This chain saw designed to open and develop underground mines of marble and of similar stone materials. Underground mining development is becoming a more and more common practice in many marble quarry operations. This method is often considered preferable to the open pit quarrying in terms of production optimization, efficiency, safety and environment preservation. The machine is mounted on a crawler and it can move easily and autonomously inside the tunnel. The machine is configured as shown in the next figures to reduce the overall dimensions and to move over slopes up to 25%. All the movements of the crawler and the positioning devices of the machine are made possible by an on-board “power pack” unit equipped with a diesel engine. During the cutting operation, the machine should be simply connected to the power line through cable and on-board plug. All the functions are controlled by means of a remote control board without cable and of a touch-screen panel. This machine is compact for tunnel mining work. By setting the cutting depth in automatic mode, the machine can make vertical and horizontal cuts on the tunnel face. This is self-propelled on crawler tracks and moves completely autonomously. Only one operator is required to operate the machine. This model can run cuts as deep as 1.7 meters.
The rail type quarry chain saw machine is the most basic and popular model in the world, its rails are placed on the surface of mining or body, and the rails are used alternately. Dry cuts, no water supply required. The products are referred to Italy mainstream manufacturers’design, reasonable layout and structure, convenient operation.
Chain saw for crawler is the enhanced one of orbital-type chain saw, the biggest characteristic of the machine is equipped with a pedrail walking itself, moving conveniently and flexibly.
