T-2804 LONGWALL FACE LENGTH SELECTION

Conveyor (AFC) is identified as an upper constraint on longwall face length; a lower constraint on longwall face length is found to be geotechnical in nature. Subsequently, the development of a retreating longwall model for flat­ lying coal seams greater than 60 inches thick is discussed. The effects of seam height, number of development entries,

Wills on Walls: Dealing with the AFC creep

The causes of AFC creep. There are several contributing factors: 1. Gradient: if the longwall is on an incline across the face, then gravity will pull the AFC downhill; 2. Snaking of the AFC: the simple action of advancing the AFC from one end to the other induces a "snaking motion".

Coal mining

In the longwall mining method, mine development is carried out in such a manner that large blocks of coal, usually 100 to 300 metres wide and 1,000 to 3,000 metres long, are available for complete extraction (see photograph).A block of coal is extracted in slices, the dimensions of which are fixed by the height of coal extracted, the width of the …

Factors Considered for Increasing Longwall Panel Width

Table 2—AFC Design Calculation Note: H = headgate, T = tailgate; volume capacity of the AFC is approx. 2,500 tph. The productivity of the longwall with wider faces improves because a higher percentage of time is spent mining, and a reduced amount of time is spent in the wedge cuts at each gate end of the face.
