Minewinder

The performance of underground mines depends critically
on the capability of the hoisting equipment. The aim is
to increase this capability without endangering the
safety of persons during the transport in the shaft.
The capability of the hoisting equipment influences the
performance of underground mines.
And the demands placed on the hoisting motors and their
converters are enormous because the shaft is a
bottleneck, a location where as much as possible must be
transported as safely as possible, not only the conveyed
material and the equipment, but also human beings. The
maximum possible plant availability with the maximum
loading is thus critical for a smooth and economical
process in a hoisting plant.
With speeds up to 70 km/h, skips and other conveying
equipment are sent down and up again in each single
cycle. In particular, the approximately 15-second
acceleration phase and the smooth braking at the end of
the travel place extreme demands on the drive, control
and safety engineering.
In particular,
converters and their energy supply must provide
reserves beyond the rated power
the drive components must be constructed to prevent
motor overloading.
We ensure the highest safety and the improved throughput
in the shaft. This we achieve using innovative solutions
for the drive engineering, performance-optimizing
drive-level closed-loop controls and a safety-oriented
automation engineering.
We focus on the recommendation and implementation of the
appropriate drive system – adapted to the conditions of
the power supply system and tailored to your power
rectifier "philosophy". Our technological closed-loop
controls ensure the harmonious customization of the
travel behavior to the specific requirements of your
shaft system.
A standardized SIMATIC-based control and safety system (travel
controller) serves as basis for our solution. This means
all conceivable variations of drive and control systems
are technologically possible. The systems and components
of the SIMATIC S7 world have proven themselves millions
of times and are used daily in countless applications
across all industrial sectors. This also benefits our
control and safety system which is certified in Germany
in accordance with the stringent technical demands
placed on shaft and slope conveyors (TAS) and the mining
regulations (BVOS).
This provides the best prerequisites for high
productivity, availability, ease of maintenance and
safety underground.

Reduction of oscillations due to the use of
intelligent control algorithms brings increased
performance through shorter cycle times and lower
maintenance costs / increased availability as a result
of the careful treatment of the mechanical components
Intelligent travel control optimizes/reduces the
travel times
Maximum safety through the use of a redundant, tested
safety system
Investment protection through the use of standardized
industry components
