Record 5 1999-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
DEF

A continuous miner mainly for use in coal headings and extraction of coal pillars. It weighs about 15 tons and comprises(1) turntable mounted on caterpillars;(2) ripper-bar, and(3) discharge boom conveyor. The ripper-bar has six cutter chains with picks running vertically to the plane of the seam. An intermediate conveyor behind the ripper-bar delivers the coal into a small hopper and a discharge conveyor takes it to the outbye end of the machine. The latter conveyor can be swung 45° to right or left to facilitate cornering.

French

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

Machine à chaîne de havage parallèle. La première et la plus connue est le continuous miner de Joy [...] II comprend : [...] une tête de havage [,] un convoyeur intermédiaire à chaîne par rapport auquel la tête précédente peut tourner de +- 22° [...] un convoyeur de chargement à l'arrière qui peut tourner de +- 45° par rapport au convoyeur précédent [...] des chenilles supportant le tout et permettant l'avancement. [...] Elle abat de bas en haut et de droite à gauche des bandes verticales successives de 75 cm de large, 15 cm de profondeur, 2 m de haut. On peut ainsi creuser de larges galeries sans déplacement de la machine. [...] Dans l'ensemble, le continuous miner est mal adapté aux gisements européens [...] sortir à reculons [...]. Cette machine peut charger en shuttle-car, mais il est mieux pour la continuité de sa marche de la faire suivre d'un convoyeur extensible.

Record 6 1997-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

In 1900, the "sanitary" can was developed in Europe for food. Its ends were attached using what is called a double seam where, in effect, the edges of the can walls(or body) and end are folded together, then folded again to form a strong seal. The double seam permitted greatly increased manufacturing speeds and removed the soot of soldering from can making and packaging plants.

OBS

The usual type of hermetically sealed can.

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
CONT

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.

  • Mining Equipment and Tools
CONT

Joy presently offer both chain ripper miners and the rotary drum head-type miners introduced in 1968. However, the rotary drum head machines are proving to be the more popular and look to be superseding the chain ripper models produced by Joy. In operation the chain ripper machine works as follows. The machine is trammed forward into position then, while the main chassis of the machine remains stationary, the cutting head moves forward, sumping into the coal at the bottom of the face. The rotation of the chains carries the broken coal back over the head and deposits it on to the chain conveyor which then moves the coal to the rear end of the machine. When the sumping operation is complete, the head travels upwards towards the top of the seam, breaking out the coal as it moves. As soon as the cycle is complete the head is withdrawn and swung to the side in order to make another cut.

OBS

trammed: Technical term used for the driving backward and forward of such machinery.
