Claimed to supply fresh air and vents toxic gases from subterranean mines, the system is said to allow real-time analysis and control of the mine and ensure safer work environment.
The solution minimizes energy use by ventilating in the required areas of a mine, the company said.
Available in SmartBasic, SmartMid and SmartPerfect implementation levels, the SmartVentilation system can be upgraded from one version to the other.
ABB’s System 800xA controls the fans and their drives, which come in modular form, thereby allowing operators to easily control the ventilation system using a fixed or using mobile device.
ABB integrated mine automation global product manager Patrik Westerlund said: "The SmartVentilation is a state-of-the-art control solution for mine ventilation that was built to be easy to use and maintain during the lifetime of the mine."
