Emergency Fall Arresting System (EFAS) & MINE HOIST ARRESTING SYSTEM
EFAS is the most advanced and safest “safety catch” system (hoist arresting system) available in the world today, providing a safe deceleration of a conveyance in the event of a hoist rope severance or slack rope. Some of the most significant advances with EFAS is that it virtually eliminates the occurrence of inadvertent activation and provide safe deceleration rates even with one single person occupying the cage as well as with a full load of people. The system works equally well with steel, rope and wooden shaft guides. Contact us today for more information on hoist arresting systems, mine hoist arresting systems, conveyance arresting systems, lift arresting systems, or elevator arresting systems.
The Emergency Fall Arrest System (EFAS) is designed to arrest and support a conveyance after a rope failure scenario by using hydraulic activated clamps, onto steel, wooden or rope guides in the Mine Shaft.
The system can be triggered electronically or mechanically from a rope monitoring device.
EFAS consists of a number of clamps, a hydraulic power unit and an electronic activation and control system.
Each clamp functions independently and is capable of arresting and holding the conveyance, on a two clamp system. The number and capacity of the clamps used depend on the mass of the conveyance. The clamps are activated or triggered either by using a mechanical or PLC controlled activation system. The hydraulic power unit is used to charge the accumulators and is installed on the bank level.
