With over 18 years experience, CST Composites have put all of their knowledge and experience into developing the next generation of lightweight, tough, durable, and high performance ventilation mining ducts for underground applications.
The CT Mining duct has been tested to ensure they meet the requirements for flame retardant and anti-static properties (FRAS certification: complies with MDG3006 MTR8, 4.4a).
Lightweight and safe, CST mine ventilation ducts are designed for ease of use when carrying and handling to minimise injuries and installation time.
The CT Mining ventilation duct is produced by filament winding carbon fibre using a patented design. The ducts are therefore extremely light compared to traditional fibreglass ducts and far more damage tolerant.
It can be common for many mines to spend almost the same cost as the purchase price of a ventilation duct on repair and maintenance per year! In the current economic climate, this saving in OPEX spend is extremely valuable. When a duct is damaged, it consumes valuable man hours and vehicle runs on bringing the duct above-ground for repair (which normally occurs off-site) and then returning it back to service. Also, every time a duct is repaired, it becomes heavier, which defeats the purpose of having a light weight duct!
Avoid this situation by using a CT Mining ventilation duct.
The product is compatible with existing fibreglass 610 and 762mm ID ventilation ducts, including Velcro and chain support harnesses.
Other features and benefits include:
- Strong and stiff – meets the requirements of long runs and high capacity fans
- Integrated handles (no fixings on internal surface)
- Reinforced ends for increased toughness
- ISO 9001 certified manufacturing
- Range of fittings available
