Main operations at the face in coal mine are devided as follows:
Operations (1) Mining of coal seam
(2) Loading of coal mined
(3) Face conveyance
The operations are mechanized by use of various drills, hammers and coal cutters in the mining of coal seam (1) and by various conveyors in the face conveyance (3) at each But the operatio which needs most large labor and controling its efficiency in the coal loading (2), is under the present conditions not to be out of trial manufacture.
With much early necessities of loader at Miike Coal Mine and Miike Machinery Works, the design of, it was started by us In May 1947, then the trial one was manufacturedin September the same year. In Miyanoura Pit the mining method, face structure, and timberingmethod were improved to meet this machine, on the other hand, miners and macbin operators were trained stronKly for it: a.number of lorder installed is -increased one by one, at lastit was developed from the starge of study into that of essential utilization, with the use of MFL 13 type machine, the targets of average 16 tons per miner and 12 tons per face worker can be attainable at the present conditions.
In the future with more improvement of the machine; especially increase of the loading efficiency and, improvement of the research on increasing coal production to meet the capacity of loader at the face, it is expected to increase actively the efficiency in accordance with the increased number of the machine.
The mechanization of loading operation which is in undeveloped field in Japan will get no table actual results on the efficiency of coal mining after the rapid improvement of machine and its operation place were executed by manufacturers-side and machine users-side as one, man: beforehanded with the actual utilization of small type loader. Moreover it will make a foundation of notable increase efficiency in future.
