`` VORKUTAUGOL start mining COAL MINE IN NEW LaVey `` KOMSOMOLSKAYA
`` Komsomolskaya mine started production in the new longwall coal reserves of over 1.16 million tonnes of coking coal. In the working face mounted modern equipment from leading manufacturers. Investment project - more than 715 million rubles.
Inventories of new lava - 1.16 million tonnes of coking coal grade F (2G). After reaching full production capacity culling will work with a load of 75,000 tons per month. Testing of lava is scheduled for completion in August 2013. It is the last lava in the North wing of the mine, after working this year and next face - to 912-mining - the work will move to the South block that `` Komsomolskaya started to learn this year.
Inventories of South Block of 8.8 million tonnes of coking coal grade F (2G).
In preparing the new lava used a number of innovations have made possible the reassembly of equipment and start production as soon as possible, subject to a high level of security. In operation, the miners have mastered the new technology work for the mine tunnel boring machine in combination with a self-propelled carriage. This has significantly improved the pace of preparation workings. Doing tunnel works using self-propelled rail cars is one of the most advanced technology to date.
Virtually all of the mine `` Vorkutaugol apply this technology.
In the conduct of preparatory mining preceding, top coal mining, special attention was paid to safety. Part of the mine workings to improve the reliability completed with special events.
The new lava opened a new set of modern high-efficiency equipment, consisting of roof supports Ostroj Czech-made, face conveyor Angers-34 and the German mining shearer Eickhoff SL-300. Mechanized system was designed and constructed under the special task Vorkutaugol ``. With its unique technology used in the production and special steels to let the lining in difficult geological conditions of the Arctic. Hydraulics lining is protected from corrosion and mechanical stress.
The irrigation system is aimed gob engaged automatically when moving the roof support. This will reduce dust levels and, as a consequence, the risk of an accident.
The total investment for the preparation of a new lava, including the preparatory work and the acquisition of new equipment, amounted to more than 715 million rubles.
After the launch of the new lava Komsomolskaya mine `` works in two clearing faces. Lava in reservoir `` The fourth was launched in the summer of this year, and will produce coal until May 2013, followed by a reassembly of equipment in a new stope.
