Challenging projects need a trusted partner Longwall systems FAMUR is amongst the world leaders in the manufacture of longwall systems. We focus on technologically advanced and highly efficient automatic longwall systems equipped with control systems, monitoring system of machine states, processes and technical systems, along with IT support which significantly improve safety and efficiency. Over sixty years of experience in the mining industry enables us to design and manufacture machines operating in particularly challenging underground conditions. Through our rich experience we can complete the most complex projects worldwide. Characteristics A hallmark and distinguishing feature of FAMUR products is the combination of machines and advanced information technologies into one comprehensive and consistent system. Longwall systems are professional mining industry solution ensuring: 1 safe working conditions by applying an integrated monitoring system high work efficiency due to full compatibility of the machines minimizing the operation costs through the application of devices made by one manufacturer long life of the machines achieved by using high-quality materials Thanks to their technical parameters and ability to adapt to changing mining and geological conditions, longwall systems for mining thin seams may successfully compete with plough systems. As a result of the application of innovative solutions, they enable the smooth exploitation of seams that are 1-1.8 m high using both roadheaders and the MIKRUS system, which is a combination of roadheader and plough systems. Mining systems based on average and high longwall systems are a perfect solution for mines characterised by significantly different mining and geological conditions. Thanks to the adoption of innovative solutions, it is possible to mine undulating as well as transversely and longitudinally inclined seams smoothly. Depending on the customer’s requirements, we offer solutions that may be used in a cave-in system on walls with a height of up to 6 m.
