The new Anglo Grosvenor mine has aggressive production ramp up requirements. Therefore, the introduction of the longwall gate road entry driver machines at Grosvenor needed to be flawless. Anglo American needed an entry driver at Grosvenor that could deliver the high productivity of the Joy Global continuous cut and bolt machines in the U.S., while also meeting the challenges of the greater roof support density requirements in Australia without compromising safety and productivity. “With the Grosvenor Mine being a major new project for Anglo, and facing the head winds of a tough coal market, we have high expectations on Joy Global’s entry development equipment,” said Glen Britton, head of underground operations for Anglo American Coal.
