In the paper a discussion referring to run-of-mine load process by worm cutting drum was presented. Mechanism of load process with the use of worm cutting drum was described, and relationships meeting of which have a great impact on proper and effective loading process were given. Values, which influence the process were not determined, and parameters, which amounts and method of selection were specified on the basis of empirical studies, were deter- mined. In order to verify their impact on loading process, efficiency guidelines for laboratory tests on loading process were formulated, and a conception of design of test stand was presented. Realization of tests will enable to specify guidelines for a selection and design of worm cutting drums in the future, taking into account a proper and effective loading process.
