The KSW-800NE is designed for two-way mechanical cutting and loading coal in a longwall mining system. The shearer is carried along the length of the face on the armoured face conveyor and AFC panline is 850 to 1100 mm wide. It operates in Eicotrack (pitch 125, 126) or Jumbotrack (pitch 147) chainless haulage system.
The shearer has a compact, self-supporting structure that enables operation in longwall systems of high performance with high technical parameters. Stepless height cutting adjustment enables mining operations in coal seams of varied thickness. It is adapted to longwall mining operations in seams inclined up to 35° longitudinally and up to 20° transversely.
The KSW-800NE meets requirements of new approach directives that make it suitable for use in coal seams with methane and coal dust explosion hazards.
