SIMPLE SOLUTIONS, REMARKABLE RESULTS

AFTER CONSULTING WITH ITS CUSTOMERS, DONALDSON AUSTRALIA HAS INTRODUCED A SOLUTION THAT REVOLUTIONISES AIR-CLEANER MAINTENANCE ON MINE SITES.

- 

As Australian mining companies seek to reduce personnel exposure to dusts, they aren’t always receiving the right solutions.

Ironically, some practices introduced to help minimise dust are counterproductive and result in the need for additional primary filter services.

Today’s modern diesel engines can consume up to 20,000 litres of heavily contaminated air for every litre of diesel fuel burned, meaning air intake systems can be overwhelmed by vast volumes of dust, threatening these high-performing diesel engines.

A dual SSG Radial Seal air housing can separate and filter out more than 200kg of test dust prior to reaching the maximum allowable intake restriction common to modern engines.

It’s a reasonable assumption that the filter housings on your heavy mining equipment will have protected your engines from similar weights of dust between every primary filter change out.

While laboratory data is a valuable tool to make theoretical comparisons between competitor products, it does not always reflect real-world challenges.

SSG housings incorporate two-stage filtration to protect engines from vast amounts of dust.
