MINETEK Pty Ltd products

Bulkhead fans are often a costly part of mine development due to the number of units required, the loss of efficiency, and the cost of install. These factors can heavily impact economic returns. MINETEK can more than halve the amount of fans required on bulkheads fans. Their smaller size, lighter design and durable impeller not only allows for easier installation, but a robust fan suitable for harsh underground environments. Synchronise bulkhead fans with MINETEK`s Performance On Demand (POD) and Mine Air Control (MAC) system, so they work in unison to create the ideal air flow. Stop inefficient power wastage, stalling and duct friction with MINETEK.

MINETEK has extensive experience in delivering ventilation solutions in some of the world`s most challenging civil tunnelling industries and underground projects. A constant in any major civil infrastructure project is the need to ensure all deliverables meet the required specification and are delivered on time and within budget.

Keep additional fan installations and mid-project shutdowns to a minimum, with MINETEK`s Secondary Auxiliary fans. MINETEK`s Secondary Axial fans are compact in size; 40% shorter and 10% lighter than standard fans with a low-profile ducting, which makes installation easy. The high pressure capability of MINETEK`s High Output (HO) axial fan is more than double of standard fans of comparable size. This results in less fans needed overall. Benefit from a plethora of additional features, from Australian engineering, automation, syncronisation between fans and full control from the surface. MINETEK`s secondary fans / auxiliary fans are available as both impulse bladed and vane axial versions.

MINETEK`s mine air control (MAC) system seamlessly integrated with the operating layer of the mine to optimise airflow across the entire air circuit. With the ability to ramp airflow up and down based on scheduling and vehicle movements identified by using RFID trackers. Our mine ventilation control system enables seamless operation with the ability to control from above the mine`s surface.

Primary or major fan selection is critical to the success of underground mines, as correct ventilation is key for production and energy efficiency. Ventilation alone contributes 42-49% of a typical mine’s energy cost. MINETEK’s innovative engineering and premier quality fans have resulted in world-first features that can deliver economic savings, durability and flexibility not achieved with traditional fans. The primary ventilation system ensures adequate airflow in mines by providing suitable paths for air to flow down the mine and out. Primary or main mine ventilation fans are also known as surface fans because they can also be installed at the surface of the mine (or entrance) or deep below ground level.
