Komatsu Sound Suppression

Minetek’s ongoing relationship with leading OEM Komatsu provides sound reduction solutions for their entire range of mining machinery to help reduce machine noise levels and meet regulatory noise requirements.

Komatsu Machine Noise Reduction

Minetek recognizes the significant impact noise can have on production. Our sound attenuation solutions are designed using state-of-the-art processes and rigorous quality checks to effectively reduce the noise generated by mining machinery. Each component of our Komatsu sound suppression system is precisely tailored to the specific machine model, ensuring optimal performance in line with acoustic frequencies.

By leveraging advanced technology and simulation programming, we can accurately target and neutralize specific frequencies through balancing and noise-canceling techniques for superior noise reduction. Our sound suppression technology allows mine sites to operate efficiently with Komatsu machinery while complying with regulatory noise level requirements.

Maintains OEM airflow

Ensures consistent airflow as per OEM specifications, optimising machine performance and longevity.

No machine overheating

Prevents machine overheating, safeguarding equipment integrity and ensuring continuous operation without risk of damage.

Easy accessibility for maintenance

Facilitates easy access for maintenance tasks, reducing downtime and streamlining upkeep processes for enhanced operational efficiency.

Preserves machine payloads

Achieves maximum noise reduction with minimal weight, helping to maintain machine payloads and comply with OEM back pressure requirements.

Komatsu Excavators

Komatsu’s mining excavators are powerful and productive, enabling sites to achieve operational efficiency. They are designed for a variety of applications and boast exceptionally low running costs, high productivity, and efficient loading capabilities. The PC7000 is Komatsu’s flagship heavy-duty excavator, intended explicitly for industrial-level mining operations. After installing Minetek’s sound solutions on the Komatsu PC 7000-11, we successfully reduced noise levels by 11 dBA. Read the PC 7000 sound attenuation success story today.

Komatsu Haul Trucks

Komatsu haul trucks are designed to meet the demands of mining operations by transporting large volumes of materials, including ore and waste, around the mine site. Minetek’s sound attenuation solutions can reduce the machine noise output on Komatsu haul trucks by up to 50%. Recently, Minetek has successfully implemented sound attenuation on the Komatsu 930E, Komatsu 830E, and Komatsu 730E fleet machinery. This has improved productivity by allowing extended operating hours while maintaining the machines’ payload capacities.

 

Komatsu Dozers

Komatsu bulldozers are designed to efficiently move large quantities of material, making them the reliable workhorses of your fleet. Engineered to meet the high production demands of mining companies, Komatsu dozers are powerful machines suitable for grading and slot dozing. Minetek’s sound solutions guarantee that Komatsu dozers comply with site noise regulations without compromising their performance.

Komatsu Blasthole Drills

Komatsu’s Blasthole Drills deliver high torque and bit loading capabilities, making them suitable for some of the toughest mining conditions worldwide. Featuring a powerful pulldown, a rugged design, a robust hydrostatic propel system, and excellent maneuverability, these drills also provide outstanding operator visibility for all on-site drilling and blasting tasks. Ensure your Komatsu mining dozer meets noise compliance levels with Minetek’s sound attenuation solutions.
