2021-4-22 This piece of equipment is typically used in coal mining to extract coal from exposed horizontal seams in open-pit mines. Highwall miners are mobile and are frequently used after other extraction methods have reached their limits in what can be obtained. Highwall miners primarily work by cutting into the seams on the ground using a cutterhead.

MINE SERVICES. Electric Power. The majority of Australian coal mines have power supplied by another entity to a surface substation on site. Power is fed through switchgear to main feeder(s) to required locations around the surface and to underground, at most modern mines at 11kV (even higher at new mines).

Ventilation Equipment. Clarks Mining Services manufacture ventilation products for use in underground coal mines, civil construction and hard rock mines. Two different styles of products are available. The ventilation fan uses compressed air to operated the fan blades or the fan motor to rotate the impeller to generate air flow and suction.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing mechanical mining processes in bituminous coal mines. As stated in the introduction, "this is the sixth of a series of publications that describe methods and practices in mining coal mechanically" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.
2012-11-14 In the eastern United States, coal is often mined underground, where risks of gas buildup cannot be tolerated. In the western United States, more coal is strip mined. Water use in coal mining varies according to the method of mining, the equipment used, and the availability of water. Underground coal mines in West Virginia rely on the use of water
