Ventilation on Demand

Minetek's Ventilation on Demand (VOD) systems revolutionises airflow management in underground environments, prioritising efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Designed to adapt to real-time conditions, our systems ensure optimal airflow while minimising energy consumption, resulting in significant operational savings and enhanced safety protocols.

Performance on Demand (POD) system

At the heart of our Ventilation on Demand solution lies the Performance on Demand (POD) system. Unlike traditional Variable Speed Drive (VSD) control methods, our POD system offers unparalleled flexibility and responsiveness without the need for complex VSD setups. Operators can customise pressure and power consumption on the fly, tailoring ventilation to meet specific operational needs without compromising on efficiency or safety.

Seamless integration, maximum efficiency

Our Ventilation on Demand systems integrate a range of sensors and feedback mechanisms to control ventilation equipment with precision. Factors such as vehicle and personnel locations, RFID tracking data, air quality, pressure sensors, and time schedules are all taken into account to optimise airflow in real-time. By coordinating the operation of different fans and doors, our systems ensure efficient airflow distribution throughout the mine, minimising energy waste and maintaining safe working conditions.

Robust reliability, underground intelligence

Minetek's Ventilation on Demand systems place intelligence close to the actual equipment underground, ensuring maximum reliability and robustness in harsh mining environments. This distributed intelligence enables seamless control from the surface, empowering operators with real-time insights and responsive ventilation management.

Beyond VSD & VFD

While traditional Variable Speed Drives (VSD) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) offer some level of ventilation control, our Ventilation-on-demand systems provide a superior alternative. By eliminating the complexities and limitations associated with VSD and VFD setups, our systems deliver unmatched efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in ventilation management.
