Mine forcing axial flow local ventilation fans provide targeted air delivery to individual work faces or development headings, pushing fresh air where primary ventilation cannot reach directly.
Compact axial impellers generate flow rates between 5,000 and 30,000 CFM at moderate pressures up to 2 kPa. The fans mount on portable skids or fixed frames with quick-connect ducting for rapid redeployment as mining progresses.
Equipped with IE3 motors and optional variable frequency drives (VFDs), these fans allow on-demand ventilation, increasing airflow when diesel equipment or blasting operations occur, then throttling back to conserve energy.
Robust steel or composite housings, sealed bearings, and integrated monitoring simplify maintenance. Their use ensures regulatory compliance and safe operation in complex underground environments.
