Primary Fans

Minetek's Raptor Series Primary Fan range can transform your mining operations, moving immense volumes of fresh air into your underground metalliferous mine, effectively diluting contaminants, and meeting air volume requirements with unmatched efficiency.

Unmatched ventilation souterraine

Engineered with the mining industry at the forefront, Minetek’s Raptor & Crusher series range is robust and reliable with a broad operating range. Our innovative patented impeller allows for operation at pressures previously thought impossible with prolonged life, in even the harshest of underground environments.

Performance driven by your needs

Minetek's fan performance range offers a broad spectrum of capabilities, ensuring consistent speed without the need for Variable Speed Drives (VSD). From zero load to full load, our fans deliver unparalleled performance with integrated POD systems, guaranteeing seamless operation without stalling.

Advanced power saving capabilities

Minetek’s powerful single-speed fans have been proven to reduce power consumption costs by up to 50% and improve underground mining ventilation systems, by providing the correct amount of airflow and pressure when and where it’s needed.

Modular fan design

Compared to traditional larger fans, Minetek’s compact units can outperform larger alternatives and then be re-deployed quickly and easily to other locations to meet the mine's evolving demands. Select your base needs and customise a solution to meet your LOM needs.

Anti-stall chamber

Cleverly controls the flow of air, eliminating critical stalls and extending operating range and overall performance.

Performance On Demand (POD)

Optimise performance and reduce power consumption for overall operational efficiency by tailoring pressure and power.

Customisable solutions meeting your site requirements

The Raptor Series Primary Fan comes with a variety of motor and size options tailored to your specific duty point requirements. Its robust, heavy-duty construction guarantees wear resistance, durability, and longevity, even in the harshest mining environments. The accessible design facilitates easy servicing and maintenance, minimising downtime and maximising productivity.

Innovative features for optimal performance.

Minetek’s Raptor Series is not just a fan; it’s a comprehensive ventilation solution. Customise your fan with optional features such as the Performance on Demand (POD) mechanism for flexible airflow control, and the anti-stall chamber to prevent operational disruptions. Configuration options are versatile, including surface mounting, horizontal mounting, and bulkhead mounting to suit various installation needs.

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.
