SYNCRONISED EFFICIENCY

Bulkhead Fans

BULKHEAD FANS: DURABILITY AND EFFICIENCY YOU CAN TRUST

Bulkhead fans are often a costly part of mine development due to the number of units required, the loss of efficiency, and the cost of install. These factors can heavily impact economic returns.

Minetek can more than halve the amount of fans required on bulkheads fans. Their smaller size, lighter design and durable impeller not only allows for easier installation, but a robust fan suitable for harsh underground environments.

Synchronise bulkhead fans with Minetek's Performance On Demand (POD) and Mine Air Control (MAC) system, so they work in unison to create the ideal air flow. Stop inefficient power wastage, stalling and duct friction with Minetek.

Our Capabilities

Primary Ventilation Fans

Minetek can supply the largest available fans for main fan ventilation. Innovative engineering and premier quality have resulted in world first features like Minetek's Performance on Demand (POD) controls. Experience power saving, durability and flexibility not achieved with traditional fans.

Secondary Auxiliary Fans

Keep additional fan installations and mid-project shutdowns to a minimum, with Minetek's auxiliary fans. Compact in size , while the high pressure capability results in less fans needed for the development. Benefit from automation, syncronisation and control from the surface.

Booster Fans

Strategically optimise underground air flow with Minetek. Primary fans can be installed as a booster fan for both return and intake airways and provide all the Minetek advantages. Additionally, Minetek's fans can sequence with the main ventilation, and anti-stall features, making it a reliable choice for booster ventilation.

Multiple Heading Ventilation

Improve project performance by using Minetek ventilation solutions for multiple heading ventilation. Reduce operating costs, and decrease work required for installation with Minetek's high output fans.

Bulkhead Fans

Synchronise bulkhead fans with Minetek's Performance On Demand (POD) and Mine Air Control (MAC) system. Halve the amount of fans required, and stop inefficient power wastage, stalling and duct friction with Minetek.

Long Duct Runs

The concentrated power of Minetek's High Output (HO) Axial Fans, makes them the ideal solution for long duct runs. With more than twice the pressure capacity of a standard bladed axial fan, less fans are needed throughout the development.

Tunnel Fans

Minetek's low profile fan provides additional clearance between ventilation ducts and loaded vehicles, making them the ideal industrial ventilation solution for tunnels. Improve safety, save power, and achieve maximum performance with Minetek.

Development Fans

Utilise Minetek's Pressure, Power, Performance on Demand (POD) system throughout development and reap the economic benefits. Control from the surface, and only use the air pressure and power you need at each stage of the development. Minetek's fans will grow with your project.

Mine Air Control (Mac)

The Mine Air Control (MAC) system, in conjunction with the fans Performance on Demand (POD) technology enables synchronization of both the primary and secondary ventilation fans to increased performance, economic benefits, and efficient use of power. Control the ventilation system remotely for ideal performance from the surface.

MINETEK provides quality, proven solutions and are established as leading air attenuation specialists.

We are always looking at new innovations and technologies that will benefit both us and our clients. Minetek has been able to display that with the use of their modern ventilation technology, where we can look to see production increases through faster re-entry times and reduced capital costs in the total life of the development, delivering value to both us and Mincor.

Pit N Portal CEO

After investigating a raft of different methods from sprinkler systems through to desalination systems (too costly for little benefit) we decided on the MINETEK WATER units. The evaporators were easy to install and once activated ran trouble free. We were very happy with the service from MINETEK and the reliability of the system.
