MINE STEEL [11 records]

Record 1 2016-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ore Extraction and Transport
DEF

Robustly constructed steel, wooden, or concrete structure which receives intermittent supplies of mined ore and can transfer them continuously by rate-controlled withdrawal systems(bottom gates and ore feeders) to the treatment plant. Thus a buffer stock is held which allows the mine to hoist ore intermittently without bringing milling operations to a standstill.

PHR

Coarse, fine ore bin.

CONT

The Petrogen® Liquid Fuel Cutting System is a solid, proven technology that brings you unequally safety, performance, and cost savings. Petrogen makes cuts that are impossible with any other torch, incredibly fast and clean with less airborne contaminants. Petrogen cuts up to 14 inches of steel. The powerful flame easily cuts through layers and across air gaps, through rust, paint, even concrete-backed steel without popping. Petrogen fuel is regular liquid gasoline, kept liquid from the tank to the tip. The Petrogen System is much safer than compressed gas systems such as acetylene or propane. Fuel line backflash is impossible! Many built-in safety features provide the safest cutting torch made. [Text followed by an illustration.]

OBS

The oxy-gasoline torch is a viable alternative to the oxy-acetylene torch for the dismantlement and size-reduction of metallic D&D debris.... Petrogen® is a new and better way to cut steel. It's a solid, proven technology that delivers every advantage over other oxy-fuel systems.... Among our strongest markets are those whose jobs are safety : Urban Search & Rescue Teams, Fire/Rescue, Mine rescue, Dept. of Energy nuclear demolition contractors and many others.

Subject field(s)
  • Continuous Handling
  • Underground Mining
  • Ore Extraction and Transport
DEF

The structure used in a mine shaft for the conveyance of men and materials.

CONT

The approximate weight of a steel cage is 1 1/2 times that of the coal it carries, or about equal to the weight of the coal and the mine cars. Cages are usually designed to take one or two cars per deck and may be single or multi-decked. Where multidecked cages are used, simultaneous or consecutive discharge of decks can be employed. The modern trend is towards consecutive decking with power-operated cage unloading equipment. Cages can be either steel, composite or all-alloy construction. An all-alloy cage is about half the weight of its all-steel equivalent. The cage is suspended from bridle chains which in turn are attached to the cappel of the winding rope. Normally there are two cages in simultaneous operation in the shaft and travelling in opposite directions.

Record 10 1999-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
DEF

A prop consisting of two telescoping steel cylinders which are extended by hydraulic pressure which may be provided by a hand-operated pump built into the prop. The prop holds about half a gallon of mineral oil and is fitted with a yield valve which relieves the pressure when the load exceeds that for which the prop is set. An hydraulic prop enables quicker setting, uniform initial loading and it can be withdrawn from a remote, safe position. The year 1947 saw the first hydraulic prop in a British coal mine-today there are more than one million in use.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage et équipement (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Dans un étançon hydraulique, l'ensemble des deux cylindres constitue un vérin hydraulique, qui est relié par une tuyauterie à une centrale hydraulique. La pression de pose (lors de la mise en place) est fournie par la centrale. La pression de coulissement peut être réglée par un système de clapets de décharge. L'étançon hydraulique, par sa pression de pose élevée et sa souplesse de coulissement, constitue le meilleur soutènement.
