The application of Wirtgen Surface Miner 2100 SM has proved to be a success story on several counts. The production capability and the quality enhancement have been validated as also the contribution to improve economics through application of this innovative technology. The pioneering trials have bolstered the confidence of the coal industry and also should encourage the industry to go in for larger capacity machines suitable for cutting harder coals and inter-bands in other coal fields in India. Using the state of the art technology of surface miners coupled with rapid ash analysis with ash probe, opens up wide vistas of further possibilities in surface mining, especially for quality enhancement without resorting to coal beneficiation. The introduction of this new system and technology has not only yielded the fruits of the technology advancements, but also revolutionalised the coal mining industry for its eco-friendliness and sustained quality enhancement.
