By 2007, the Ross Hoists were 73 years old. Although they were left in pristine condition when the mine closed, they had remained unused for years. "They had to do a lot of work to get the hoists up and working again," said Todd Hubbard, a mechanical engineer at Sanford Lab who worked for Homestake in the 1990s.

Utility Hoist and Tugger. The hoists illustrated are two of a large variety available for underground duties. The single drum air hoist is extremely useful for such purposes as operating a skip in a winze or for pulling cars on an incline. This hoist can be equipped with column mounting and can be readily installed for the service required.

The friction hoist are mounted on the ground above the mine shaft, or at the top of the headframe. The Blair multi-rope hoist is a variation of the double-drum hoist. It is used in extremely deep shafts as the second drums cable are used to balance the primary load. Please contact us with you hoist shaft winch requirements.

This part 57 sets forth mandatory safety and health standards for each underground metal or nonmetal mine, including related surface operations, subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The purpose of these standards is the protection of life, the promotion of health and safety, and the prevention of accidents.

Mine hoists command systems are safety-related electrical control systems (SRECS) in the sense that they implement safety functions in order to maintain the safety of the controlled equipment. A safety function is a function of a machine whose failure can result in an immediate increase of the risk (ISO 12100, 2010).

1. DC MINE HOIST DRIVES 1.1. Ward-Leonard Control Method. Ward-Leonard method [4] for winder drive is traditionally very efficient and accurate wide range, speed control method at all operating conditions from no-load to full-load. The speed of the dc motor can be reversed by reversing the excitation of the dc motor.

The paper also discusses a case study of two mine hoists. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether or not GenRel can be applied for reliability analysis of mine hoists in real life., – Statistical testing methods are applied to examine the similarity between the predicted data set with the real-life data set in the same time period.

Since his first job in 1977 with Swedish mining company Boliden before joining ABB, Bengt Hedlund has spent more than 45 years developing world-renowned technologies focus on hoisting aftermarket and service that have made underground mining safer and more reliable. Bengt talks about hoists with enthusiasm, curiosity and care.
