    PLANETA in mining<\/h2>\n\n

    Customized lifting technology for extreme conditions<\/h3>\n\n

    Rare earths play a key role in modern technologies – from wind turbines to electric vehicles. Specialized solutions are required to extract these raw materials efficiently and safely. PLANETA-Hebetechnik has decades of experience in mining and offers reliable winches and lifting technology that are specially designed for underground requirements. A showcase project is the operation in P\u00f6hla, Saxony, where PLANETA technology has made a significant contribution to the safe extraction of rare earths. <\/p>\n\n

    The challenge: mining rare earths safely<\/h2>\n\n

    The exploration work in P\u00f6hla, near the Czech border, presented the engineers with considerable challenges. In addition to the extreme environmental conditions, a safe access system had to be developed to meet the demanding requirements of mining. The safe movement of equipment and personnel was particularly important. This is where PLANETA’s customized conveyor reel came into play, guaranteeing the highest safety standards. <\/p>\n\n

    Rising demand<\/h6> \n

    <\/h3>

    Global demand for rare earths rose to 93,000 tons in 2023 and is expected to reach 169,000 tons in 2040, mainly because of demand in green energy technology.<\/p>

    <\/p>\n\n

    The concept: Tailor-made winch solutions<\/h2>\n\n

    The winch solution for the project in P\u00f6hla was specially developed in accordance with TAS mining standards and certified by DMT. A particular benefit of the winch is its precise control via a specially developed control chair with integrated joystick. This ensures maximum control and safety, especially under the extreme conditions in the shaft. <\/p>\n\n<\/span>\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n

    Technology and products: Maximum safety and precision<\/h2>\n\n

    The robust machine platform on which the winch is mounted offers stability and durability. For geological investigations, such as those carried out in the Asse repository in Lower Saxony, PLANETA develops customized pulley systems that enable precise control and movement of exploration technology in the mountain. <\/p>\n\n

    Additional services: Comprehensive support<\/h2>\n\n

    PLANETA not only offers first-class products, but also includes a comprehensive range of services. From installation to staff training, the company ensures that the technology used functions smoothly. Regular maintenance and fast response times in the case of repairs ensure that underground operations can continue at all times. <\/p>\n\n<\/span>\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n

    Success and benefits: PLANETA’s contribution to efficiency<\/h2>\n\n

    The success of the projects in P\u00f6hla and Asse shows how PLANETA increases efficiency and safety with customized lifting technology solutions. PLANETA’s technology also contributed to the safe execution of maintenance and inspection work during the expansion of the Jagdberg tunnel on the A4. The longevity of the winches used and the minimal downtimes underline the reliability of PLANETA technology. <\/p>\n\n<\/span>\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n

    Conclusion: Why PLANETA is the right choice<\/h2>\n\n

    PLANETA has established itself as a reliable partner in the field of hoisting technology, particularly in mining and other extreme environments.
