Eickhoff mining machinery is well known for its reliability and robust design. Based on more than a century of experience in manufacturing mining equipment, gearboxes and steel castings, our Continuous Miners have proven their outstanding capabilities under the toughest conditions in coal mining.
The machine's concept has been steadily refined, in close cooperation with our customers, to meet the highest demands in terms of safety, productivity and maintainability. Eickhoff Continuous Miners are designed for operation in challenging mining conditions and can be easily adapted to meet specific customers' requirements.
Hydraulic Version - The CM2H type is a field-proven traction system driven by hydraulic motors providing significant advantages in wet and muddy floor conditions.
Interchangeability of Components - Four different types of Eickhoff Continuous Miners are available for cutting face heights from 1.4m up to 4.5m. All machine types share a large number of components that allow for interchangeability and optimized stock management.
Eickhoff currently offers four different continuous miner models, the 30 type, the 36 type, the 37 type and the 45 type whereas the 30 type can cut from a minimum cutting height of 1.4m to a maximum of 3.0m and the 45 type from a minimum cutting height of 2.2m to a maximum of 4.5m. The 36 and 37 type offer cutting heights in between these ranges. Individual models can be customized to suite customer specific requirements. The customization includes add-on's like lights, methane monitoring, colour, drum lacing to suit cutting conditions, safety markings, and proximity detection.
Eickhoff supports all its products with parts, maintenance, repairs and training services. A Service or Maintenance contract can be chosen by our customers as an additional option to their continuous miner. Depending on the option chosen these contracts can be specifically tailored to meet the customer’s maintenance needs and their budget. Eickhoff support services also include a 24 hour standby, parts delivery service, from our Wadeville premises and skilled staff to maintain, repair, troubleshoot and rebuild mining machines.
Eickhoff offers extensive training programs to its customers and its own employees. These include safety, operator training, maintenance, repair, performance optimization, diagnostics and fault-finding, inventory, parts identification, preservation, transport and handling.
Within our group of companies, we benefit from a broad vertical range of manufacturing experience. For example:
Our foundry has an extensive knowledge base in metallurgy which it utilizes in making its quality high-grade castings.
Our gear manufacturing team is highly competent in the fields of gear component manufacturing including heat treatment and casting machining as a result of their long-standing experience in the production of high-performance mining machinery and gearboxes.
The new Eickhoff planetary gearboxes are designed according to a modular principle. The distinguished characteristics is their high power density and compactness.
The selected gradation of sizes in conjunction with the available ratios provide for a wide range of industrial applications.
Nominal output torque capacity is now within the range of 220.000 Nm to 7.280.000 Nm and can be increased on a special request. All gear teeth are designed to be long-life fatigue resistant for the stated nominal torques.
Gearboxes are used across a variety of industries because they serve many functions. An industrial gearbox, in its simplest definition, is a collection of gears that increase either torque or speed, but usually not both. These machines can be found attached to conveyor belts and in cooling towers, among many other areas. In fact, many industries will use a mix of gearboxes depending on the functionality required by each task. Some of the largest sectors these machines are used in include the paper, cement, sugar, and steel industries.
