Komatsu Continuous miner 

You're lucky I've been spending the last 12 years trying to find a job in the coal mines and they won't hire me because I don't have any experience

​@@robd1859well how else are supposed to get experience if they don't hire you.....ya know what I mean

What are those drill heads made of? Steel or carbide?

@@srsrsrsrsrsrsrsr solid steel I believe

@@claymack1109 thanks. Do they get replaced after a few years? I wonder how the paint stays on there for so long

I have worked on and with them, it's tricky to operate and don't get me started on changing bits that have been corroded into the metal from salt and water rusting them. Dayshift would leave lots of bits and a mess almost every time so it made for lots of maintenance. Beating the bits out with a 6-8 pound sledge was either satisfying when it went smooth or frustrating when corroded, albeit a very good workout. @lordlandbeast

sitatan komatsu is a japanese brand and we say ‚‘‘the operator is very skilled‘‘

It is also all electric motors. Most of them run on 480 volt or 996 volt.

Hi sir can I get your number

And they said automation would make people unemployed.

​@standalone2358 these are entirely operated by humans.

What's your salary dude

@Hunter1960 yeah no shit bird brain

😂 I can see the mine super and gmf coming underground super early to make sure hoot owl got the face hosed and dusted 😂

stfu bich

The one

It is for maintenance purposes, they have to change the tooth after some times

E bello è anche utile per scavare

Different machines, plus you've got to change the bits in the cutter head and sometimes the bit lugs have to be replaced.

I can't get hired . I tried for 12 years. They want welders , electrician ect. Or people with years of experience

Maybe you just thought up a cool new invention!🤔. You need to make it yourself though. If you want to make money. 👍

You can get the 1/50 scale model replica by Weiss Bros. Very detailed model.

My 1/50 arrived today. Very detailed. The tracks move. The "bed" rises up too. Love the teeth. Reminds me of an alien or ocean creature.

What you may be seeing is called rock dust, a limestone slurry sprayed on the mine walls to reduce coal dust being exposed to the air, helps prevent fine coal dust becoming an explosion hazard.

No. It can be used on any soft rock like coal, talc and salt

Salt cant collapse under the pressure so they do not need nothing.. also they will never cut through whole rock but 10m for example then left 5m salt pillar for protection,thats the rule in mining. Room and pillar method,you cant get 100% of any mineral reserve.

What do they dig for?

They dig to make tunnels, but they also use them to dig for coal😁

My dad was a coal miner. He worked in WV and KY

Salt mine i worked in used JOY continuous miners. ​@@ZyloXDT

I think it's to put on roads in the winter

i believe they're penises with hardened tips?

not true

Carbide tipped usually. @1986bubb

Roofbolting comes right behind it a machine has a little metal top above operators head so he dont get nothing fallen on him. Then everything else behind them

ssman operator oh I see now thanks a lot GOD BLESS. That makes perfect sense to.

ssman operator ......, . ....

They leave behind large pillars of material when they're mining ahead. If they're retreat mining, they still don't take all the coal.

You’ve lost it!

@@jayman5628 😂😂👍,good one. 🤭. I should have mentioned, I live in a mining town! But your reply made me laugh a lot. 🤗😊

Coal, salt, all sorts of things

Looks like it was thrown on wet and thick too 😂

Lolololo

Jan Nik how?! Can you explain??, for me its way better than the eickhoff cm

@@carholic-sz3qv for example the Maximum cutting height is better. Besides for me Eickhoff has a better service and delivery time. But i need to admit sheare loader SL900 and SL1000 from Eickhoff are way better than the CMs

Jan Nik nonsense

@@carholic-sz3qv i dont think the world record in russia last year for the SL900 is nonsence. Eickhoff sets standards in the mining technologie and is market leader in automation for mining machines.

Jan Nik they are not the best in class stop talking shit

Its probably more environmental friendly than the alternative, which would be open cast mining.

It literally does nothing to the environment its hundreds of meters underground
