MineARC marketing manager Ben Johnson said IS scrubbing and cooling were both vital for ongoing life support.
“In emergency situations where miners and personnel are simply unable to exit a mine because escape routes are blocked, the CoalSafe refuge chamber is designed to provide a safe and secure stand-alone ‘go-to’ area that offers up to 96 hours safe refuge,” he said.
The company also plans to provide information about the recently released change-over station which was designed to facilitate self-escape.
“Stocked with up to 40 self-rescuers and a [compressed air breathing apparatus] quick-fill station, the COS has a walk-through layout to help miners and other personnel get out of the mine and out of harm’s way,” Johnson said.
MineARC cap lamps and rock-bolt cutters will also be on display at the expo which takes place on July 24-26 at Mackay Showgrounds, Queensland.
