LW InitiativesFace Lengths
• Wider faces 350 m to 400m
Block Lengths• Extending 3500m to 5000m
Shearers• Higher capacity to increase production capability• Automation – memory cuts, horizon control
Supports• Wider canopies 1.75m to 2m• Greater leg support capacity• Improved control systems & shearer initiation
