drift ventilation fan

The drift ventilation fan is designed to move air along horizontal mine drifts or galleries, effectively displacing dust, fumes, and heat generated by equipment and blasting operations.

Featuring axial or small centrifugal impellers, this fan provides consistent airflow rates of 5,000–40,000 CFM at moderate pressures. Its durable housing and sealed motor assembly resist moisture and particulate ingress.

Integration with VFD controls allows adaptive airflow control, matching output to real-time conditions measured by airflow and gas sensors. This ensures compliance with ventilation standards while optimizing energy usage.

Installation and maintenance are streamlined via skid-mounted frames, quick-connect ducts, and split-casing designs, making the drift ventilation fan a versatile choice for advancing mine development headings.
