“We have sealing specialists that speak Chinese, German, Spanish, and, of course, English available for dispatch to help longwall operations with seal problems regardless of their location or language requirements,” said EPM's managing director Jerry Whitlock, also known as the Seal Man.

Whitlock said EPM had developed a sealing system that could combat the multiple problems encountered by longwall legs, props and rams.

The company will be launching a dedicated website link for seals related to the longwall industry at

EPM will have a booth at the coal exhibition in Beijing in October.
