Punch mining system

Punch mining system consisting of continuous miner and continuous straight line conveyor system. System demonstrates the principle of extremely fast straight line mining coupled with the flexibility of rapid re-covering of the system. All necessary conveyor belt, conveyor structure and stringers are stored inside machine for rapid advance and retreat action. The system is capable of getting relocated around corners via its onboard hydraulic and track system. Short straight distances (punches) are up to 200 metres in length and can be cut/mined within a period of two 8-hour shifts.
