5. It is established that for the hydromechanical method of breakage the use of the disc<br />

cutter with one-sided wedge rim instead of cutting instruments provides for a reduction in<br />

specific energy consumption for the mechanical breakage by 1.5-2 times.<br />

6. When the disc cutter is used together with a high velocity water jet to break a coal<br />

massif, then, as compared to the mechanical method of breakage with a disc cutter, the<br />

forces acting onto the disc cutter are reduced: the rolling force by 1 5-2 times, the<br />

forward force by 1.2-1.4 times and the side thrust by 2.7-4.4 times and the specific<br />

energy consumption by 1.9-2.2 times. Besides, the coal grade is improved and dust<br />

content in the air is reduced to the permissible concentrations. The efficiency of dust<br />

suppression is 99.7-99.8 per cent for the hydromechanical method of breakage.<br />
