Mixing Technology in Mining Applications: Make the Mixer Match
It is often necessary to stabilize the backfill material in mining applications. The spectrum can range from stabilizing powdery materials with particle sizes of a few tenths of a millimeter, to mixing filter cake with lumps larger than a human fist, to dry processing or to manufacturing nearly liquid sludges.…

Innovative Hydraulic Roof Support for Low Seams
One of the basic problems of Polish underground mining is low seams extraction. The main impediment in this case are extremely harsh exploitation and operation conditions of long-wall complex machines, which in most cases result from mining conditions and the characteristics of powered hydraulic roof supports. According to this, in…
