TurboHoist Decking Devices

 

Process-optimized loading of mine cars for safe operation

Rail-guided mine car systems are a safe and space-efficient transportation method in underground mining operations. Mine cars transport products as well as materials in the shaft. High safety standards prevail in mine car operation thanks to guided and pre-defined movements of the mine cars with Voith TurboHoist Decking Devices. 

Our products allow precise and reliable wagon movement in the shaft area and onto and off the hoist.

Benefits and uses

  • Fast loading and unloading of the cage using a double-sided inset
  • Reduction of excavation costs using the switchback inset
  • The switchback inset handles mine cars on two rails on one side of the shaft, saving space and material costs
  • Safe passage for mine personnel onto and off the hoist
  • Turn-key solutions and customized design
  • On-site service and spare-part supply

Typical applications

  • Underground mining
  • Shaft hoisting

TurboHoist Retractable Guide Rail

 

Ensuring cost-effective and safe shaft transport

The Voith TurboHoist Retractable Guide Rail was developed explicitly for guiding conveyor cages in mine shafts in a reliable, efficient, and safe manner. In mines with several floor levels, it enables a fast thoroughfare of the conveyor cage along the floor level. The unique Voith solution also significantly increases safety as there is no need to switch to a different guiding system in the floor area. Our technology allows the loading and unloading the conveyor cage across the entire opening. This way, our technology helps you increase capacity significantly.

Benefits and uses

  • 4% - 5% higher conveying efficiency per floor level, thanks to higher speeds
  • Greater safety with continuous guidance, with no interruptions
  • Replaces standard slow-speed corner guiding

Typical applications

  • Shaft hoisting in underground mining

TurboHoist Skip Charger

 

Quick and accurate skip loading

In underground mining, products can be transported vertically to the surface via a shaft, using a skip. The Voith TurboHoist Skip Charger is used for the controlled, precise, reliable, and quick skip-loading features. Our technology and expertise involve planning, designing, and producing the entire system – from the hopper to the weighing conveyor with the transfer chute, gap reconciliation, and, ultimately, material transfer into the skip.

 

Benefits and uses

  • Optimally matched to the mining environment
  • Increased productivity, as all processes are perfectly coordinated
  • Minimized operating costs by avoiding system shutdowns and startups
  • Planning, engineering and manufacturing of complete systems from hopper to skip

Typical applications

  • Decking in underground mining

High availability and smooth material transport

Used to store coal and other bulk materials, the Voith TurboHoist Hopper Discharger permits controlled material extraction from the hopper to the subsequent means of transport; more importantly, our hoppers are known for their reliability and long product lifetimes. Proper planning and sizing of the hopper and its discharger to reflect the flow behavior of the bulk material is essential for trouble-free operation. Based on our extensive experience in mining, we individually design hoppers and hopper dischargers that are ideally matched to the conveyor environment. This customized approach ensures smooth material transport and high productivity for your system.

Benefits and uses

  • Smooth material transport
  • Controlled material withdrawal
  • Optimum matching to the flow behavior of the material
  • High availability due to long lifetime

Typical applications

  • Both underground and open-cast mining and other industries
