Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 0.6-1.0 m (2 ft 0 in - 3 ft 3 in) thick). The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km (1.9-2.5 mi) long and 250-400 m (820-1,310 ft) wide. Contents 1 History 2 Layout 3 Ventilation 4 Equipment

Until the maturation of modern longwall mining in the 1960s, Pennsylvania's underground bituminous coal production came almost exclusively from room-and-pillar mines.

Modern longwall mining began in the United States in 1952 at Eastern Associated Coal Corporation's Stotesbury Mine near Beckley, W. Va. It involved the mechanized extraction of a relatively large coal panel using a German-made coal plane. Three panels were successfully mined between 1952 and 1958, producing an average of 530 tons per shift.

In traditional longwall mining, the shearer travels along the face of the coal seam, cutting as it goes and dropping coal onto an armored face conveyor (AFC) that carries it to a belt or crusher. When a cut is complete, the whole system moves forward one step at a time until the seam is finished.

Soft-Rock: Shortwall Mining You might think the term "longwall mining" refers to the space in which you are working. However, the "long" part merely references the size of the cuts you make, and larger spaces allow you to make larger cuts. In some cases, the area may be too narrow for you to make the kinds of cuts you normally make.

In longwall mining, coal is removed by a cutting machine that works back and forth across the coal face, cutting off coal as thick as the coal seam (5 to 9 feet) in panels approximately 1,500 feet wide and up to 3 to 5 miles long. As the coal is sheared off it falls onto a conveyor and is transported out of the mine.
