Liebherr Sound Supression

Minetek has a long-standing relationship with leading OEM Liebherr, providing sound attenuation solutions across their entire range of mining machinery to help reduce machine noise levels.

Liebherr machine noise reduction

Minetek understands the impact that machine noise can have on production. Our OEM sound suppression solutions are engineered utilizing state-of-the-art processes and rigorous quality checks to reduce machine noise levels effectively. Designed with precision, each element of our Liebherr OEM sound package is tailored to the specific model, ensuring optimal performance in accordance with acoustic frequencies. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and simulation programming, we can precisely target and neutralize specific frequencies for superior noise reduction, including balancing and noise-canceling.

Our sound attenuation solutions can effectively reduce machine noise levels across Liebherr’s extensive range of mining machinery, including excavators, dozers, and mining haul trucks. Integrating Minetek’s state-of-the-art sound attenuation technology ensures mine sites achieve regulatory compliance, enhance operator safety, and foster positive community relationships. Minetek helps mine sites operate efficiently with Liebherr machinery without exceeding or breaching regulatory noise levels and restrictions.

Liebherr Excavators

Liebherr mining excavators are some of the most popular machines on the market thanks to their exceptional performance, simple operation, and operator comfort. They are celebrated for their performance, reliability, and operator comfort. Minetek’s sound suppression packages enhance these machines by reducing operational noise, enabling extended operating hours and compliance with site-specific regulations.

The R 9100 is Liebherr’s flagship model, known for its excellent fuel economy and low emissions. The R 9800 is Liebherr’s and the world’s largest mining excavator, designed for high-production mining applications. Minetek’s sound attenuation solutions reduce the machine noise output without compromising its ability to move 85,000 tons of material daily. Other popular Liebherr excavators include: R 9600, R 9400, R 9250, and R 996. Minetek’s machine noise reduction capabilities extend across Liebherr’s entire range of mining excavators.

Liebherr Dozers

Liebherr has been manufacturing mining dozers for over 60 years. They are known for their efficiency and environmental performance. The Liebherr PR 776 is one of the most efficient mining dozers in the 70t class, with high torque, low cost per ton, and lower environmental impacts. With a weight of under 70 tons, it’s among the most powerful and quietest dozers available on the market today with Minetek’s sound suppression solutions installed. 

Liebherr Mining Trucks

Liebherr’s ultra-class mining trucks are engineered for high production efficiency. Minetek’s machine sound attenuation solutions enable these trucks to operate at a reduced noise level, delivering maximum noise reduction with minimal weight, preserving machine payloads, OEM back pressure requirements, and airflow, and enhancing community relations and operational flexibility.

Our sound solutions have optimized the noise output of this powerful 4,000 HP mining truck, Liebherr T 284, allowing for high production while minimizing environmental impact.
