Abstract:
This study looks at the use of Continuous Miner (CM) technology for mechanized depillaring in Lower Workable Seam (LWS) Panels 2, 3, and 4 at the Tawa II underground coal mine (Western Coalfields Limited, WCL), in the Pathakhera region of India. In order to assess how CM deployment can maximize coal recovery while maintaining geotechnical stability, this paper employs systematic strata monitoring and control techniques, such as instrumentation-based roof support design and frequent condition assessments. OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) values surpass 72%, daily extraction rates of 2,200–2,400 t, and few unscheduled stoppages are revealed by panel-specific data. Coal recovery during panel depillaring was between 78 and 82 percent of the pillar reserves. The results provide an established framework for the implementation of CM systems in comparable geological environments.
