Development History

In 1984, ZMJ’s type ZY35 “Songshan” hydraulic support won the silver medal of National Quality Product Selection. It is not only China's first hydraulic support crowned with such honor, but also the country's biggest home-made hydraulic support put into mass production.

In 1984, The type FY2800/14/28 steep slope top coal caving hydraulic support developed by ZMJ for ultra-thick coal seam passed the ministerial appraisal, marking the beginning of China's mining operation on ultra-thick coal seam by longwall top coal caving method.

In 1985, ZMJ developed hydraulic support type PY400/17/35 which enables to lay bottom mesh and engage slice mining. It is known for the advantages including strong anti-torsion, structural stability, large button mash space, and auto mash-laying as well as its safe, time-conserving and labor-saving features.

In 1988, ZMJ developed type ZFD4000/17/30, a high-level top coal caving hydraulic support and related mining techniques. One year later, the support was appraised as China Top-notch Technology.

In 1989, the middle-level top coal caving hydraulic support designed and developed by ZMJ chalked up an annual output of 1 million tons for Yangquan Mining Bureau, which was later called “Yangquan Mode” by counterparts. It greatly boosted China's R&D on top coal mining techniques and equipment.

In 2001, on the request of Yanzhou Coal Mining Group, ZMJ designed and developed the type ZY6400/18/38 two-leg high-intensity shield hydraulic support. It represented the largest working resistance among all home-made products at the time, which was an important attempt to localize the reliable high-intensity hydraulic support.
