Advantages include : –

  • Improved soil behavior.
  • Easier mucking.
  • Reduced permeability & improved sealing at the face.
  • Can reduce stickiness of soils reducing blockages.
  • The soils properties are made more plastic giving more even and controlled support & better stability at the face.
  • Reduces friction & abrasion to the cutter head, screw conveyor & conveyor reducing wear costs and power consumption
