Economical Mine Door is
Easy to Install
The EcoVent door from American Mine
Door is specifically designed as an alternative
to traditional reusable underground
doors. According to the company, the new
design offers improved safety and durability
while addressing an industry challenged
with tighter operating constraints
and reduced budgets. EcoVent mine
doors use a patented opposing wing design
that utilizes equalized air pressure so
doors will not slam closed—significantly
reducing the potential for injuries. Door
wings are connected so when one wing is
opening the other wing also opens simultaneously
in the opposite direction, and
their corrugated panels minimize weight,
maximize strength and keep pricing affordable.
EcoVent doors can be installed
on either a 6 x 12 pitch or at 90°. Wing
assemblies are installed between the roof and the floor with adjustable telescopic
members that offer a 4-ft range. Safety
hooks that secure directly to the mine
roof are incorporated for additional safety.
The doors are claimed to be easily installable
without need of hardware or special
tools, and their lightweight design makes
it easy to move them for reuse throughout
years of service. Customers can specify
different control options as needed.
