The fundamental difference between fully mechanized mining and conventional mining is that

It lies in the difference of coal mining method and application scope.

Fully mechanized mining adopts mechanized equipment to directly mine coal underground, which has high efficiency and low cost of manpower and material resources, and is suitable for coal exploration areas with wide coal mining area and good geological conditions of coal seam. Conventional mining is a traditional perceptual mining, which uses manual or mechanical mining of open-pit or underground coal, and is suitable for coal mining areas with complex mining conditions such as small coal seam mining area and large terrain change.

Conventional mining is a traditional mine mining method, which uses manual or mechanical methods to dig coal out of the coal seam in the open air or underground, and then transports and processes it through transportation equipment.
