Portable Heaters
How are portable heaters used in the mining industry?
Since 1945, portable heaters from Aerotech Herman Nelson International have been a staple for providing reliable, maximum capacity heat in all types of mining from open pit, or cut mining, to underground and surface mining. In the mining industry, it is vital to supply employees with a temperature-controlled environment to maximize efficiency and productivity. Due to the space and location of the workplace, indirect portable heaters are used to deliver 100% breathable, dry heated air into mining sites. The use of these high volume portable heaters insures that the proper infrastructure is established within the active areas of the mine and that mining processes are uninterrupted. Aerotech Herman Nelson portable heaters are used worldwide as ideal solutions from the smallest jobs to the most challenging jobs in the mining industry.
Different types of mining present different challenges and issues and require different types of portable heaters. Aerotech Herman Nelson has a vast inventory of rugged portable heaters available to meet the challenges of these varied mining methods even in extremely cold conditions. Some of our portable heaters can provide up to 5,000,000 BTU per unit and are stackable from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 BTUs allowing a scaleable solution for your mining project, no matter the size.
BT400-46 Portable Heater
Throughout the world, portable heaters, commonly the Aerotech Herman Nelson BT400 [Photo] series, are used by mining companies like Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Company and Vale Inco. These powerful indirect fired portable heaters pump massive volumes, or CFM (cubic feet per minute), of 100% breathable heated air into the mine shafts. This heat can be forcefully vented into the far recesses of a site via 1000' or more of flexible ducting, adaptable to specific requirements. Since many areas of the mines are constantly changing temperatures, some Aerotech Herman Nelson portable heaters are equipped with a remote thermostat to effectively monitor temperature control to provide comfortable and safe working environments. Whatever your portable heating requirements might be, we have the best solution and all of Aerotech Herman-Nelson indirect-fired portable heaters are CSA certified and UL approved. At Aerotech Herman Nelson, we proudly offer the hugest inventory of a wide variety of portable heaters and accessories and can ship most orders the next day.
