Coal production from the 36 longwall faces represented % of the 597 million tons of coal produced in the last year. Last year, two longwall mines ceased production and one new mine will start production later this year. The total number of faces dropped from 37 to 36 and the total number of longwall mines declined from 33 to 32.

Longwall mining machines are about 800 feet (240 meters) in width and 5 to 10 feet ( to 3 meters) tall. Longwall miners extract "panels" rectangular blocks of coal as wide as the mining machinery and as long as 12,000 feet (3,650 meters). Massive shearers cut coal from a wall face, which falls onto a conveyor belt for removal.

Longwall Mechanization Shearer. Shearer refers to a type of mining equipment used for cutting or shearing coal, ore, or rock in underground mining operations. It is primarily employed in longwall mining, where a long wall of coal or mineral is extracted in a continuous shearer consists of several key parts that work together to carry out the cutting and extraction process.

Cutting Machines Shearers. Shearers are by far the most commonly used cutting machines, both in Australia and overseas. A shearer consists of a machine body containing electric motors, hydraulic equipment and controls which is mounted over the AFC. Horizontal cutting drums are mounted on the face side of the machine, laced with cutting picks ...

As the cutting machine cuts the ore from the longwall face, a continuously moving armored conveyor transports slices of the ore to the drifts, and then the slices are transferred out of the mine. The above process is mainly for soft rocks, such as coal, salt, etc. For hard rocks, such as gold, we cut them by drilling and blasting.

Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically m (2 ft 0 in 19 ft 8 in) thick). The section of rock that is being mined, known as the longwall panel, is typically 34 km ( mi) long, but can be up to km ( mi) long and 250400 m (8201,310 ft) wide. History

Developing longwall mining under weak geological conditions imposes a substantial challenge with regard to the higher risk of falling roofs. Maintaining the stability of the longwall face in this aforementioned condition is crucial for smooth operation. Investigating roof conditions in longwall requires detailed study of rock behavior in response to a few key influences.
