The arms rotate in opposite directions to assist in gathering up the cuttings for the central conveyor. The cutting height is between 38 and 48 in. The crawler tracks provide a continuous thrust on the picks and a cutting rate of about 4 in./min. is possible. 4, record 3, English, - Colmol%20miner

Joy presently offers both the chain ripper miners and the rotary drum head-type miners introduced in 1968.... The rotary drum miner... sumps into the coal face at the top of the seam. When the predetermined sumping distance is reached, the head moves downwards breaking out the coal as it progresses. Gathering arms on the loader sweep the fallen coal from the floor on to the chain conveyor where it is carried through the throat of the machine to the rear end of the miner. 1, record 4, English, - rotary%20drum%20head%2Dtype%20miner
