Objective

During the period 1977-1987 there were 43 frictional ignitions caused by shearers and roadheading machines in North Rhine-Westphalia. The aim of this project was to investigate the various types of cutting equipment on a purpose-built test rig at WBK (which has since become part of the DMT) and to determine means of reducing the risk of ignition.
