FIELD: mining.
SUBSTANCE: lining sections are connected to an expansion tensioner (ET) conveyor consisting of power cylinders. The lining is equipped with a control system performing data collection and storage and programming continuous concordance of holding force distribution along the breakage face and/or amount of holding forces along the breakage face (total holding force) and/or advancing force distribution along the breakage face at given conveyor position. It allows determining total holding force in respect to the maximum set for it, by ET number, affecting total holding force by axial force adjustment for separate ETs, or affecting total holding force depending on the position of at least one end conveyor section.
EFFECT: minimisation of expansion tensioner number and pressure feeding them at reduced cost.
