Fairchild Continuous Miners


Selective Mining Benefits


Less rock in the raw coal means preparation plants can operate more efficiently and the coal will contain less refuse to dispose of above ground. All this, of course, helps make coal mining more friendly to the environment.

Our cutting bits will last longer because the shearer design minimizes out of seam dilution, even under complicated geological conditions, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

Aside from the rock, the continuous miner operator can control each cutter shearer independently to avoid parts of coal seams that contain ash or coal with greater amounts of sulphur.

Bottom line, the Fairchild mining concept will send a better product to the surface.
