High-Pressure Longwall Hoses - Best Maintenance Practices
Longwall systems utilize high-pressure fluid to operate the shield supports, and that fluid is transported in high-pressure hoses, which can be damaged due to exposure to environmental conditions and physical stress. Damage to hoses may also result from the routine removal of the hoses for longwall system relocation and maintenance. This type of damage can be minimized to some degree.
