underground mining drones are used for visual inspections in stopes, ore passes, ventilation shafts, conveyor belts, and other areas of an underground mine. They allow inspections to be conducted in areas that are unsafe for humans to enter. All the mining drones we supply operate without a GPS, making them extremely functional in an underground mine.
MINING DRILLS
Jumbo drills or mining drills are used to drill holes for explosives or to create mine shafts for miners to enter.
LOADERS & HAULERS
Loaders and haulers are a compact and maneuverable type of equipment used in underground mining, which are designed specifically for underground work. They are used to load and haul away minerals
LONGWALL MINING MACHINES
Longwall mining machines are commonly used in coal mining and are used to build underground galleries and tunnels by leveraging the machine’s shearing capabilities.
SCOOPS
Scoops are used in room and pillar mining to load minerals onto trucks in an underground mine.
SHOTCRETE MACHINES
Shotcrete machines spray concrete along mine tunnel walls and ceilings to reinforce the structural integrity of a mine shaft or tunnel.
ROOF BOLTERS
Roof bolters secure the ceiling of the mine with safety jacks to help prevent cave-ins.
VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilations systems are crucial for workers to be present in the mines due to the noxious nature of coal and, specifically, coal dust. These systems are used to provide clean air for workers and regulate temperatures underground.
UNDERGROUND RAILS
Underground rails haul miners and materials in and out of a mine.
Other utilities & supplies also include but not limited to:
- Vehicle Personnel: Used to transport miners and their supplies down a shaft to the underground mine.
- Conveyor Belts: Used to pile bulk materials onto a stockpile and can also carry oversized material to a tailings pile.
- Refuge Chambers: Stand-alone safety chambers for miners that are equipped with oxygen, food, water, and sanitary necessities in case of an emergency.
- Rock Dusters: Rock dusters are essential to preventing mining shafts from combusting. Dusters apply inert dust, or dust with a small amount of combustible materials, to counter the coal dust. This process is especially important when planned explosions are taking place.
