Mining coal . Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, while others are deep mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.
Sonning Cutting is on the original Great Western Railway built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is to the east of Reading station and to the west of Twyford station near the village of Sonning in Berkshire, England. The railway's originally planned route had been around the north of Sonning Hill past the village. But because of local objections ...
Coal is a combustible black or brownishblack sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is a type of fossil fuel, formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

Types of coal pulverizers. Coal pulverizers may be classified by speed, as follows: Low Speed; Medium Speed; High Speed; Low speed Ball and tube mills. A ball mill is a pulverizer that consists of a horizontal rotating cylinder, up to three diameters in length, containing a charge of tumbling or cascading steel balls, pebbles, or rods.
Chisel. A chisel is a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge of blade on its end; for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal by hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power. [1] The handle and blade of some types of chisel are made of metal or wood with a sharp edge in it (such that wood chisels have ...

The Anderton Shearer Loader is a coal cutting machine which was used in the UK coal industry after 1953. The Anderton Power Loader with its cutting drum up to five feet in diameter was patented in 1953.
Coke (fuel) Raw coke. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coalbased fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air—a destructive distillation process. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges when air pollution is a ...
Bucyrus' largest dragline was Big Muskie built for the Ohio Coal Company in 1969. This machine featured a 220yard bucket on a 450foot boom and weighed 14,500 tons. Bucyrus was itself acquired by heavy equipment and diesel engine maker, Caterpillar, in 2011. ... The final cut if required is a pull back, pulling material back further to the low ...
A twin engined Terex TS14b scraper in Hudson, Ohio. In civil engineering, a wheel tractorscraper (also known as a land scraper, land leveler or 'tournapull') is a type of heavy equipment used for has a pan/hopper for loading and carrying material. The pan has a tapered horizontal front cutting edge that cuts into the soil like a carpenter's plane or cheese slicer and fills the ...
Introduction Coal cutting machines are often used underground to assist in breaking down the coal so that it can be loaded out. A coal cutter cuts into a portion of the seam, making a slot along the coal face, after which the remaining part of the coal is cut down by the use of hand or pneumatic picks or is broken down by explosives.
A coal ball is a type of concretion, varying in shape from an imperfect sphere to a flatlying, irregular balls were formed in Carboniferous Period swamps and mires, when peat was prevented from being turned into coal by the high amount of calcite surrounding the peat; the calcite caused it to be turned into stone instead. As such, despite not actually being made of coal, the coal ...
A threshing machine in operation. A threshing machine or a thresher is a piece of farm equipment that separates grain seed from the stalks and does so by beating the plant to make the seeds fall out. Before such machines were developed, threshing was done by hand with flails: such hand threshing was very laborious and timeconsuming, taking about onequarter of agricultural labour by ...
All the coal mines in Britain were purchased by the government in 1947 and put under the control of the National Coal Board (NCB). The industry declined steadily despite protests such as the UK miners' strike ().The 1980s and 1990s saw much change in the coal industry, with privatisation, the industry contracting, in some areas quite drastically.
Automated coal mining equipment is helping cut down on wastage in Europe's coal mines, and make the process cleaner and safer. An automated mining machine. Image courtesy of Euracoal. While Europe is investing heavily in sustainable energy generation technologies to help cut greenhouse gases, coal still accounts for about a third of electricity ...
2. Longwall shearers The coal is cut from the coal face by a machine called the shearer (power loader). This machine can weigh 75120 tonnes typically and comprises a main body, housing the electrical functions, the tractive motive units to move the shearer along the coalface and pumping units (to power both hydraulic and water functions).
Oxyacetylene Welding (OAW) station. Oxyfuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxyfuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, bio diesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché ...
