Muck Handling
AssemblyCarries the broken rock from the cutterhead to the tunnel's haulage. The buckets drop it into the muck chute, the machine conveyor carries it through the main beam, and the backup conveyor takes it to a continuous tunnel conveyor or to rail muck cars. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
