Surface Miners

Constructed especially for the tough operating conditions encountered in open cast mining, Surface Miners extract primary resources such as coal, gypsum, rock salt, phosphate, bauxite, or limestone with unconfined compressive strengths of up to 80 MPa with high purity and maximized exploitation of deposits. Centrally-located underneath the machine, the cutting drum can be customized to meet each customer’s specific needs. The extracted material can be deposited behind the machine in windrows, sidecast with the machine’s integrated discharge conveyor, or loaded directly onto trucks for transportation off site. Surface mining can be carried on a small scale in quarries with restricted space or in continuous operation (24/7) on large-scale open cast mining sites.
