Minetek’s underground fan division, Minetek Air, was commissioned to develop a Primary Booster Fan solution consisting of 2 x 1100kW fans. The full scope included removal of redundant equipment and installation of the new fans. This solution was an Australian first for a fan of this combined size and technology.
As part of the project, Minetek also provided the electrical equipment needed to power and control the ventilation solution. Minetek designed, manufactured and commissioned dual 1.1MW Fan Motor Control Centre (MCC) with custom pre-programmed PLC automation and an HMI interface. Minetek also supplied a Fan Starter.
