The King of Hard Rock (100 MPa), the Mainstay of Medium and Large Mines
The Weishi EBZ280A heavy-duty cantilever roadheader, a flagship model for hard rock mining launched in 2022, is designed to meet the four core needs of domestic small and medium-sized coal mines: mining conditions of medium-hard rock up to 100 MPa, mine budget control, multi-face rotation construction, and high wear and tear on vulnerable parts. We have created the EBZ280A, an economical and standardized roadheader, filling the market gap where smaller models have weak rock-breaking capabilities and larger models have excessively high procurement costs. The machine adopts a 440kW balanced power solution, a lightweight 98-ton body, and 0.155MPa ultra-low pressure tracks, balancing convenient underground transport and the ability to traverse muddy floors. It covers multiple cutting heights from 3.2 to 5.2 meters and can be adapted to various working faces, including roadways and development roadways, reducing the cost of idle equipment in mines. It is a high-performance, cost-effective main roadheader solution for medium-hardness rock formations.

A 280kW cutting motor paired with a 160kW oil pump motor provides powerful rock-breaking capabilities. Ultra-low pressure tracks (0.155MPa) reduce vibration and impact. The entire machine body is constructed of Q460 high-strength steel, increasing fatigue strength by 30% and reducing the likelihood of deformation and cracking under prolonged high-vibration conditions.
* Focusing on medium- to long-term continuous tunneling in mines with pressures up to 100MPa, the design features specialized structural optimizations to address four common industry problems: cutting bolt breakage, spline wear, cantilever oil leakage, and machine body fatigue cracking. It balances the high investment required for high-power models with the insufficient rigidity of lighter equipment, emphasizing long service life and low failure rate, minimizing downtime during mine overhauls.
* A composite locking cutting head, paired with 48 layered wear-resistant tooth seats, internal lubrication splines, and double-layer floating seals, provides triple protection, significantly extending the service life of the cutting assembly.
* A 300m³/h star wheel shovel paired with a 348m³/h scraper conveyor eliminates the need for manual crushing of large rocks; the entire chute is reinforced with wear-resistant alloy welding, ensuring long-term durability in high-gangue production faces and reducing conveyor maintenance frequency.
* Multiple safety interlocks including personnel electronic fences, gas monitoring, and full-area emergency stop; 23 fault algorithms monitor motor, oil temperature, and pressure anomalies in real time, with thousands of fault records stored for rapid troubleshooting, preventing minor issues from escalating into lengthy overhauls.
* Remote digital management saves manpower for underground inspections; personnel can check unit operating status anytime via mobile phone, eliminating the need for frequent underground trips; modular, step-by-step intelligent upgrades allow for future technical modifications with only module additions.

Cutting Section: Core of Hard Rock Breaking
1. Patented Cutting Head Design
The cutting head is equipped with 48 high-strength patented tooth seats, resulting in a more scientific tooth distribution, improving rock breaking efficiency by 35% and wear resistance by 50% compared to traditional models.
The cutting head features anti-detachment tooth seats, reducing tooth wear and downhole replacement frequency.
The cutting head connection method is optimized, using one M36 high-strength bolt with three side locating pins for assistance, effectively mitigating the risk of bolt breakage.
2. Reinforced Cantilever Section
The internal structure is reinforced to withstand greater axial and eccentric loads generated by hard rock impact, solving the persistent problems of bearing wear, oil leakage, and high temperatures in traditional models under hard rock conditions.
The floating seal uses a double-layer leak-proof and dust-proof seal, significantly improving seal life and reducing oil leakage failures.
Machine Body and Structure: High-Strength and Durable Design
Material Upgrade: The entire frame is made of Q460 high-strength alloy steel (replacing traditional Q345), increasing structural strength by 35% and significantly enhancing fatigue resistance.
Low Center of Gravity and Wide Span: The wide body and low center of gravity provide strong stability when cutting hard rock, reducing the risk of cutter skipping and ensuring cutting accuracy and operational safety.
Wear-Resistant Chute Treatment: Key chute parts are reinforced with wear-resistant alloy welding or wear-resistant plates, doubling the service life compared to ordinary models.
Mechanical Collision Protection: Mechanical collision protection devices are added to the shovel and cutting sections to prevent accidental collisions and damage to the star wheel drive and cutting arm.
Hydraulic System: Highly Efficient and Stable Operation
Utilizes a load-sensitive multi-way valve, ensuring precise hydraulic system response, smooth operation, and lower energy consumption.
Centralized lubrication of key components facilitates easier downhole maintenance; external hydraulic refueling pump makes downhole refueling operations safer and more efficient.
