The ELGi air compressors are industrial-grade steel and have a powder-coated canopy for corrosion protection and durability. Our trolley-mounted and skid-mounted air compressors offer maximum operational efficiency and profitability. ELGi also provides custom-built models to the mining operations based on user preference.
Use of Compressors in Mining
The mining industry is among the most extensive industries globally. The extraction of several minerals, gemstones, coal, metals, clay, etc., depends on the mining operations. The industrial air compressors by ELGi offer high-quality performance and reliability to power drilling and piling machinery, material conveyors, pneumatic tools, and ventilation systems. Mining air compressors are used for surface and below the surface mining. Choosing a reliable air compressor that can handle the demanding requirements of the mining industry and work efficiently in tight spaces and the midst of dust and debris is vital.
THE COMMON MINING APPLICATIONS FOR COMPRESSED AIR INCLUDES:
- Pneumatic Tools – Compressed air acts as an energy source to power pneumatic tools such as hack saws, drills, and wrenches used in the mines.
- Blasting – High velocity compressed air offers a safer medium during blasting operations.
- Material handling – Coal dust and other materials can be handled more efficiently when mixed with compressed air, allowing fluidization. Compressed air is also used in conveying material in mining.
- Cleaning – Compressed air is used for cleansing unwanted particles from filters and other spaces amid the dirt and dust during the mining operation. It is a clean air source and can be used effectively without additional cleaning materials. Compressed air for cleaning can help with the longevity of critical mining equipment and reduce any downtime required for maintenance.
- Ventilation Systems – Compressed air helps provide ventilation to deep mine tunnels. Compressed air is a safe and breathable air source in unsafe mining environments. Additionally, displacement blowers can also utilize compressed air systems for ventilation.
- Extraction of Methane Gas– Methane gas build-up in a mine can be fatal. The probability of a static electric spark igniting methane and breathing the gas is dangerous for the miners. The compressed air systems adequately fitted and designed for use in hazardous environments can help extract the methane gas through blowers and vacuum pumps during coal mining operations.
