Sound reduction solutions

Reduce accumulated site noise from mobile and fixed asset machinery with Minetek’s sound attenuation technology. Achieve regulatory and community noise requirements, whilst limiting potentially harmful noise impacts on operators.

Reduce noise, increase operating hours, productivity, confidence and profits

Minetek enables the world’s quietest mining equipment and machinery, reducing site noise levels by up to 50%. Our innovative sound reduction technology is designed with minimal components and weight, to ensure critical airflows and maintenance accessibility.

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.

Massimo 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.

Exhaust - Dual Skin Construction Maintains low temperatures for operator and maintenance personnel safety, as well as reduced wear of parts.
Bumper Extension Allows for OEM ladderways and access to be maintained and facilitates auxiliary services including fire suppression.
Sound Media Specifically engineered to target and reduce the noise frequency bands travelling to nearby community and sound sensitive receptors.
Radiator Attenuator Targets and reduces high frequency fan noise to bring overall asset noise in line with site regulation whilst maintaining OEM airflow levels.
Engine Panels Significantly reduces engine noise whilst maintaining accessibility for servicing and general machine maintenance.

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.

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.

Komatsu 930E Haul Truck

Minetek’s sound attenuation package reduced the overall machine output of the Komatsu 930E by 13dB. Subsequently, our client maintained noise compliance, eliminated noise complaints from the nearby community, and increased the machine's operating hours.

Minetek reduced the noise output of this Liebherr R 9800 by 1/3.

This mining excavator was able to operate at maximum output whilst meeting stringent site noise requirements, without any downtime due to overheating. With ease of access for maintenance, Minetek’s sound suppression solutions ensured sustained performance and compliance, enhancing operational efficiency and worker safety.

Our solutions supported our client’s commitment to regulatory noise compliance, helping to maintain a strong relationship with nearby communities.

Acoustic enclosures

Minetek’s acoustic engineers design and manufacture acoustic enclosures for generators, and pump rooms along with any fixed assets. Our innovative design is weatherproof, resistant to grease and other contaminates allowing for adequate airflow, with high-quality sound media designed for demanding applications.
