ACTOM Industry, known for its expertise in mine winder hoists within the ACTOM group, has expanded its portfolio. Leveraging its advanced power electronic drive, control, and switchgear technology, it ensures enhanced safety and protection in hazardous environments.
ACTOM Industry’s fire detection systems are rigorously tested and certified by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to meet the stringent criteria of SANS 1515 and are intrinsically safe for use in explosive atmospheres. This approval underscores the brand’s commitment to safety and quality.
The comprehensive range includes:
- Air velocity detectors
- Carbon monoxide detectors
- Methane detectors
- Particle smoke detectors
Exclusive ownership of critical detectors
In 2023, ACTOM Industry acquired sole ownership of the Safdy Air Velocity Detector and the Safdy Methane Detector, consolidating its position as the premier provider of safety solutions. This acquisition grants it exclusive rights to manufacture, market, and distribute these essential products.
Enhancing Mine Safety
Formerly known as the Safdy flow meter, the ACTOM Air Velocity Detector features a solid-state airflow sensor designed specifically for monitoring airflow rates in challenging environments typical of mining operations. Utilising the reliable VORTEX method, it ensures precise measurements independent of small particles, ensuring optimal performance even in dusty or high-moisture conditions.
Real-time monitoring for enhanced safety
In underground mining, proper air circulation is vital for safety. ACTOM’s Air Velocity Detector swiftly detects any decrease in airflow, alerting operators within seconds through SCADA systems. Housed in a robust metal enclosure, it withstands impacts during handling and minimises the effects of crossflow, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Proven performance in rigorous conditions
Extensively tested within the South African mining sector, its Air Velocity Detector has emerged as the top choice for underground applications. Boasting an impressive accuracy rate of approximately 89%, it remains unmatched in durability and precision. Its resilience against water mist and dust minimises maintenance demands, ensuring continuous safety in hazardous environments.
By providing cutting-edge solutions backed by unparalleled performance, ACTOM Industry reaffirms its commitment to safety and innovation in industrial settings.
