L&T launched indigenously developed Surface Miner (Model-KSM 304), 3 M drum width and 400mm max depth of cut in Feb 2004. First machine operating in coal application has already clocked more than 25000 hrs and consistently delivered more than 1000 TPH in coal mining application. Soon after smallr model KSM 223 (2.2 M drum width and 350mm max depth of cut) was launched which brought higher level of productivity even in smaller mine faces.

Surface Miner Models KSM 304 & KSM 223 for direct Rock (LimeStone(Golden King), Coal, Gypsum, Sand Stone, Salt etc) Cutting application at Mines eliminating the need of drilling, blasting and excavation and transportation of large boulders. The primary crushing is also eliminated.
