Mine Design
 Mine plan has been layout along the favorable orientation of following variables
             Horizontal stress (good roof condition)
             Seam dip (lowest mining angle)
             Geological Disturbance (fault and over-thrust)
             Old mine working (longwall Gob)

 ARMPS (Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability) software developed by
  NIOSH, USA has been used to design proper dimension of mine pillars and
  barrier pillars.
 AutoCAD and Micro-station has been used to layout mine plan.

 Mine design has been supported and being accessed by

Electrical Issues
 Voltage
     Nominal section voltage is 1000 volts supplied by power center.
     Auxiliary Voltage is 220V.
     Joy has verified that all motors can operate satisfactorily at this nominal voltage.
 Feeder Breaker controls
     Joy will provide toggle switch to turn on feeder conveyor when shuttle car arrives at feeder.
     Feeder will shut off at a set time.
 Methane Monitoring
     CH4 monitor will be installed on miner
     Voluntary to shut off the cutting at 0,8% Methane that we do not reach 1% CH 4.
     An additional CH4 monitor as required by law will be hung from the roof above miner duct as
      approved by the Czech Mining Authority.
 Battery charging
     Chargers will have ATEX approval.
     The charging station will be at the equipment assembly room.
     CO and Hydrogen will be monitored at the charging station .
 Proximity
     Equipment will not be initially equipped with proximity systems .
     The available systems do not meet our requirements from functionality and approval.
     European funded R&D program (FEATureFACE) has started and we are participating.
 Shuttle car cameras
     Each shuttle cars will be equipped with two cameras and two monitors to provide a view of the
      opposite side of the shuttle car.

Mine Design  Mine plan has been layout along the favorable orientation of following variables  Horizontal stress (good roof condition)  Seam dip (lowest mining angle)  Geological Disturbance (fault and over-thrust)  Old mine working (longwall Gob)  ARMPS (Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability) software developed by NIOSH, USA has been used to design proper dimension of mine pillars and barrier pillars.  AutoCAD and Micro-station has been used to layout mine plan.  Mine design has been supported and being accessed by 1) Dr. Syd S.

Return Return Aux. Fan Active Face = Q (CH4>0.5) Stoppings = 5.2m X 4 m X 0.5m/s = 10.4m3/s Intake Passive Face = Q (CH4<0.5) = 5.2m X 4 m X 0.3m/s = 6.24m3/s Intake 12

  • 16. Electrical Issues  Voltage  Nominal section voltage is 1000 volts supplied by power center.  Auxiliary Voltage is 220V.  Joy has verified that all motors can operate satisfactorily at this nominal voltage.  Feeder Breaker controls  Joy will provide toggle switch to turn on feeder conveyor when shuttle car arrives at feeder.  Feeder will shut off at a set time.  Methane Monitoring  CH4 monitor will be installed on miner  Voluntary to shut off the cutting at 0,8% Methane that we do not reach 1% CH 4.  An additional CH4 monitor as required by law will be hung from the roof above miner duct as approved by the Czech Mining Authority.  Battery charging  Chargers will have ATEX approval.  The charging station will be at the equipment assembly room.  CO and Hydrogen will be monitored at the charging station .  Proximity  Equipment will not be initially equipped with proximity systems .  The available systems do not meet our requirements from functionality and approval.  European funded R&D program (FEATureFACE) has started and we are participating.  Shuttle car cameras  Each shuttle cars will be equipped with two cameras and two monitors to provide a view of the opposite side of the shuttle car. 16
