Mining equipment sound suppression packages
Proven results and engineered sound solutions developed for over 90 different OEM Models, with over 3,000 mining machines fitted with Minetek sound packages globally.
Noise testing & auditing
Minetek provides a complete range of noise testing including compliance testing as per the ISO 6393/6395 Standard, sound intensity testing, mobile fleet screening and operator noise exposure. We work closely with our clients to develop practical mitigation solutions that are workable for the mining company to demonstrate compliance with safety, regulatory and community expectations.
Maksimum performance without compromise
Our flexible solutions allow noise to be effectively managed in mobile mining machinery, with innovative engineered solutions designed to minimise the weight of components without compromising machine integrity, airflow & maintenance accessibility.
Minetek works with leading OEMs, including Caterpillar, Komatsu and Liebherr to enable machines to comply with required mine site sound levels.
Ensuring that OEM airflow is maintained when adding sound suppression componentry to the machinery is crucial. It’s Minetek’s primary engineering principle, along with reducing the overall machine noise output.
At Minetek, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal machine performance and airflow to prevent overheating. Machinery with Minetek’s sound suppression kits can go to work all day, every day, while maintaining noise compliance and performing to maximum potential without overheating. Our solutions reduce operating noise and increase operating hours, productivity, confidence, and profits.
