Shearers are more eliictent than ploughs m seams of medium to hard workabdRy, but are less desirable m terms of fines content, dirt content, and dust make Developments in p~ck and drum design to overcome these drawbacks are desenbed Systemauc choice of size and shape of p~ck and peck material to reduce the number of pecks on standard drums, the use large product drums and, m future, disc drums are described, together wRh improvements m loading technology
Present work at the Colorado School of Mmes Earth Mechanics InstRute ts reviewed Work desenbed mcludes laboratory testmg of hnear cuttmg, water jet assisted cuttmg, and rotary cuttmg, computer modelhng of cutterhead design, and machme control and automation This work ts primarily aimed at tmprovmg the performance of tunnel, raise and shaft bonng machmes

881265 Continuous mining and automation in hard rock: there stems to be a need for a little R and D Ntelsen, K
The Hydro-Dynamlc-Techmc (HDT) bucket which has been under development m Germany smce 1981 ts desenbed It has the abdlty to tear hard. difficult overburdens which would otherwise reqmre Ioosenmg by blastmg or the use of a much larger convenUonai excavator Despite Rs high mtttai cost. it may be wable because of production gams or removal of the blastmg stage of overburden stripping
Modern hard rock taming ts highly mechantsed, but automation ts made difficult because of uncontrolled fragmentation m stope blastmg Mechamcal breakage produces regular sized fragments, but current tunnel or raise bonng technology ts too mefficsent to be economic Further improvements are possible here, and also m the field of controlled blastmg technology to produce more even fragmentation If these processes can be Improved sufficiently, hard rock mmmg with continuous ore flow, stmdar to present coal mmmg. may be possible

World Min Equip VII. N7. July 1987. P!8-21 The development of a mobde tamer suitable for cuttmg a stogie conveyor headmg m hard rock ts desenbed The machme ts crawler mounted and part roadheader, part TBM, and part face support umt in appearance It was used to cut a dechne m rock 70% very hard. abrasive quartzRes and 30% chlonuc schists and carbonaceous shales Performance, cutter wear, dust control and design modtficatmn are desenbed It ts concluded that the mobde mmer can prowde a reasonable alternative to drill and blast with particular advantages m terms of ground support reqmrement and smooth air flow
