Equipment and systems for mining

Electrometal offers devices and systems intended for mining , encompassing solutions for communication, signaling, control, automation, monitoring, and power supply. This offering is intended for use in mining facilities, including those requiring explosion protection.

Within the category Mining Both individual devices and solutions that are part of larger technological systems are available. These include loudspeaker alarms, shutdown devices, intrinsically safe power supplies, meters, control devices, communication systems, and solutions for monitoring and supervising installation operation.

What mining equipment and systems does Elektrometal offer?

The offer includes, among others:

• signaling and communication devices – examples of this type of devices are SGK-10 Speakerphone Limit Signal , SG-10 Speakerphone and other devices intended to perform signaling and communication functions,

• switching devices – including loudspeaker alarms with a switch-off function and SW-10 Switch Box ,

• intrinsically safe devices – among others ZISD-15 Intrinsically Safe Dual Output Power Supply and LGMI-16 intrinsically safe teletechnical meter ,

• control and automation systems – among others SZS-17 Semaphore Management System and SCUP-17 Central Controller for Glass Devices ,

• monitoring and supervision systems - including SMARTVIEW System ,

• shaft communication systems – an example is SLS-15 Shaft Communication System ,

• wireless communication devices designed for specific working conditions, including headsets and mobile devices available in Elektrometal's offer.

This wide range of products stems from the diverse functions performed in mining facilities. Individual devices can be responsible for communication, signaling, control, power supply, or monitoring the operation of specific installation components. Therefore, the selection of a specific solution should be based primarily on its function, technical parameters, and the conditions in which it will be used.

Communication, signaling and control in mining

Communication and signaling systems constitute a crucial part of the technical infrastructure of mining facilities. They enable the transfer of information between employees and control stations and can interface with devices performing control or shutdown functions.

Elektrometal offers, among other things, loudspeaker alarms, shaft communication solutions, and devices designed for wired and wireless communication. A separate group comprises control systems used in the operation of mining equipment and installations.

An example of a solution intended for this type of applications is SLS-15 – Shaft Communication System The offer also includes SZS-17 Semaphore Management System and SCUP-17 – Central Controller for Glass Units , intended to implement specific control functions in mining installations.

Devices intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

Some of the equipment used in mining is intended for use in explosive atmospheres , where there are specific requirements regarding the design, security and parameters of the device.

In this case, the choice of solution should not be based solely on its function. The intended use of the device should also be taken into account, explosion protection markings and conditions at the place of use. In the mining industry, among others, group I equipment applies, referring to equipment intended for mines where methane or coal dust hazards may occur.

More information on this topic can be found in the materials ATEX markings – how to read them and select the right device , How to select devices for the EX zone and What is ATEX and where does it apply? .

Systems and solutions for mining plants

Elektrometal's offering for the mining industry includes not only the equipment available in the product catalog. The company also implements solutions related to construction and modernization of the infrastructure of mining plants , technological process control systems , automation , technological communication , monitoring and mining lighting .

Depending on the scope of the investment, solutions may include individual devices, interoperable systems, or components of larger technological installations. A detailed description of Elektrometal's activities in this sector is available on the website. Mining solutions .
