Ways and prospects of mine transportation development in coal industry

Abstract

The task of integrated mechanization of coal excavation at coal mines still remains unsolved. Moreover, not everyone clearly and clearly understands what should be meant by integrated mechanization. Often the concept of integrated mechanization is substituted by the concept of continuous or complete mechanization. However, continuous or complete mechanization means the use of mechanization in all parts of the production process, integrated mechanization should be called such an organization of the production process, in which the work of all parts, and therefore the entire mine as a whole is subject to the rhythm of the main mining machines, the rhythm of machines and mechanisms working in the faces. Only then will provide the greatest efficiency of mining machines - their highest productivity, their best use. What rhythm of work of downhole machines should be considered as the guiding one, what should be considered as the main and most promising in the work of mining machines. In the coal mining industry for a long time for the production of cutting are used cutting machines, for stripping of coal - blasting, and piling of coal on the conveyor until recently was carried out manually. Specially designed for coal loading machines did not justify their purpose. For joint mechanization of cutting, stripping and piling operations mining harvesters - the first mechanisms of complex mechanization - were created.
