Advanced ventilation systems

Minetek’s primary ventilation systems ensure adequate airflow by providing suitable paths for air circulation within the mine. These systems, comprising primary fans (also known as main fans), are capable of pumping fresh air into the mine while removing contaminated air. Our fans can be installed at the mine’s surface or deep below ground level in bulkhead applications, ensuring optimal ventilation regardless of the mine’s depth.

Essential for underground mining operations

Selecting the right primary fan is crucial for the success of underground mines, where ventilation is key to both production and energy efficiency. With ventilation accounting for 42-49% of a typical mine’s energy cost, our innovative engineering and top-tier quality fans deliver economic savings, durability, and flexibility that traditional fans cannot match.

Superior performance and return on investment

Minetek’s underground ventilation solutions offer unparalleled benefits over standard systems. Our technology can reduce power consumption costs by up to 56%, thanks to the POD system, which adjusts airflow according to mining activity. Coupled with the Mine Air Control (MAC) system, our fans automatically track vehicle movements and adjust airflow from the surface, synchronising the entire ventilation system for maximum efficiency.

Our primary ventilation fans guarantee a return on investment through power savings, durability, and flexibility. Engineered with the mining industry in mind, Minetek’s fans feature robust steel-fabricated impellers that operate at high pressures and ensure prolonged life, even in extreme conditions.
