The shearers have been bought by Linyi Coal.
Linyi is targeting 30 million tonnes of coal for 2012, which would increase its annual coal production by 500% in five years.
The company is operating seven mines and plans to open another five over coming years.
The Linyi shearer loader orders take Eickhoff’s fleet of shears to 27 units operating in the Inner Mongolian region.
Eickhoff has 168 SL shearers in China.
