The mechanised method of longwall mining was first introduced to Australia in 1963 and currently (2005)there are 27 longwall faces operating in Australia. Production from Australia's longwall faces represented 18% of Australia's raw black coal production of 398 million tonnes in 2005. This percentage accounts to 89% of Australia's total ...
Former longwall business sold to Hauhinco finally emerges as HBT. Posted by Paul Moore on 9th February 2023.

2. Geomechanical conditions2.1. Natural conditions. In order to verify the rock-mass stress state and its changes induced by longwall mining and destress blasting, the monitoring of changes in rock-mass stress in connection with the mining out of longwall face no. 140 704 of coal seam no. 40 was suggested.The concerned longwall is situated …
Many of our longwall moves are simple walk-across moves. Sometimes, we have to set 100 to 150 shields. If a face has 240 shields, only setting 100 or 150 shields makes the move easier." They move the longwall with diesel-powered equipment. "It eliminates trolley wires and the risk of batteries grounding out," Brock said.
The mining of coal seams will inevitably lead to the fracture of overburden. Traditional water-retaining methods (fill mining, strip mining, height-limited mining, etc.) [23], [29] avoid the development of a water-conducting fracture zone in the longwall face to aquifers by increasing the support capacity of the goaf. However, the specific water …
More U.S. longwall operators embrace automation technology to improve horizon control By Steve Fiscor, Editor-in-Chief America's longwall mines produced 133.1 million tons in 2023, which was down 3.1% from 137.3 million tons in 2022. Much of the decrease can be attributed to the loss of production from two mines that are no longer …
Although fully automated, plow longwall never caught on in the U.S. and U.S. has little contribution in the development of automated plow longwall mining, and due to small market demand, the plow system at Mine 50 has few improvements over the last 3 decades, except larger plow power and speed, and higher reliability.
Longwall mining is an underground coal extraction method based on a systematic removal of discrete coal seams in a series of panels that move through the coal deposit. These panels are extracted ...

A staple retainer developed by Bucyrus Australia enhances longwall safety. Staples are commonly used to secure fittings in high-pressure fluid power systems of longwall mining equipment. The failure of a staple can cause a hose or fitting to fail or break loose, with the potential to cause serious injury and even death.
A special feature of the 146 Bucyrus roof supports is that they can be retrofitted for Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) at a later date. Located in the Gunnedah Basin of New South Wales, Australia, the mine will take delivery of the system next October, with operations expected to start in Early 2011, subject to Stage 2 planning approvals …
