The MineARC Change-Over-Station (COS) is designed to aid miners as they exit the mine; providing a safe and secure ‘staging-post’ stocked with up to 40 self-rescuers (SCSR’s), depending on make/model. A secondary model also houses a CABA quick fill station (COS-CABA), including additional air cylinder storage and ‘quick fill’ ports both inside and outside, meaning personnel can refill their breathing apparatus without having to
enter the COS.

Inside a MineARC COS, breathing apparatus can be changed over in safety, while personnel compose themselves and continue to plan their escape. Each COS features customdesigned storage to accommodate specific makes/models of breathing apparatus. The ‘walk-through’ layout features a pneumatic flushing airlock compartment at both entrance and exit

Constructed from explosion resistant steel plate with internal support wraps and surround package as standard, the COS can withstand in excess of 15 PSI (103kPa) overpressure with no permanent damage.
