Examination of hoist drum lining

the effective and safe operation of an underground mine, which
utilizes a mine shaft for transport and haulage. Thus, high safety and
quality standards apply to each element of the hoist, including the
winding machine. Therefore, it also concerns the lining of the
machine's drum. This element should be characterized by specific
parameters, such as hardness and the friction coefficient between
the rope and the drum lining. The following article presents a
procedure for the examination and results of tests conducted on
samples of drum lining provided by two different underground coal
mines. The aim of the research was to verify if the lining provided by
the mines and previously stored by them for many years complies
with the safety requirements and can be installed on the hoist drums.
Moreover, the results were verified by EDS tests.
