Mining | A continuous digging machine originally designed and used in large-scale stripping and mining of brown coal deposits in eastern Germany. Its digging mechanism is essentially a boom on which is mounted a rotating vertical wheel having buckets on its periphery. As the rotating wheel is pressed into the material to be dug, the buckets cut, gather, and discharge the material onto a conveyor belt where it is moved to the minedmaterials transport system.
