GUARANTEED TO PERFORM

INDUSTRY - PROVEN AIR MANAGEMENT

Minetek has decades of experience in helping industrial leaders achieve safe, reliable industrial air management flow in their operations. Our commitment to innovation and world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities have enabled clients the world over to achieve operational and economic excellence in underground metalliferous mining as well as in a range of civil tunneling and development projects.

With a broad range of primary, secondary, booster and bulkhead fan options leveraging Minetek’s Performance On Demand (POD) technology, we lead the way in building High Output (HO) axial and centrifugal air fans, guaranteed to drive down costs and increase profits.

Our global team is experienced in delivering solutions in the most challenging landscapes on the planet; providing full turn-key industrial air management ventilation solutions with dedicated engineering and project management resources committed to providing fast and efficient certification and installation.

Lightweight, robust and quieter than any other solution on the market, Minetek’s Australian made fans integrate with all proprietary Ventilation On Demand (VOD) systems and offer operators ultimate flexibility in air volume and pressure management, all without the need for costly Variable Speed Drives (VSD).

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.

I have used these evaporators very successfully at mine sites where I have worked in the past. They are an extremely reliable unit and worked above expectations in the environment where we had them set up. As for spray drift/mist this can be controlled by the weather monitoring systems that are available with the units. Additionally, how you set them up and the amount of fall you can achieve allows for more moisture to be stripped from the droplets]will greatly benefit your overall evaporation rates.

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.

Glencore International AG Global HME Category Manager

MINETEK initially provided products for heavy mobile equipment noise abatement at the New Acland Mine. These installations have been very successful and prompted the contracting of MINETEK to conduct a full mobile fleet and fixed plant noise monitoring assessment at the Acland mine site.

The relatively small fans allowed us to utilise our existing bulkhead, where we were severely limited by space, which allowed us to use our existing infrastructure and dramatically reduce downtime in the mine during the change out. The installation was completed safely... and allows us to scale our ventilation flow with their pressure on demand system to suit our production profile.
