Test Safe – Londonderry NSW

This project involved the supply of a replacement fan & inlet box for a test rig for mining equipment for Test Safe Australia, at Londonderry Penrith NSW. There were no records of fan duty and motor size and the fan was considerably larger than any we had previously made.

FBA produced a fan curve depicting volume, PA and absorbed power for the original fan. Updated features included:

  • Fan casing & inlet box were 6mm plate
  • All components (other than impeller) were HDG
  • Expansion joints between inlet box & existing duct
  • Original fan removed from site and new fan re-assembled on site
  • New electric switchboard

Draglines

FBA were approached by Dragline to manufacture and supply centrifugal fans to ventilate equipment located at a mine near Mackay QLD. FBA calculated the fan duty and fan selection.

We have provided fans for several dragline projects with different manufacturers and our expertise is now sought in this area.

Features of the completed fans include:

  • Large supply air fans – 90kW motors
  • Eight fans situated on the roof of the Dragline.
  • Air drawn through Dynavane (to extract dust and grit)
  • 2 centrifugal bleed air fans (up to 2000 pa) for Dynavane to extract grit
