Face conveyors are the backbone of any longwall. They act as the guide for the plow or shearer and as an anchor for the advancing roof supports. High-performance Cat® face conveyors are the most powerful transport systems in underground mining. In service worldwide, Cat face conveyors have achieved haulage rates of 5 000 tonnes per hour (5,512 tons per hour) and even greater at peaks.
