Minnovation Ltd have been designing and manufacturing Blocks & Sleeves for the mining & tunnelling industry for the last 25 years. Working in close co-operation with British Coal Research Establishment, numerous blocks incorporating built-in sprays, for both shearers, heading machines and continuous miners were developed and manufactured in-house.
Minnovation Ltd successfully developed and patented the "Blocksaver” tooling system which is a method of hydraulically extracting press fit sleeves from the block where the stepped sleeve acts as its own hydraulic cylinder. Minnovation Ltd has a fully equipped machine shop and manufactures blocks and sleeves for several major mining equipment companies.
