  • Patent number: 7954904
    Abstract: A shearer loader for underground mining, the shear loader comprising a shearer loader body, at least one cutting drum fastened to a supporting arm joined to the loader body, a first drive motor for moving the shearer loader and a second drive motor for moving the cutting drums, a cooling water circuit for cooling the first and second drive motors, the cooling water circuit including an inlet and a return line, a spray system including at least one spray water circuit, the spray system including a feed line fluidly connecting a common water connection to the cutting drums, the spray system further including a valve in the feed line for switching the spray water circuits on and off, a control valve connected between the feed line of the spray water circuit and the return line of the cooling water circuit, the control valve allowing selective flow from the cooling water circuit to be directed to the cutting drums.

  • Patent number: 4705937
    Abstract: A device for automatically controlling the temperature of welding bands consisting of a dividing circuit for determining the temperature of the welding band. A controller is provided to control the output power of the heating circuit in dependence upon the deviation of the determined actual temperature of the welding band from a predetermined desired value. The output voltage of the dividing circuit is an analog voltage representing the high-temperature resistance of the welding band, and is applied to a second dividing circuit with an analog voltage representing the low-temperature resistance of the welding band. This generates an analog voltage representing the quotient of the two input voltages of the second dividing circuit.
