UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 2, 2019. EVRAZ Holding’s Raspadskaya Coal Company purchased five new mining vehicles, spending more than RUB 300m. The company bought two self-propelled Petitto Mule units and three Sandvik fixtures, Raspadskaya’s press service reports.
Petitto Mule’s SP units got successfully tested at Raspadskaya Mine during Coalface 5а-7-32 face transfer. In September, workers at the Equipment Assembly/Dismantling/Repair Department learned how to operate Sandvik LS190s units in the course of a workshop conducted by a Sandvik engineer who works with explosion-proof load-haul-dump machines, the press service says.
The coalface equipment will now get transferred from place to place with the help of a new technology. Large pieces will travel via a surface road rather than via an overhead monorail, which is both safer and faster: it takes twice as little time to get the equipment relocated and reassembled.
An underground motor road got built at Raspadskaya Mine’s Windway 4-6-37 for the purpose. The vehicles will get delivered down into the mine in November and will be used for the transfer from Coalface 4-6-33 to Coalface 4-6-35.
Next year, the appliances will also be used for face transfer of Coalface 3-2-1bis at Raspadskaya-Koksovaya Mine.
