Summary

Description

  • On the upper level, a minecart (mine car) is tipped over, and the coal is dumped into screens for sorting the coal pieces by size. The sorted sizes (labeled Slack, Nut, Lump and Run-of-Mine) fall through chutes to the appropriate railroad hopper car.
  • The height of each chute is adjustable to accommodate hopper cars of various heights.
