GLS-36 diesel mine locomotive
Country: · Model: GLS-36
GLS-36 is a diesel locomotive for underground mines, built to Directives 2006/42/EC and 94/9/EC for group I, category M2. It runs in non-methane and methane fields, in workings of category a, b or c of methane explosion hazard. The methane concentration is 1.5 %, and the coal dust explosion hazard may be class A or B.

Description
The locomotive is rated for category M2 of group I equipment, meaning underground workings with an explosive atmosphere. The design follows two directives at once, the machinery one (2006/42/EC) and the one for equipment in explosive atmospheres (94/9/EC). A diesel drive needs no contact wire or cable reel along the track, so the route does not depend on electrification of the working. Operation is permitted in non-methane and in methane fields, which lets one machine type serve both kinds of mine. The workings may belong to category a, b or c of methane explosion hazard and to class A or B for coal dust.
How to choose
The directives and the category of the working decide the choice. Check the methane category of your mine, a, b or c, and the coal dust class, A or B, against the stated operating conditions, and make sure the methane concentration does not exceed 1.5 %. The source gives no tractive effort, speed or mass, so those figures have to be requested separately.

FAQ
Which mines is the GLS-36 locomotive approved for?
Underground mines, both non-methane and methane, in workings of category a, b or c of methane explosion hazard.
What methane concentration is permitted?
The stated operating condition is a methane concentration of 1.5 %. Check it against the category of your working before ordering.
Which directives does the GLS-36 follow?
Directives 2006/42/EC and 94/9/EC, for group I equipment of category M2.
What coal dust explosion class is allowed?
Class A or B of coal dust explosion hazard.
Why use a diesel locomotive in an underground mine?
A diesel machine does not depend on a contact wire, so it can go to workings without an electrified track. In methane mines it must still meet the explosion protection category stated above.
