Mine Ventilation

Sep 27, 2013

Metal-Air is committed to the design, development, fabrication and installation of high performance steel ventilation ducting products for underground mining and tunneling, and industrial applications. Our combination of expertise, experience and commitment is demonstrated through our ventilation products and our services to the underground world. We understand that underground mine ventilation is an extremely important area of focus for all mining professionals as mines have to be adequately ventilated to ensure a cleaner and safer workplace.


Metal-Air is able to provide all mine sites throughout Northern and Central Ontario and within Canada with the fast and reliable production of heavy duty manufactured spiral steel ducts, of any length, any size, and any diameter. It is durable enough to sustain normal mining condition blasting. Ducts are easily connected using flanges and v-locks, or simply made with a plain end connected together by a 12” wide drawband. Either way, the installation in your typical mining ramps and headings is quick, effective and straightforward. Ducts can be manufactured at the underground site which saves time therefore reduces cost. 


As well as being a manufacturer of high quality ventilation products, we also offer experienced employees who are available for site visits, training, installation, demonstrations and/or recommendations for all the underground ventilation needs.


As experienced professionals, some of the services that we offer include, but are not exhaustive to:

• Adapters – Steel to PVC (Flex Tubing)

• Axial Van Fans for All Applications
• Cheater Clamps
• Custom Build Air Conditioning Systems for Refuge Stations, Underground Offices and Transformer Stations
