Shaft hoisting solutions for reliable and safe product transport
Our tailor-made systems for shaft hoisting and customized solutions for mining conveyor technology are reliable, providing greater efficiency through optimized speed control and maximum safety standards. Discover our range of tailor-made Voith shaft hoisting systems, ensuring reliable and safe product transport and material transport from underground to above ground or vice versa.
Process-optimized loading of mine cars for safe operation
Rail-guided mine car systems are a safe and space-efficient transportation method in underground mining operations. Mine cars transport products as well as materials in the shaft. High safety standards prevail in mine car operation thanks to guided and pre-defined movements of the mine cars with Voith TurboHoist Decking Devices.
Our products allow precise and reliable wagon movement in the shaft area and onto and off the hoist.
Benefits and uses
Fast loading and unloading of the cage using a double-sided inset
Reduction of excavation costs using the switchback inset
The switchback inset handles mine cars on two rails on one side of the shaft, saving space and material costs
Safe passage for mine personnel onto and off the hoist
Turn-key solutions and customized design
On-site service and spare-part supply
Typical applications
Underground mining
Shaft hoisting
Key components of switchback inset with mine car circuit
The Voith TurboHoist Retractable Guide Rail was developed explicitly for guiding conveyor cages in mine shafts in a reliable, efficient, and safe manner. In mines with several floor levels, it enables a fast thoroughfare of the conveyor cage along the floor level. The unique Voith solution also significantly increases safety as there is no need to switch to a different guiding system in the floor area. Our technology allows the loading and unloading the conveyor cage across the entire opening. This way, our technology helps you increase capacity significantly.
Benefits and uses
4% - 5% higher conveying efficiency per floor level, thanks to higher speeds
Greater safety with continuous guidance, with no interruptions
In underground mining, products can be transported vertically to the surface via a shaft, using a skip. The Voith TurboHoist Skip Charger is used for the controlled, precise, reliable, and quick skip-loading features. Our technology and expertise involve planning, designing, and producing the entire system – from the hopper to the weighing conveyor with the transfer chute, gap reconciliation, and, ultimately, material transfer into the skip.
Benefits and uses
Optimally matched to the mining environment
Increased productivity, as all processes are perfectly coordinated
Minimized operating costs by avoiding system shutdowns and startups
Planning, engineering and manufacturing of complete systems from hopper to skip
Typical applications
Decking in underground mining
Operating principle – Interaction of skip charger key components
Used to store coal and other bulk materials, the Voith TurboHoist Hopper Discharger permits controlled material extraction from the hopper to the subsequent means of transport; more importantly, our hoppers are known for their reliability and long product lifetimes. Proper planning and sizing of the hopper and its discharger to reflect the flow behavior of the bulk material is essential for trouble-free operation. Based on our extensive experience in mining, we individually design hoppers and hopper dischargers that are ideally matched to the conveyor environment. This customized approach ensures smooth material transport and high productivity for your system.
Benefits and uses
Smooth material transport
Controlled material withdrawal
Optimum matching to the flow behavior of the material
High availability due to long lifetime
Typical applications
Both underground and open-cast mining and other industries
