The invention relates to a lateral type double-drum opencast 
machine. The lateral type double-drum opencast 
machine comprises a crawler walking mechanism, a main frame, operating chambers, a hydraulic 
system, an electrical 
system, spiral drum 
cutting mechanisms, scraper conveyers and a belt reversed 
loader, wherein the crawler walking mechanism is mounted on the lower side of the main frame; the operating chambers, the hydraulic 
system and the electrical system are mounted on the upper side of the main frame; the spiral drum 
cutting mechanisms are mounted on the left side of the main frame; the belt reversed 
loader is mounted on the right side of the main frame; a front spiral drum 
cutting mechanism is mounted at the front end of the left side of the main frame, and a rear spiral drum cutting mechanism is mounted at the rear end of the left side of the main frame; a front scraper conveyer is mounted at the front end of the left side of the main frame, a rear scraper conveyer is mounted at the rear end of the left side of the main frame, and a middle scraper conveyer is transversely arranged, so that materials are conveniently conveyed to the belt reversed 
loader on the right side of the main frame. The lateral type double-drum opencast 
machine can mine 
coal seams of opencast 
coal mines continuously and efficiently, can avoid intermediate links such as explosion, crushing and the like and is a safe and efficient open pit 
coal mine continuous miner.
