Mine water management can be achieved through water evaporation. Minetek’s water evaporators offer savings up to five times those of traditional water management methods.
Reduce noise on your mine site through sound attenuation. Our mining solutions have been proven to reduce noise by up to 50%.
Our underground ventilation solutions allow for faster re-entry times and have the capacity to reduce power consumption by up to 55%.

MINE WATER MANAGEMENT

Water management products in the mining sector are primarily used for processing minerals, slurry transportation, dust suppression and cooling processes. A sustainable water management solution is critical to maintaining long-term viable mining operations. Achieve true economic and environmental sustainability by managing process and produced water throughout the lifecycle of a mine site.

Minetek has developed a range of water evaporation, automated and integrated water management solutions, helping mining operators meet the expectations of their stakeholders. Our extensive range of water management products have been designed to meet the strictest water regulations whilst satisfying operational and community expectations. Our evaporators are used in a variety of applications, from excess water removal and tailings dam management to acid mine dewatering and toxic metal removal.

MINING SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE SOUND LEVELS

Minetek have successfully attenuated over 1,200 mining machine across more than 90 different OEM approved models. Our mining solutions have been proven to reduce noise by up to 50%, enabling mining industry operations to reduce potentially harmful safety impacts on operators and meet regulatory and community noise expectations.

We guarantee to meet expectations and deliver an accurate result with a 100% success rate across all sound attenuation packages. Our deep-domain experience in sound auditing and testing combined with our commitment to a consultative approach to solution delivery keeps your equipment moving quietly without compromising maintenance team accessibility, machine integrity, airflow, or operability.

UNDERGROUND VENTILATION SOLUTIONS

Minetek Air offers reliable underground ventilation solutions for mine sites across the globe. Since the advent of underground mining, there has been one constant in this most challenging underground pursuit; the safe, reliable supply of air in an underground mine ventilation system. While the pace and scale of mining in recent decades have accelerated with a range of enabling technologies, the effective management of air across underground mine workings has remained a primary concern for all mining operators.

Our mining solutions help ensure the critical supply of air underground, helping to deliver safe, reliable, environmentally and economically sustainable operations. With deep domain experience in delivering primary and secondary ventilation fans along with booster and intake fans, Minetek has developed its Performance On Demand (POD) technology to enable operators to effectively target airflow when and where it is needed within mine workings. This underground mine ventilation systems technology, coupled with extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities has enabled mines the world over the truly optimise airflow circuits which actively drive down power consumption costs and help improve overall mining profitability.

Air MINING SOLUTIONS

Primary Ventilation Fans

Minetek can supply the largest available fans for main fan ventilation. Innovative engineering and premier quality have resulted in world first features like Minetek's Performance on Demand (POD) controls. Experience power saving, durability and flexibility not achieved with traditional fans.

Secondary Auxilliary Fans

Keep additional fan installations and mid-project shutdowns to a minimum, with Minetek's auxilliary fans. Compact in size , while the high pressure capability results in less fans needed for the development. Benefit from automation, syncronisation and control from the surface.

Booster Fans

Strategically optimise underground air flow with Minetek. Primary fans can be installed as a booster fan for both return and intake airways and provide all the Minetek advantages. Additionally, Minetek's fans can sequence with the main ventilation, and anti-stall features, making it a reliable choice for booster ventilation.

Multiple Heading Ventilation

Improve project performance by using Minetek ventilation solutions for multiple heading ventilation. Reduce operating costs, and decrease work required for installation with Minetek's high output fans.

Bulkhead Fans

Synchronise bulkhead fans with Minetek's Performance On Demand (POD) and Mine Air Control (MAC) system. Halve the amount of fans required, and stop inefficient power wastage, stalling and duct friction with Minetek.

Long Duct Runs

The concentrated power of Minetek's High Output (HO) Axial Fans, makes them the ideal solution for long duct runs. With more than twice the pressure capacity of a standard bladed axial fan, less fans are needed throughout the development.

Tunnel Fans

Minetek's low profile fan provides additional clearance between ventilation ducts and loaded vehicles, making them the ideal industrial ventilation solution for tunnels. Improve safety, save power, and achieve maximum performance with Minetek.

Development Fans

Utilise Minetek's Pressure, Power, Performance on Demand (POD) system throughout development and reap the economic benefits. Control from the surface, and only use the air pressure and power you need at each stage of the development. Minetek's fans will grow with your project.

Mine Air Control (Mac)

The Mine Air Control (MAC) system, in conjunction with the fans Performance on Demand (POD) technology enables synchronization of both the primary and secondary ventilation fans to increased performance, economic benefits, and efficient use of power. Control the ventilation system remotely for ideal performance from the surface.
