Continuous Miner Used In Underground Coal Mining. Multiple Views. Handheld. Stock Video. - HD 影片檔

This depicts the rotating drum of a continuous mining machine digging coal out of the walls in an underground mine about two hours drive from the surface. The mining machine starts with it's drum stationary as it moves in and starts mining the coal. The spinning drum spits coal and debris through the air as the water sprayers shoot a wet mist into the air. A continuous miner machine is a large underground mining vehicle equipped with a rotating steel drum covered in tungsten carbide bits. It-carves and removes the coal from the rock face without the need for traditional blasting or drilling. It shoots out water to prevent harmful dust from accumulating in the small space. The coal is moved by the miner to the back and is loaded onto a hauler car to be transported out of the mine. The coal miner that operates the machine uses a remote control in his hands and stands clear of the machine for safety.
