Highest power density in the smallest of space: The Eickhoff SL 300 has been firmly established in the international market for over 20 years now. Designed as a mining machine for thin to medium-thick seams, it was upgraded time and time again with the latest innovations over the years. Its original cutter motor power was 2x220 kW, combined with 2x35 kW DC haulages. Thanks to its consistent further development, its power could meanwhile be increased to 2x480 kW for the cutter motors and to 2x90 kW for the AC haulage motors.

The great thing here is that even though the total installed power has been more than doubled since its early days, the original machine concept providing for compactness in size has been maintained. This was made possible by implementing state-of-the-art production techniques into the Eickhoff gearboxes and by using the meanwhile available, more efficient, smaller electrical components specifically designed for underground use. The Eickhoff SL 300 is in operation worldwide and consistently achieves production rates of 600,000 tons a month.
