HYDRAULIC HOISTING IN THE MINING INDUSTRY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
Three hydraulic hoisting rigs are described in some detail: At the iron ore mine Lengede Broistedt, the entire conventional cage-winding equipment has been superseded by hydraulic transport. Up to 5,000 tons of ore per day with a size fraction up to 30 mm is pumped using centrifugal pumps from a depth of 120 m. In a trial installation for hydraulic winning of coal in the Carl Funke mine in Essen, the size fraction less than 1 mm has been pumped over a distance of 5,500 m from a 750 m depth to the surface washery using reciprocating pumps. The capacity was 800 tons fine coal per day. In a second large-scale trial at the Gneisenau coal mine in Dortmund, the entire hydraulically won coal is broken to less than 60 mm and transported by a pipe-feeder from 700 m depth to the surface. The capacity is 2,500 tons run-off-mine coal per day. This paper describes the most important stages in the development, the experimental programmes, and the essential technical and economic results for the three plants.
