Bestline Mining Supplies Ltd in March 2008 launched the use of Fabric Ventilation Seals within Zambia and the DRC. We offer a temporary (Protan) or permanent (Vent Flex) ventilation seal. These fabric seals are quick to construct and are significantly cheaper to the conventional concrete/brick ventilation seal. Our permenant Vent Flex Seal is able to withstand the harshest of environments underground and can withstand the shock of blasting underground.
BENEFITS OF PROTAN AND VENT FLEX SEALS
- Quick to install (takes about 4 to 5 hours for a 4m x 4m seal to be errected and secured)
- Minimal skilled work required in installation
- Cheaper and easier than traditional brick/concrete seals.
- Ability to provide some flexibility against primary and secondary blast concussion.
