Underground Coal Design

Our underground coal design & manufacture team comprises of leading experts in the field. We have over 30 years combined experience in shearer drum engineering with hundreds of sets of shearer drums manufactured for the Australian & Chinese coal markets. We work closely with our customers from the tender stage through design conception to build and delivery with up to date progress reports emailed to clients weekly. During the design process, close consideration is given to geological conditions, output requirements, available machine power and the most economical tooling and water consumption options. Using purpose written software we can accurately predict loading, cutting and wear characteristics of each drum we design.
