Table 2—AFC Design Calculation Note: H = headgate, T = tailgate; volume capacity of the AFC is approx. 2,500 tph. The productivity of the longwall with wider faces improves because a higher percentage of time is spent mining, and a reduced amount of time is spent in the wedge cuts at each gate end of the face.

In addition, the AFC acts as a guide rail for shearer with a traction force of up to 1000 kN in a longwall mining operation; this feature is not required for the CMCB operation. Hence, capacity reduction and removal of guide rail functionality of typical AFC increases the compatibility of the equipment required and reduces capital cost.
