The High Cost of Dirty Air Infiltrating the Engine

3 Invisible Killers of Heavy Mobile Equipment and Fixed Plant Engines

Mine sites are complex operations, and keeping heavy equipment at peak performance is essential for efficiency and profitability. Engines are the heartbeat of the operation and are vulnerable to premature failure from three sources: dust; dirty fuel; and dirty oil.

Top 5 Reasons to Implement ISO 23875 Cab Air Quality Standard

Benefits of Incorporating ISO 23875 into your Occupational Health and Safety Management System

The ISO 23875 cab air quality standard was developed for the extreme conditions of mining but can be used in any industry to protect heavy-equipment machine operators from harmful respirable particulate. It has been adopted as a national standard in many countries, such as in AS/NZS ISO 23875 Australia and New Zealand. So why implement ISO 23875 with Amendment 1 if it is not mandated by a regulatory body? [continue reading] Top 5 Reasons to Implement ISO 23875 Cab Air Quality Standard

Selecting a Heavy Equipment Engine Precleaner for Winter Weather

Running heavy equipment in extreme winter weather presents a unique set of challenges and maintaining airflow to the engine is one of them. Failure to keep snow, ice, or rain out of the air intake may result in the engine’s air filter media becoming saturated, increasing inlet restriction, thus starving the engine of air and causing the machine to de-power and stall.
