25 July, 2008

Victoria’s largest energy producer, Loy Yang Power, recently embarked on an upgrade of its four-level open-cut coal mine facility, Loy Yang Mine. The ‘in progress’ upgrade includes the redesign and progressive changeover of the mine’s existing coal transfer conveyor drive systems. With a combined length in excess of 25 km, the mine’s conveying system transfers the freshly mined coal from the mine floor to the surface.
