A widely used cutter-loader in which the ordinary jib of the longwall coal cutter is replaced by a shear drum which cuts a web from 16 to 22 inches depending on its width. The machine travels on an armored conveyor and requires a prop-free-front for working. It shears the coal in one direction and the front coal is loaded by a plough deflector, and then returns along the face (without cutting) and loads the remainder of the broken coal. The ordinary Anderton is suitable for coal seams above 3 feet 6 inches thick. 5, record 4, English, - Anderton%20shearer%2Dloader

Haveuse Anderton. Elle a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Anderton Boyes et en France, sous licence, par la Sagem. C'est une machine à tambour ravageur. [...] Ses passes sont de 50 cm. Dans les couches de plus de 1, 25 m, les résultats sont favorables lorsque le charbon se décolle de lui-même au toit. Le tambour, dans sa rotation, attaque également la banquette située au mur devant le convoyeur blindé sur lequel la machine évolue. La machine est complétée par un soc en acier forgé permettant le chargement dans les deux sens, de sorte qu'une partie du charbon est chargée au cours de l'abatage lui-même, le reste l'étant lors du mouvement de retour de la machine qui se fait à vitesse rapide. Pendant cette course, le charbon de la banquette situé contre le flanc du convoyeur est lui-même chargé, de telle sorte qu'après passage de la machine, l'allée est impeccable. 1, record 4, French, - haveuse%20Anderton
