Drum shearer. The shearer has two cutting wheels that can be positioned from the roof to the floor of the coal. The shearer moves on the tracks on the conveyor frame while the wheels cut and load the coal on the conveyor. After the drum shearer has gone by a section of supports the positioning cylinders are actuated, pushing the face conveyor the width of the shearer cut closer to the face. The supports are moved one at a time after the face conveyor is in its new position. 3, record 2, English, - drum%20shearer

La haveuse intégrale est une fraiseuse de grande dimension, qui abat la totalité de la couche de minerai. Dans les couches minces un seul passage du tambour peut suffire, mais dans les couches puissantes deux ou trois "passes" peuvent être nécessaires, à moins que la machine ne soit pourvue de plusieurs (2 ou 3) tambours. En général, la haveuse intégrale se déplace le long du front en glissant sur le convoyeur de taille. Des déflecteurs permettent de charger au fur et à mesure les produits abattus sur ce convoyeur. 4, record 2, French, - haveuse%20int%C3%A9grale
