Shaft Top Bend Design

Precision engineering for optimal ventilation control

At Minetek, we understand the critical importance of maintaining efficient and safe ventilation systems in mining operations. Our Shaft Top Bend solutions are designed to meet the highest standards of performance and durability, ensuring a seamless and effective ventilation process.

90-degree shaft top bend:

Ideal for applications requiring a tight turn, effectively directing airflow without creating large open holes. This design prevents rain ingress and safeguards tunnel integrity.

45-degree shaft top bend:

This option is perfect for scenarios where dust avoidance is crucial or where the bend is located near a road. It minimizes dust pickup while maintaining effective airflow.

Enhanced protection:

Our Shaft Top Bend solutions offer superior protection against environmental elements. By eliminating the risk of rain entering the tunnel, they ensure uninterrupted operations and prolong the lifespan of your infrastructure.

Optimised for performance

Despite a small pressure loss of approximately 150 Pascals associated with the Shaft Top Bend, our advanced ventilation fans are specifically engineered to overcome this minor drawback. This ensures consistent and reliable airflow, maintaining optimal ventilation conditions.
