As one of the commonly used equipment in coal mine production, the shearer is an indispensable tool. The shearer pick on the shearer is one of its key components, which can undertake the role of crushing and cutting coal in coal mining operations.
Do you know how many picks are on a shearer?
Number Of Picks
First of all, it needs to be clear that the number of picks of the shearer is not fixed, but depends on different shearer models and working conditions. Generally speaking, the more picks the shearer has, the higher its work efficiency and coal mining quality will be. And some small shearers may only be equipped with dozens of picks, while large shearers may have hundreds of picks, or even more.
Types Of Picks On The Shearer
Secondly, the types of picks on the shearer are also different, mainly divided into two types: knife picks and pick picks. The main function of the knife pick is to cut coal, while the drill pick is more suitable for coal seam crushing and destruction. In actual production, according to the specific working conditions and coal properties of the shearer, different types of picks will be selected for equipment and replacement.
Finally, it is important to note that the picks on shearers need to be inspected and replaced regularly to ensure their proper functioning and longevity. When replacing picks, it is necessary to pay attention to selecting the appropriate pick type and quality, so as not to affect the coal mining quality and equipment life.
In general, the number and types of picks on the shearer will depend on the specific situation, and need to be selected and replaced according to the nature of the coal and the model of the shearer. In actual production, it is necessary to do a good job in the maintenance and management of the picks to ensure the normal operation and efficient production of the shearer.
Quality Of Shearer Picks
In addition to quantity and type, the quality of shearer picks is also very important. High-quality picks can better adapt to different coal mining conditions and coal properties, improve the working efficiency and coal mining quality of the shearer, and can also prolong the service life of the shearer. Therefore, when selecting and replacing picks, it is necessary to pay attention to quality and choose regular manufacturers and suppliers. Also, be aware that the useful life of shearer picks decreases over time. Generally speaking, the service life of knife picks needs to be replaced after 2000-3000 tons of coal mining; while the service life of pick picks is relatively short. Therefore, in coal mining production, it is necessary to regularly check the wear of the picks and replace the severely worn picks in time to ensure the normal operation and efficient production of the shearer.
