Alimak Hek for the Mining Industry

The Alimak elevator is the perfect solution for underground as well as aboveground mining industry applications, such as pelletising plants, smelters, concentrators, and other ore processing plants.

The main wire rope hoist is suitable for carrying heavy loads at relatively fast speeds and is the primary means of vertical access for men and materials in an underground mine. Alimak rack and pinion elevators are ideally suited for providing the secondary, emergency vertical access required by mine safety regulations.

Alimak elevators are also used to provide a simple and economical means of connecting different levels further out in the tunnel system and for transporting men and material between the levels and the stopes. The elevator can be installed easily, and the cost is moderate because no machine room is needed.

At crushing plants, where the operator has to control feeders, bins, conveyors, etc., which are installed at different levels, the Alimak elevator may offer the best solution for rapid movement between levels.

Alimak Hek also supports in the construction of mining facilities with temporary vertical access solutions.
