Anti-Stall Technology

At Minetek, we understand the critical importance of uninterrupted operation and peak productivity in demanding underground environments. That's why our anti-stall technology stands as a beacon of innovation, meticulously engineered to prevent fan performance fluctuations and extend the operating range of ventilation equipment.

Our Innovative Anti-stall Technology Feature

Cleverly designed chamber that effectively controls the fan’s airflow, capturing turbulent airflow like stall pockets and unstable pre-swirls before they can disrupt fan operation. This proactive approach eliminates critical stalls and optimises the fan’s overall performance across its entire operational curve.

Proactive Stall Prevention

As the fan approaches its maximum speed and pressure, traditional systems may experience stall conditions, leading to performance degradation or equipment failure. However, Minetek’s anti-stall technology intervenes before stalls occur. Stall pockets, which can compromise fan efficiency and safety, are captured and redirected into the anti-stall chamber before being retrained into the airway. This innovative process delays stalls, allowing for higher peak pressure and lower flow rates without triggering a state of stall.

Key benefits: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency

The benefits of our anti-stall technology are manifold. By preventing stalls and maintaining optimal fan performance, our system ensures uninterrupted airflow even in challenging conditions. For example, in the event of increased system resistance due to factors such as a parked truck underground in a heading or rock falls choking the fan, our anti-stall chamber mitigates the risk of fan stalls and potential impeller damage. This enhances safety and safeguards valuable equipment, potentially saving mines significant costs associated with downtime and repairs.

Minetek's Anti-stall Technology Represents a Paradigm Shift

With underground ventilation, offering unmatched reliability, safety, and efficiency. By proactively addressing stall conditions and optimising fan performance, our innovative solution empowers mining operations to maximise productivity while minimising risks, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation even in the most challenging environments.
