Reliable warning signals thanks to weatherproof line array

Vattenfall is one of the largest energy providers in Europe. The Swedish energy company plans to completely phase out the use of fossil energy by 2030.

We at Pan Acoustics as a family-owned company that focuses on sustainability and conservation of resources, welcome Vattenfall's decision!

In an opencast lignite mine currently still operated by Vattenfall, an extraordinarily large excavator is used to transport the coal. Safety is of the utmost importance here. In order to protect open-cast miners, a weatherproof, active line emitter is mounted on the excavator, which warns the employees with appropriate signals when approaching.

Special acoustic conditions prevail in opencast coal mining. Signals are perfectly understood over many hundreds of metres thanks to beam steering technology.
