Secondary Ventilation Fans – Built for the Toughest Underground Challenges
At TLT-Turbo Australia, our secondary ventilation fans are designed for the realities of underground mining and tunnelling – delivering the perfect balance of performance, durability, and intelligent control. With nearly 150 years of global expertise, we combine engineering excellence with local support to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations
These fans stand out through innovative features such as:
- Co-rotating aerofoil stator vanes that maximize efficiency and reduce noise
- Adjustable blade pitch for flexible operation across different duty points
- Rugged construction built to endure the harshest underground environments
- Heavy-duty resonant silencers for effective noise reduction
Beyond strength and efficiency, our fans are VOD-ready and VSD-compatible (Variable On-Demand / Variable Speed Drive), making them ideal for energy-optimized, intelligent ventilation management. Their compact, robust design allows for easier transport, handling, and underground installation – minimizing downtime and simplifying operations.
We offer a range of Single and Twin configurations to match your needs:
- 55 kW & 75 kW – Ø 1.2 m
- 90 kW, 110 kW & 132 kW – Ø 1.4 m
Every motor is backed by a 3-year warranty and supported by our nationwide service network. In addition, our WA-based Authorized Distributor – a Supply Nation Certified Indigenous Business – provides full workshop services and responsive field support from Perth.
With TLT-Turbo secondary ventilation fans, you gain more than a product – you gain a partner who delivers proven reliability, smarter operation, and long-term value for your mining projects.
