STOWING OPERATIONS PERFORMING METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E21F15/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: method involves arrangement in worked out area of backfill material speed converter, supply to the well adjacent to the worked out area of subsequently loose and hardening backfill materials. Elastic closed cover with weight in its lower part and which is fixed on rope with hose is used as speed converter. The above cover is laid on dry backfill material layer; then, it is filled with compressed air till working pressure. Loose backfill material is supplied till the layer is filled with height not exceeding D diameter of cover. Then, hardening backfill material is supplied. Cover is lifted vertically through the height of new layer. Then, cycles for supplying of backfill materials and movement of cover are repeated till complete filling of the worked out area. Diameter D of cover in filled state is accepted equal to 0.2 B, where B is maximum linear size of the worked out area, m.

EFFECT: invention allows increasing distribution efficiency of fineness of backfill material and reducing the wear of speed converter.
