A New Dimension in Coal Mine Safety: ExploSpot, Active Explosion Suppression Technology

Abstract With the continuous innovations in technology and the industrialization of mining processes, modern mining operations are greatly improved. The use of high powered machines and automatic mining equipment is one of the methods of enhancing the mine's efficiency, but it has also brought new challenges for mining safety, especially the risk of gas/coal dust explosions. The traditional methods of explosion elimination and suppression can obviously not provide effective protection anymore. The HS mine active suppression system, derived from military technology and based on intelligent high speed activation can provide an effective and practical method to eliminate the devastating effects of a gas/coal explosion in a mining operation. This is a major breakthrough in gas/coal dust explosions prevention technology. This technology provides a new, effective and professional solution which enables a modern mine to manage the increased risks of a gas/coal dust explosion.
