They are equipped with high experience based, geometrically optimized, transverse cutter heads proven to give the best cutting performance in a wide range of rock formations. Powered electro-hydraulically, they emit no fumes and are used extensively in coal mining, mineral mining and underground construction projects, where their ability to excavate the desired profile without causing severe and harmful vibrations is highly valued for both environmental and safety reasons. This medium sized roadheader has a powerful transverse cutter head mounted on a robust cutter boom. It is designed to excavate considerably strong rock / rock mass of up to 80 MPa uniaxial compressive strength. The MR361nEx is a PLC (programmable logical controller) controlled machine and global as well as country-specific standards and regulations are considered to satisfy special customer needs and requirements.
