R-2000 roadheader is a machine designed to excavate galleries in section up to 43.1 m2, in rocks having a compressive strength up to 110 MPa.
The machine can operate in underground excavations without methane inflow, or in excavations with the methane hazard classified as “a”, “b” or “c” degree of methane explosion hazard or to “A” or “B” class of coal dust explosion, provided that the power supply is disconnected when the maximum methane concentration exceeds 2%. The R-2000 has a CE mark.
The R-2000 roadheader complies with the requirements of the following EU directives:
2006/42/EC – Machinery Directive
94/9/EC – Directive on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres (ATEX)
2004/108/EC – EMC Directive
