Continuous Miners

Eickhoff SA: Continuous Miners CM 2

The Eickhoff CM 2 is worldwide the only Continuous Miner available giving customers

the choice between two high powered traction drive concepts.

“H”- Concept

The “H”-type is a proven full Hydraulic Motor driven Traction System with significant

advantages in wet and muddy floor conditions.

“E”- Concept

The “E”-type is a full Inverter AC motors driven Traction System for customers who

prefer this option.

Cutter Gearcase

The Cutter Gearcase concept is based on two separate LH and RH units connected

together to provide the full installed motor power to the cutting drums. The two parts

allow easy handling during installation underground. Maintenance and production

engineers will appreciate the possibility to replace torricseals underground. Either of the

gearcases can be independently changed out should the need arise.

Traction system

Head to head, when it comes to performance, the electric and the hydraulic traction

systems provide lowest ground pressure and highest tramming speed and traction

force. Mines with wet and muddy floor conditions will benefit from the high reliable

hydraulic traction motors.
