A DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF THE METHODS AND MACHINES USED FOR CONTINOUS TRANSPORT OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL. DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTINOUS EXCAVATORS IN THE U.S. AND EUROPE ARE REVIEWED. MANY DIFFERENT TYPES ARE REPRESENTED IN THE U.S.,E.G. BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATORS, MACHINES WITH SIDE MOUNTED CUTTING BLADES OR MACHINES WITH HELICOIDAL EXCAVATION DEVICES.
