Stress/Strata Control Along the Longwall Face. Along the face, the roof control function is a matter of providing sufficient resistance to control the dead load of the mass of strata which is breaking, or has broken, away from the bulk of the overlying strata.

TWOLEG LONGWALL SHIELD MECHANICS By Thomas M. Barczak,1 and David E. Schwemmer2 ABSTRACT This Bureau of Mines report investigates shield mechanics by describing the elastic response and in teraction of shield components to applied vertical and horizontal displacements for various canopy and base contact configurations.
Support legs are often multistage legs to allow additional travel. Support widths vary, mostly between and 2m. Note that as a chock is made wider the load/metre run along the face which can be applied to the roof reduces for a given leg capacity. Also the wider a support, the heavier it becomes and more difficult to handle.
Leg Pressure at the time of Local Fall at a Distance of 15 m 28 ... This study is focused on behavior of shield support in longwall mining and shall concentrate to evaluate on the following areas: To study the shield behavior in a underground longwall coal mine
A. Abutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled packs behind the face.
Longwall systems have their own hydraulic roof supports which advance with the machine as mining progresses. As the longwall mining equipment moves forward, overlying rock that is no longer supported by coal is allowed to fall behind the operation in a controlled manner. The supports make possible high levels of production and safety.
Longwall Longwall mining accounts for about 50 percent of underground production and has a 60100 percent coal recovery rate. Parker components and systems can be found on the main shearer, pan line, conveyors and the hydraulic roof supports. From supplicated machine
proven in use design, Joy Mining was able to demonstrate that the objectives of the standard have been met. The results of the Functional Safety Assessment can be summarizedas : The Joy MiningPOCV, Dump Valve System, and Yield Valve were found to meet the Systematic Capability requirements of IEC 61508 for up to SC 2 (SIL 2 Capable).

The longwall method is currently the safest and most productive for mining coal underground. For a longwall face to reach its full potential, stable gate entries must be maintained. Effective pillar design is often the single most important step a longwall operator can take to protect the gate entries.
Longwall Mining. Longwall mining is a highextraction mining method. Roomandpillar mining methods are used to isolate a rectangular panel of coal which is then completely extracted by an automated cutting head (shearer) that moves along a track parallel to the working coal face.
component of its power hydraulics and determines a level of longwall''s support capacity and safety. A hydraulic leg is an actuator of double acting type, however, the basic range of work includes compression (support). Selection of its technical parameters for specific mining and geological conditions is extremely
Technological advancements continue to push the limits of surface and underground mining. From increasing leg bore cylinder diameters and cutting heights, to maximizing the rate at which longwall shearers operate, productivity and efficiency are paramount to .

The RUD longwall system is carefully designed for the most effective combination of chains, drive wheels, flight bars and connectors to achieve maximum service life. This longwall mining system results in precisely callibrated continiuous chain loops for AFC''s.
LONGWALL SUPPORT CYLINDER LEG FAILURE Dangerously high hydraulic pressure on a longwall roof support leg caused a hydraulic cylinder to split. No one was hurt but the incident could have caused a death. CIRCUMSTANCES The operator was operating a four leg longwall roof support and noticed oil leaking from the leg cylinder.
Longwall mining is a highly productive underground coal mining technique. Longwall mining machines consist of multiple coal shearers mounted on a series of selfadvancing hydraulic ceiling supports. The entire process is mechanized. Longwall mining machines are about 800 feet (240 meters) in width and 5 to 10 feet ( to 3 meters) tall.
