Getö Mine and Machinery
Year 1848
According to the reports from 1848:
”Getö Mine, which had remained idle since 1785 due to the large inflow of water, was resumed last year. A steam engine was built to drain the mine from water and waste, which was done at the beginning of that year, so that mining work could commence.”
Year 1860
The mine was closed due to a lack of hoisting and pumping power. As the mine deepened, the steam engine became too weak, and fuel consumption was so high that it was not profitable to operate the mine.
Board meeting, 11 February 1899
At the meeting in Saxån it was decided:
-
To purchase a simple hoist from Aktiebolaget Norbergs Mekaniska Verkstad
-
To purchase a locomobile from Munktells Mekaniska Verkstads Aktiebolag, Eskilstuna (23 effective horsepower)
-
To build a residence for the engineer and foreman. The building was to contain two apartments with one room and a kitchen, possibly with a gable room.
Board meeting, 11 June 1902
Regarding an accident with the locomobile:
”During December, an accident occurred, causing the locomobile to become unusable due to carelessness and neglect. However, it was not so serious that water could not be kept out of the mine until a new engine could be acquired, which was a blessing in disguise.
After a newly certified engineer was obtained, both fuel and lubrication consumption were noticeably reduced, and hoisting went smoother and better; we should achieve better results this year.”
Decision: The repaired locomobile was to be sold at the most favorable price for the company, with the mine manager responsible for the sale.
Access to power
The problem of obtaining cheap power for hoisting and pumping was constantly recurring, especially at Getön, which lacked water power.
-
Board meeting 1904: The incoming board was tasked to negotiate with Persbergs Gruvaktiebolag regarding possible rental of electrical power via connection to the Persberg power line.
-
Board meeting 1905: The question of electrical power was deferred.
