CHRONOLOGY OF INTRODUCTION OF UG MECHANISATION IN SCCL1956 – Coal Cutting and Coal ploughing1962 – Gathering arm loaders and Shuttle Cars1976 – SDLs (GDK No. 9 Incline)1979 – Roadheaders1980 – LHDs (GDK No. 9 Incline)1983 – Longwall Technology1989 – Blasting Gallery Technology ISN

INTRODUCTION• In order to keep away with the arduous labor of loading coal manually, to avoid exposure of persons at face and improve productivity efforts are made to introduction of intermediate technology and continuous mining systems.• as a result, in India SDLs & LHDs have taken foot forward in intermediate technology. contd… ISN

INTRODUCTION• The Board and pillar method has been predominantly adopted in SCCL and in India for the extraction of coal seams due to shallow depth and good roof conditions.• Although every effort is made to introduce LW method of mining, it is not likely to replace the entire board and pillar method contd… ISN

OPERATION OF LHDs and SDLs Method of working The method of development and depillaring with LHDs/SDLs was similar to Conventional development of forming rectangular OR square pillars as per Regulation 99 of Coal Mines Regulations, 1957 and subsequent extraction of pillars by splitting and judiciously reducing it. Coal Preparation Coal preparation for LHD/SDL was done by conventional drilling and blasting.TransportationThe coal carried by LHD/SDL from the face was discharged on to thepony belt conveyor, which was maintained as near to the face aspossible, even though LHD/SDLISN cope with about 100m lead. can

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR SDL OPERATOR ISN

Code of Practice for Overman: He should inspect the route of LHD/SDL marching priorto marching and take the following precautions: Ensure no obstruction in the way of marching. Check thepresence of W-straps, bolts, chock timber, old pipes andother material that damage to the LHD/SDL and result toother breakdowns. Take necessary precautions to prevent dislodgment ofvertical supports, if any, due to moving trailing cable. Ensure that the persons engaged have taken all necessaryprecautions. Take necessary precautions while crossing track line, pipeline etc. And also avoid rubbing of trailing cable againsthard surfaces and to pillar corners. ISN

INPUTS FOR IMPROVING PRODUCTION ISN

1. Improvement of availability and utilization of machinery – Idle time due to shift change hours can be reduced by implementing overlapping 4 shifts. – Proper maintenance of machinery i.e., strict scheduled maintenance should be followed. – By making availability of coal at max. no of working faces. – Reducing flitting distance of machine. – Timely availability of spares by follow up with firms and placement of RC & departmental contracts. – By introducing sufficient number of mechanized roof bolting machines with rated power pack/ air compressors. – Deployment of trained efficient supporting crew, technicians and operating personnel. ISN

2. Working of full shifts.– Implementation of staggered shifts– Positioning of supervisors in time.– By improving good environmental conditions such are ventilation, supporting, drainage and house keeping.– Keep availability of material for supporting , ducting and spares.– Efficient back up services like pumping, work-shops, coal evacuation system, bunkers etc.,– Proper incentive schemes. ISN– Treating people with due regard.

3. Other recommendations– Introduction of high capacity and cable less LHD’s– Good communication system at all levels.– Intensive monitoring at all levels.– Increasing length of cable by reducing diameter of cable or increasing drum diameter.– Mechanization of face drilling.– Introduction of multi job concept like ‘operator cum mechanic’, ‘coal cutter cum support men’ ISN Contd……

3. Other recommendations– Introduction of equipment maintenance by OEM.– Design of suitable training module.– Out sourcing of non-core activities– Adjusting general shift man power in production and retaining only in statutory requirement.– Explore the workings at suitable gradient.– Avoiding water and slurry condition by proper maintenance of drainage system– Selection of educated and young persons as operation ISN crew.

CONCLUSIONAvailability of coal faces & more yield per blastMaintain less lead (30m)Continuous LoadingExtensions/Retreats & Pre-shift maintenance etcIncrease machine utilizationBetter working conditionsGood discipline, higher morale and well planned actionsTraining ISN
