Island Creek Adopts Air Shooting System at Chilton Mine
Island Creek Coal Co. manager Stonie Barker Jr. touts the Long-Airbex TDF-24 multiple air shooting system at the Chilton mine in Coal Mountain. The unit, with automatic discharge tubes and sequence valves, has cut face production cycle to 27 minutes, enabling about 500 to 650 tons per shift now and potential rise to 900–1,000 tons per shift with higher capacity loaders and haulage. Barker notes reduced fine coal, lower shooting costs, and easier loading, with plans to expand using larger equipment and a 14-minute drilling and shooting cycle for six-hole patterns.
