• The cut coal is loaded on the conveyor by a ramp which is built in
part of the plough and which follows the cutting teeth.
• Coal plough are used in large scale in in Germany ,Holland and
either European countries.

• The seam thickness suitable for its operation is from 0.6m to 2m.
• The plough consist 4 or more teeth in two nearly vertical Planes fixed to
a base plate which is Mounted on armoured chain conveyor and driven
by the motor of the latter through a chain.
• The motor is usually chain pulls and the plough up or down the coal
face And it is threaded by through a 115 mm dia . Tube attached to a
conveyor all along the face.
• The two ends of the chain pass over the two sprocket, one at each end
of the conveyor, and are finally attached to the plough. .

• The plough cuts the thin web of coal during travel in either direction.
• The conveyor and the plough are held upto the face by hydraulic jacks
placed at intervals along the goaf side of the face conveyor.
