Longwall shearers for exploiting thin coal seams as well as thin and highly inclined coal seams
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Bołoz, Łukasz
Due to a number of advantages, mechanized longwall systems are applied to exploit seams characterized by a wide range of thicknesses. In the case of thin seams as well as thin and highly inclined ones, there are numerous solutions for longwall shearers that allow for the exploitation of coal seams with a minimum thickness of 0.4 m and a gradient of up to 85°. The article focuses on longwall systems designed for such seam mining. The most important assumptions and advantages of longwall exploitation are presented, and mining machines that are key elements of mechanized longwall systems are discussed. Attention has also been drawn to the various solutions of shearers that are currently used on the domestic market. A wide range of available solutions allowed for distinguishing and presenting ten types of shearers.

The efficiency of a bolter miner - requirements and constraints
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Korski, Jacek
This paper presents an analysis of the requirements and constraints concerning the efficiency of the application of coal roadway development systems with bolt roof supports by means of specialized mining, loading and bolting machines. In some cases, machines of this type can achieve very good roadway development results measured with the daily/weekly/monthly advancing of the face. An attempt was made to indicate the requirements to be met in order to achieve the expected results, as well as the factors limiting the obtained results of gateroad development operations.
