Shearers
Highly productive longwalls place the highest demands on quality and reliability of modern shearers. Cat® shearers are built to meet these requirements.
Key Features
- Unique mainframe with fabricated structure to meet even the toughest mining conditions. It's the ideal anchor against the forces occurring during driving and cutting.
- Patent-pending trapping shoe with superior service life.
- Power for the toughest mining conditions.
- Modular design allows for maximum machine configuration flexibility and rapid replacement of modules to minimize downtime.
- Extensive testing to meet the most demanding mining requirements.
- Installed power of up to 2 295 kW / 3,078 hp for production rates of up to 5000 t/h.
- Industry-leading automation can be configured to meet individual control needs—from basic monitoring and protection to advanced automation and data transmission. Advanced automation package allows improved utilization of manpower in a safe environment, with increased yield from any given seam section, faster haulage speeds, improved face management, and increased life of all equipment.
- Haulage systems designed for problem-free operation and maximum speeds.
