No-sweat exca­vating

Centrifugal fans from ebm-papst work in the giant mining exca­va­tors made by the Russian company IZ-Kartex. An appli­ca­tion where their reli­a­bility and dura­bility come in handy.


One feels pretty small next to one of the enor­mous mining exca­va­tors made by the Russian company IZ-Kartex. The gigantic machines are used in surface mining to extract valu­able minerals from the ground, digging with shovels that have a capacity of up to 15 cubic meters. Air condi­tioners from Dokon cool the cabins of the yellow behe­moths so their drivers don’t have to work up a sweat during a hard day’s work.

Centrifugal fans from ebm-papst convey the air from the air condi­tioner to the oper­ator. Their reli­a­bility and dura­bility contribute to one of the most impor­tant aspects of the exca­va­tors: their low life-cycle costs.
