Automation of bunker loading

Abstract

The introduction of automation into the main and auxiliary production processes is currently the most important direction of further development of mechanization of the Soviet mining industry. The workers engaged in this issue face two main tasks: 1) wide introduction into production of the achievements already available in this field, tested by the practice of work of individual enterprises; 2) finding ways to further expand the scope of application of automated methods of work and improve the equipment used for this purpose. Transfer to automatic operation of various still unautomated units of the complex of electromechanical equipment of mines requires solving a number of problems associated with the creation of special types of equipment, schemes and equipment for automatic control, monitoring and regulation. It is possible to automate in principle the operation of almost all mine mechanical installations, but the automation of some of them is achieved relatively easily, and others, even well-proven under conventional non-automatic methods of operation, - only with the use of very complex schemes and a large number of additional equipment and control equipment.
