Kaishan compressed air power for Australian mining
Mining is Australia’s biggest and most valuable industry with a wealth of mineral assets extracted every day for both export and a growing local manufacturing market.
Open cut and vast underground mines with kilometres of tunnels are located in remote regions in extremely harsh environmental and industry invoked conditions. Due to the inherent challenges and dangers of working deep underground where dusty and wet conditions exist, compressed air has proven to be the safest and most energy efficient source of power available.
Using compressed air as opposed to diesel or electric alternatives provides mini... more
