Pneumatic Drive – MineTrans Transport Machines
Pneumatic Drive in MineTrans Systems
Pneumatic drives used in Becker-Warkop shunting rail systems are proven, compact solutions designed for short-distance material transport in underground mining workings.
Thanks to their simple design, high reliability, and explosion-proof construction, these devices provide ideal support for shunting and auxiliary operations in methane and dust hazardous environments.
Friction and rack versions of pneumatic drives allow flexible adaptation to the type of track and operational requirements — from light service transport to precise manoeuvring of heavier longwall equipment components.
Features of MineTrans Pneumatic Drives
- Safe operation in EX zones – explosion-proof design suitable for methane and dust hazardous environments
- Simple and reliable design – pneumatic drive with minimal maintenance requirements
- Friction or rack drive – selectable depending on application and track profile
- Precise control – operation via a manual pneumatic control unit enables smooth speed regulation
- Low operating costs – no fuel or exhaust emissions, powered by compressed air
- Compact design – small dimensions and weight allow operation in confined spaces
- Durability and easy installation – pneumatic systems integrated into the frame ensure easy maintenance and high resistance to damage
Pneumatic Drive: Products
Becker MineTrans pneumatic shunting systems are robust, high-traction devices designed for service, installation, and transport applications.
Powered by compressed air (0.4–0.6 MPa), they ensure quiet and safe operation even in the most demanding mining conditions.
