Unmatched underground ventilation
Engineered with the mining industry at the forefront, Minetek’s Raptor & Crusher series range is robust and reliable with a broad operating range. Our innovative patented impeller allows for operation at pressures previously thought impossible with prolonged life, in even the harshest of underground environments.
Performance driven by your needs
Minetek's fan performance range offers a broad spectrum of capabilities, ensuring consistent speed without the need for Variable Speed Drives (VSD). From zero load to full load, our fans deliver unparalleled performance with integrated POD systems, guaranteeing seamless operation without stalling.
Advanced power saving capabilities
Minetek's powerful single-speed fans have been proven to reduce power consumption costs by up to 50% and improve underground mining ventilation systems, by providing the correct amount of airflow and pressure when and where it's needed.
Modular fan design
Compared to traditional larger fans, Minetek's compact units can outperform larger alternatives and then be re-deployed quickly and easily to other locations to meet the mine's evolving demands. Select your base needs and customise a solution to meet your LOM needs.
Anti-stall chamber
Cleverly controls the flow of air, eliminating critical stalls and extending operating range and overall performance.
Performance On Demand (POD)
Optimize performance and reduce power consumption for overall operational efficiency by tailoring pressure and power.
Underground ventilation, engineered to perfection
Exceed ESG goals by utilizing forward-thinking ventilation solutions that save OPEX over the entire Life Of Mine. Innovative engineering has resulted in world-first features like Minetek's Performance-on-demand (POD) controls, enabling metalliferous mines to experience power savings, durability, and flexibility not achieve with traditional fans.
Minetek's Mine Air Control (MAC) system, in conjunction with the fan's Performance on Demand (POD) technology, seamlessly integrates with the mine's operating layer to optimise airflow across the entire air circuit, providing the correct amount of airflow when and where required. With the ability to ramp airflow up or down based on scheduling and vehicle movements and remotely control the entire ventilation system from the surface, our fan offers true mine ventilation on demand.
Primary fans
Main ventilation systems provide airflow in and out of underground mines. Minetek's primary fans are a durable and flexible solution that enables operational efficiency.
Secondary fans
A single secondary fan can ventilate long duct runs up to 200m in length. Keep additional fan installations and mid-project shutdowns to a minimum, with Minetek's secondary ventilation fans.
Booster fans
Optimise airflow with Minetek’s Booster Fans, used to reduce pressure from the primary fan and provide the air flow and pressure required for deep underground mining operations.
Raptor Series Fans
Choose from a range of motor and size options based on your duty point. The heavy-duty construction of the Raptor Series Fan ensures wear resistance, durability and longevity in even the toughest mining environments, whilst the accessible design allows for easy servicing and maintenance.

Experience the Minetek difference
Minetek’s Performance On Demand (POD) technology allows operators to tailor pressure and power consumption without the need for VSDs. The fan’s vane inlets control the POD system, adjusting the vent flow and power usage. The result is a seamless, responsive solution that optimises performance, reduces power consumption costs, and increases overall operational efficiency.
Challenging the status quo in underground ventilation with anti-stall technology
Our innovative anti-stall chamber cleverly controls the flow of air, capturing turbulent airflow and unstable pre-swirls. The technology not only eliminates critical stalls but has been proven to extend the operating range and overall performance of the fan across the entire curve.
