CARL FRIEDRICH KOEPE AND ROBERT BLAIR THE FOUNDERS OF SHAFT HOISTING TECHNOLOGY Carl Friedrich KOEPE began his working life as a miner in the Ibbenbüren anthracite colliery. In 1877, KOEPE made a ground-breaking invention which would later revolutionise the entire shaft hoisting technology. He developed a traction-sheave hoist that was technically better engineered, more economical and much more versatile than the drum hoisting systems used at that time. This system subsequently became the standard of hoisting technology in mining and other lifting systems. "KOEPE hoist" and "KOEPE winder" are still standard technical terms and fixed expressions in today’s mining terminology. In 1957, the engineer Robert BLAIR presented a drum hoisting machine which provided for a rope carrier, designed to carry two hoisting ropes. Due to its special design this system is suitable for particularly large depths up to 2,300 meters. 1958 saw the installation of the first BLAIR hoisting machine. 1871 Originated as a blacksmith in Siegen, Germany 1955 Focus on special fittings for shaft hoisting systems 1990 Acquisition of MAN-GHH, DEMAG + NORDBERG shaft hoisting systems TO START OF PAGE CONTACT US Phone +49 2773 9161-0 Email info@siemag-tecberg.com ADDRESS SIEMAG TECBERG GmbH TECBERG park 28 35708 Haiger / Kalteiche Germany APPLICATIONS SHAFT HOISTING SYSTEMS FOR CONVEYANCE IN MINES HORIZONTAL BULK MATERIAL CONVEYING SHAFT HOISTING SYSTEMS FOR THE STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR THE HOISTING AND CONVEYANCE OF HEAVY LOADS VENTILATION AND COOLING OF UNDERGROUND MINES AND UNDERGROUND REPOSITORIES TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE EFFICIENT USE OF ENERGIES IN HOISTING & CONVEYING, VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS SERVICES CONSULTING ENGINEERING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRODUCT ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION AT TECBERG PARK TECHNICAL SERVICE USEFUL LINKS COMPANY CONTACT CAREER COMPANY LOCATIONS DATA PRIVACY / IMPRINT / GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE / © 2019 SIEMAG TECBERG GmbH
