DRAGLINE
•   Walking draglines are for many years the most
    popular machine for opencast mining due to their
    flexibility, utility and availability.
•   their low operating costs for waste mining
•   Draglines are deployed wherever there is scope for
    side casting Overburden above coal seam into the
    de-coaled area.
•   It is very cost effective technology- cost of OB
    removal is cheaper than shovel dumper technology.
•   There are two draglines working at RGOC-I and RG
    OC-III with bucket size of 24 Cum and 30.6 Cum
    respectively.
•   Both these draglines are performing very well.
•   The bucket is maneuvered by means of a number of
    ropes and chains.

DRAGLINE
The dragline is a typical combined cyclic excavator and
   material carrier since it both excavates material and
   dumps it without the use of trucks or conveyor
   belts. The dragline sits above the waste or
   overburden block, usually 50m or so wide, on the
   highwall side and excavates the material in front of
   itself, to dump it on the low-wall or spoil side of the
   strip to uncover the coal seam below it.




                             ISN
OPERATION OF DRAGLINE
In a typical cycle of excavation, the bucket is positioned
above the material to be excavated.
The bucket is then lowered and the dragrope is then drawn so
that the bucket is dragged along the surface of the material.
The bucket is then lifted by using the hoist rope.
A swing operation is then performed to move the bucket to
the place where the material is to be dumped.
The dragrope is then released causing the bucket to tilt and
empty. This is called a dump operation.
It is a independent machine unlike a shovel.
A 30 cum Dragline can handle 40 Lakh cum of OB per annum.
The dragline works on the immediate OB bench above coal
and the benches from the surface to the Dragline are normally
handled by Shovel & Dumper combination. Hence adequate
capacity of Shovel & Dumper ISN capacity should be provided to
prevent idling of the Dragline.
OPERATION OF DRAGLINE
The Dragline has a long boom with a bucket capacity ranging
from 15 to 50 cum.
It can swing in 360 degrees, after dragging the loose material
below its level.
It swings normally between 90 to 120 degrees and side cast
the material in to the de-coaled area.
The nomenclature of the Dragline usually called as 24/99
which means 24 cum of bucket capacity and 96 m is the boom
length.
The same Dragline can have about 32 cum of bucket capacity
if the boom length of 71 m. normally
the Draglines is electrically driven with 6.6 KV power with 2
main motors of 1750 HP each. These motors inturn drive the
Generators and the Generators drive DC motors
Normally there are 7 DC motors for different operations like
                              ISN

APPLICATION OF DRAGLINE
1.   Gradients flatter than 1 in 6 (if gradient is more the
     dumped OB will slide towards the coal face and
     particularly in rainy season the extraction of coal
     become dangerous)
2.   Seams should be free of faults & other geological
     disturbances
3.   Deposits with Larger Strike length (>2 km) so that
     frequent shifting of the Dragline from one end to
     another can be reduced.
4.   Present cost of the Dragline is above 100 Cr and the
     life of the Dragline is 1.50 Lakh hours hence, the
     property should be large enough ensuring the life of
     about 25 yr or more.
5.   A hilly property is not suitable
                              ISN
6.   Property should have atleast 15 years life
DRAGLINE – Methods of Working
– Simple casing method with or without
  rehandling.
– Extended bench method.
– Horse shoe /Spoil Bank/Across Pit
  method.
– Continuous bench two pass method.
– Tandem dragline working i.e., two
  draglines working together, one dealing
  with part of the material dumped by the
  other.
                    ISN
Simple Casting
This is simple method of Dragline working. In this method the Dragline is sited
on immediate OB bench above Coal and removes the OB and dumps it in the
de-coaled area of previous cut.
The width of the cut normally less than 40 m so that re-handling of the OB will
be negligible. The method is extremely suitable for singly thin seam mining.

Extended Bench Method
• As the name is suggested, the Dragline bench is
  extended by dumping a part of OB by dragline into de-
  coal area and the space is levelled by dozing and the
  same Dragline can be sited in 2nd position on the
  dumped and dozzed OB.
• This enables the distance between 1st and 2nd position to
  be more when compared with simple casting method.
• The increasing distance increases the capability of the
  Dragline to dump OB further away in de-coaled area, so
  that sliding of OB on to the coal bench is to be minimized.
• A Dragline has to do more re handling now. This method
  is suitable for exposing relatively thicker seams.

                 ISN
Spoil Bank Method
• The method is adapted when there are 2 seams
  and having parting between 10 to 12 m.
• In the first position, the Dragline exposes the top
  seam by side casting the OB above the top
  seam.
• The side casting material is dozed and leveled.
• After extraction of the top seam the parting OB is
  loosened by blasting and the Dragline is placed
  on the already side casted leveled material and
  the remaining parting OB of above bottom seam
  is removed by the dragline and side casted
  exposing the bottom seam.

Tandem Working of Draglines
• In this method 2 Draglines are put into in
  tandem operation one above the other
  with a minimum horizontal distance of 100
  m between them. This method is adopted
  where the coal seam thickness is more
  than 30 m and to handle the OB bench of
  60 m above the coal seam.

Working of dragline

  • 1. WORKING OF DRAGLINE I. Satyanarayana, M.Tech,MBA,MCA Dy. Manager, Project Planning, SCCL, isnindian@gmail.com, visit at www.slideshare.net/isnindian ISN
  • 2. ISN
  • 3. DRAGLINE • Walking draglines are for many years the most popular machine for opencast mining due to their flexibility, utility and availability. • their low operating costs for waste mining • Draglines are deployed wherever there is scope for side casting Overburden above coal seam into the de-coaled area. • It is very cost effective technology- cost of OB removal is cheaper than shovel dumper technology. • There are two draglines working at RGOC-I and RG OC-III with bucket size of 24 Cum and 30.6 Cum respectively. • Both these draglines are performing very well. • The bucket is maneuvered by means of a number of ropes and chains. ISN
  • 4. DRAGLINE The dragline is a typical combined cyclic excavator and material carrier since it both excavates material and dumps it without the use of trucks or conveyor belts. The dragline sits above the waste or overburden block, usually 50m or so wide, on the highwall side and excavates the material in front of itself, to dump it on the low-wall or spoil side of the strip to uncover the coal seam below it. ISN
  • 5. OPERATION OF DRAGLINE In a typical cycle of excavation, the bucket is positioned above the material to be excavated. The bucket is then lowered and the dragrope is then drawn so that the bucket is dragged along the surface of the material. The bucket is then lifted by using the hoist rope. A swing operation is then performed to move the bucket to the place where the material is to be dumped. The dragrope is then released causing the bucket to tilt and empty. This is called a dump operation. It is a independent machine unlike a shovel. A 30 cum Dragline can handle 40 Lakh cum of OB per annum. The dragline works on the immediate OB bench above coal and the benches from the surface to the Dragline are normally handled by Shovel & Dumper combination. Hence adequate capacity of Shovel & Dumper ISN capacity should be provided to prevent idling of the Dragline.
  • 6. OPERATION OF DRAGLINE The Dragline has a long boom with a bucket capacity ranging from 15 to 50 cum. It can swing in 360 degrees, after dragging the loose material below its level. It swings normally between 90 to 120 degrees and side cast the material in to the de-coaled area. The nomenclature of the Dragline usually called as 24/99 which means 24 cum of bucket capacity and 96 m is the boom length. The same Dragline can have about 32 cum of bucket capacity if the boom length of 71 m. normally the Draglines is electrically driven with 6.6 KV power with 2 main motors of 1750 HP each. These motors inturn drive the Generators and the Generators drive DC motors Normally there are 7 DC motors for different operations like ISN marching, dragging, hoisting, swinging etc.,

  • 10. APPLICATION OF DRAGLINE 1. Gradients flatter than 1 in 6 (if gradient is more the dumped OB will slide towards the coal face and particularly in rainy season the extraction of coal become dangerous) 2. Seams should be free of faults & other geological disturbances 3. Deposits with Larger Strike length (>2 km) so that frequent shifting of the Dragline from one end to another can be reduced. 4. Present cost of the Dragline is above 100 Cr and the life of the Dragline is 1.50 Lakh hours hence, the property should be large enough ensuring the life of about 25 yr or more. 5. A hilly property is not suitable ISN 6. Property should have atleast 15 years life
  • 11. DRAGLINE – Methods of Working – Simple casing method with or without rehandling. – Extended bench method. – Horse shoe /Spoil Bank/Across Pit method. – Continuous bench two pass method. – Tandem dragline working i.e., two draglines working together, one dealing with part of the material dumped by the other. ISN
  • 12. Simple Casting This is simple method of Dragline working. In this method the Dragline is sited on immediate OB bench above Coal and removes the OB and dumps it in the de-coaled area of previous cut. The width of the cut normally less than 40 m so that re-handling of the OB will be negligible. The method is extremely suitable for singly thin seam mining. ISN

  • 22. Extended Bench Method • As the name is suggested, the Dragline bench is extended by dumping a part of OB by dragline into de- coal area and the space is levelled by dozing and the same Dragline can be sited in 2nd position on the dumped and dozzed OB. • This enables the distance between 1st and 2nd position to be more when compared with simple casting method. • The increasing distance increases the capability of the Dragline to dump OB further away in de-coaled area, so that sliding of OB on to the coal bench is to be minimized. • A Dragline has to do more re handling now. This method is suitable for exposing relatively thicker seams. ISN

  • 29. Spoil Bank Method • The method is adapted when there are 2 seams and having parting between 10 to 12 m. • In the first position, the Dragline exposes the top seam by side casting the OB above the top seam. • The side casting material is dozed and leveled. • After extraction of the top seam the parting OB is loosened by blasting and the Dragline is placed on the already side casted leveled material and the remaining parting OB of above bottom seam is removed by the dragline and side casted exposing the bottom seam.

  • 34. Tandem Working of Draglines • In this method 2 Draglines are put into in tandem operation one above the other with a minimum horizontal distance of 100 m between them. This method is adopted where the coal seam thickness is more than 30 m and to handle the OB bench of 60 m above the coal seam. ISN
