Coal Handling and Preparation. Coal from each production section is <br />• transferred from production areas to the belt haulage system by electrically <br />powered shuttle cars. The shuttle cars discharge their load to underground <br />feeder-breakers which break large coal lumps and feed the coal to underground <br />haulage belts. The underground belt haulage system typically consists of <br />three (3) segments; the panel belts which carry coal from the operating <br />section to the submains; the submain belts which move coal from the panels to <br />the main haulage entries; and the main haulage belt moves coal from the <br />submains to the raw coal stockpile. Panel and submain belts are typically <br />36" wide roof-hung conveyor belts which utilize standard prefabricated <br />components. EFCI currently has approximately 17.000 feet of submain/panel <br />belt in place and operating. <br />• <br /> <br />C:\TM1860\VUL.1 \UP.PLN <br />10/04/945:51pm WP51/cmc 2.05.3-12a Revised - 09/30/94 <br />
