Hard Rock

20-26 Edition 47

Features

Productive

— The Rock Straight System is designed

for a continuous cutting operation. The combined

use of the hard rock miner (cutting and loading of

the material) and the face conveyor (transporting/

moving the material) represents a system for simulta-

neous cutting and hauling — a fast and cost-effective

solution generating greater return of investment.

Efficient

— The Rock Straight System is tailored to

operate in low seam heights — it follows the seam

and maximizes the output of cut hard rock material

mined out, and leaves waste rock formation above

the low seam untouched.

Reduces Risks to Health and Safety

— The hydrauli-

cally operated hard rock miner and electrically driven

hard rock conveyor significantly improve the under-

ground climate and system carbon footprint.

Automated

— The fully automated continuous cut-

ting, loading and hauling operation optimizes the

process flow and makes hard rock cutting more effi-

cient by shortening the excavation cycle.

Safe in Operation

— Cutting of hard and highly abras-

ive rock reduces or eliminates the need for explosives

where it is used. Furthermore, a remote control oper-

ation provides optimum comfort and safety for oper-

ators, as the operator is placed in a RSPS (FOPS

equivalent) certified cabin with air conditioning. This

makes job conditions more attractive and lowers

operating cost because fewer personnel is needed

underground.

Service and Maintenance Friendly

— The modular

architecture and the compactness of its components

support a trouble-free handling. This results in short-

ened downtimes for repair, maintenance and panel

moves.
