Engaging in longwall mining requires specialized equipment to maximize efficiency in complex conditions. Joy Armored Face Conveyors (AFC) are meticulously crafted to suit your specific operational needs and seamlessly integrate with your other longwall equipment.

Key features include:

  • Custom-designed for your operation, ensuring a tailored solution that aligns with your unique requirements.
  • Specifically engineered to thrive in challenging environments, the Joy AFC is built to withstand the rigors of longwall mining.
  • Focus on cost-effectiveness, with a commitment to lowering costs per tonne, making it a financially prudent choice for your mining operations.

Product Features and benefits:

Durable Linepans for Longevity: Featuring a simple design with just four parts, our linepans are built for longevity. The trapezoidal design and patented loading profile ensure excellent horizon and snake control, enhancing alignment and face control. Each bespoke AFC design undergoes rigorous testing before delivery.

OptiDrive Variable Speed Drive (VSD): The OptiDrive VSD controls everything from start-up to event mitigation, reducing chain travel by up to 40% for improved product life and a path to zero harm. Variable chain speeds enhance capacity, cutting cycles, and overall efficiency.

Reliable Sprockets, Chain, and Flight Bars: Crafted from high-quality materials, our sprockets, chain, and flight bars are designed and matched to each other and your production goals. This ensures optimal life and production for your system.

Effective Chain Management Solutions: Optimize your chain management to increase safety and equipment life. Our multiple chain tensioning systems can be used in combination or standalone, minimizing chain issues and reducing downtime.

Innovative Broadband Chain Design: Available in sizes from 38mm to 64mm diameter, our patented broadband chain design can increase power by up to 60% and production compared to conventional designs. This design also enhances fatigue and wear resistance, based on internal testing.

Efficient Flight Bars for Material Conveying: Computer-aided designed flight bars ensure excellent raceway cleaning and efficient material conveying. A security lock nut and bolt help minimize breakdowns, promoting productivity and the road to zero harm.

Quality Joy Driveframes for Reduced Maintenance: Joy driveframes are designed for exceptional quality and reduced maintenance. Customized to your gate-end profiles, they improve material transfer, shearer cutout, and help minimize wear.

Specialized Joy Gearboxes for Enhanced Production: Specifically designed for AFC operations, Joy AFC gearboxes promote enhanced production, quality, and easy maintenance. The design allows for lower-cost refurbishment with overhaul and rehandling considerations.

RS20s AFC Control System for Operator Control: The RS20s standardizes the control system across all Komatsu longwall products, providing operators with more control. It can operate standalone or integrate with powered roof supports and shearers, promoting easier parts management, maintenance, and product support.

Turbo Transmission Technology (TTT) Coupling for Reliable Torque: Count on the controlled fill coupling with TTT. There’s no loss of torque under normal voltage drop situations, requiring minimal maintenance and cost. Using water as the fluid medium, it allows for multiple hard starts in succession.

Seamless Beam Stage Loader and Belt Tail End: Create a seamless transition from face to belt to minimize the risk of blockages and provide excellent discharge to the conveyor system. Continuously moving, it adapts to suit mining conditions.

Integration with Crushers for Enhanced Productivity: For excellent productivity, integrate crushers that handle lump coal and oversize rock. Our full range of Komatsu BSL crushers seamlessly integrates with the AFC, constructed with heavy steel plate reinforced with robust ribs, offering direct gear-drive or V-belt drive options.
