Plow Systems

GH1600

The HBT gliding plow system GH1600 was specifically developed for very hard coal and high productivity by doubling the installed power of the GH800 to 1600 kW with 2 x 800 kW (2,160 hp with 2 x 1,080 hp). It can be used in seams from approximately 0.9 m (35.4 in) up to 2.3 m (91 in) with a portal arm.

The plow guide is also casted to withstand the significantly higher reactionary forces. The plow guide is designed to provide minimum friction between plow guide and plow chain.

The plow body design of the GH1600 is like the GH800, but the main elements – including the plow bits – were upgraded to handle twice the installed power. This next-generation HBT plow system has been working successfully in several longwalls since 2003 – achieving production world records for thin seams.
