Universal accumulator powered traction unit

The special unit into the hazardous environment was developed by Czech university. The unit can help in the places where there is a danger of explosion of methane and/or coal dust. The developed unit eliminates noise and exhaust fumes of the existing sources. The unit is also more flexible, movable and safer than existing solutions. Its accumulated source of energy can be recharged in a place close to the area of its operation. It is equipped with rechargeable accumulators enabling its operation independent of external energy sources (e.g. power supply cable and/or pressure air supply hose or hydraulic oil supply hose. This unit travelling on an overhead steel profile track can be used for handling of heavy loads. The device is equipped with hoist of 1,5 ton lifting capacity on hook for handling of loads. Areas of utilization: - deep mining of coal and/or other minerals (where there is a danger of explosion) - chemical and oil processing industry - production of paints - rubber and plastics production industry - power plants (fuel processing and coal milling) - other hazardous workplaces where there is a danger of explosion of gas and/or dust. The university is offering license or research cooperation agreement to the industrial partners interested in technology. The university is ready to transfer the rights involving the technology to interested partners, or is ready to work together with partners on the further research of the technology.
