Primary Ventilation Fans

The primary ventilation system on a remote mine site is often the most overlooked part of the critical operating infrastructure. Fan downtime can severely reduce the mines production, not to mention the expense of on-site servicing. Similarly an incorrectly specified or poorly designed system can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional power consumption annually.

With more than 20 years experience in mine ventilation – Clemcorp Australia is the company to trust with engineering your mines ventilation solution.

Clemcorp Australia, through its agency arrangements with Howden, the worldwide leader in air handling technology, are able to represent a full range of primary ventilation solutions for your mine.

Whether it be a simple surface mounted fan, or a system consisting of multiple fans, cooling and switchgear, Clemcorp Australia have the solution for you.

Recently supplied permanent primary ventilation solutions include:-

• Ramelius Resources (WA) 2.5m 315kW Vertical Surface Fan and Starter
• OZ Mining (Tas) 2.26m diameter 315kW Vertical Surface Fan

Clemcorp Australia has also been heavily involved in the development of temporary primary vent systems for many years. Such solutions offer a bridge between the decision to purchase and the delivery of a primary vent fan. Delivery times from tender to delivery on large fan range from 6 to 12 months and a mine working under full capacity for this amount of time is costly and inefficient.

These temporary solutions are cost effective and fully flexible, with most components able to be recovered for use elsewhere at the termination of the temporary application.
