Reliable drying solutions for mining

Working in mining and industrial environments means operating under extreme conditions. Underground, temperatures can reach 95°F, while open-pit mines experience significant seasonal variations, with temperatures dropping to as low as −34°F in winter.

These conditions often lead to (excessive) perspiration or wet and damp workwear, which negatively affects the comfort, health, and performance of employees.

In surface mining, employees are also exposed to harsh conditions such as rain, snow, mud, dust, and extreme temperature fluctuations. This quickly leads to work clothes becoming soaked or dirty, which can make working unpleasant and sometimes even unsafe. Reliable drying solutions are therefore just as important in open-pit mines as they are in underground tunnels.

Drying systems

Pronomar’s drying systems are ideal for industrial mining applications where heavy workwear and protective equipment are used intensively. Thick clothing and footwear get wet quickly, and natural drying is often slow and unreliable. Our drying systems dry clothing from the inside out with a large amount of warm air via stainless steel hangers, ensuring fast and even drying. This large amount of warm air eliminates 95% of the living environment of bacteria.

Properly dried clothing and boots increase comfort, reduce the risk of sick leave, and extend the life of the material. In addition, all Pronomar drying systems are made of high-quality stainless steel and can withstand heavy industrial conditions.

Meet us at PDAC
