Not all filtration technologies address the same challenges.
New workplace exposure limits (WELs) for airborne contaminants are scheduled to take effect on 1 December 2026. The primary objective of Australia’s Workplace Exposure Standards (WES) is to reduce occupational exposure to harmful airborne substances, including dust, fumes, gases, vapours, and other hazardous contaminants.
For industries operating in demanding environments, particularly mining, construction, and heavy equipment applications, these changes highlight the importance of evaluating airborne exposure risks and ensuring appropriate controls are in place beyond dust particulates.
Industrial environments present challenges that extend beyond dust and particulate matter. Depending on the application, equipment operators may encounter fine airborne particles, diesel particulate matter, gases, vapours, and other contaminants that require different filtration and exposure-control strategies. Traditional particulate filters are designed to capture airborne particles but are not designed to remove gases and vapours.
Selecting the right clean air technology for your operating environment matters.
For 40 years, Sy-Klone® has engineered advanced clean air technology solutions to address airborne contaminant challenges in the world’s most demanding industrial environments, addressing these very challenges. From high-efficiency particulate filtration to specialised gas and vapour filtration, our technologies are designed to help reduce airborne contaminant exposure, improve operator cab air quality, and support businesses working toward safer operating environments and workplace air quality exposure goals and safety objectives.
Our technologies address a broad range of airborne contaminant challenges through:
- Advanced fresh-air and recirculation filtration technology
- Operator cab pressurisation
- Real-time air quality and system monitoring
- Specialised filtration for selected gases and vapours
From factory first-fit OEM integrations to aftermarket equipment upgrades, Sy-Klone works with leading equipment manufacturers, dealers, and distributors to deliver engineered solutions across a wide range of mobile equipment applications.
Our goal is simple: Help businesses solve industrial air quality challenges with proven technology, application expertise, and reliable support.
We Go Beyond Dust!
Not All Airborne Contaminants Are Equal, and Neither Is Our Filtration Technology.
Sy-Klone’s RadialSHIELD® filter portfolio offers advanced particulate filtration technology alongside specialised options designed to address additional airborne contaminants.
Because different contaminants require different solutions, selecting the appropriate filtration technology is essential. RadialSHIELD® Specialised HEPA Filtration media options include:
- HEPA Filtration: High-efficiency filtration designed to capture fine airborne particulate contaminants.
- Odour + HEPA: Combines particulate filtration with odour-reduction capabilities for selected applications.
- ABEK Gas + HEPA: Combines particulate filtration with specialised media designed to address selected organic vapours, inorganic gases, acid gases, and ammonia.
- Ammonia + HEPA: Specialised filtration for applications where ammonia exposure is a concern.
Sy-Klone is here to help you prepare for Australia’s Evolving Workplace Exposure Requirements
Our team and network of authorised distributors across Australia work with equipment owners, OEMs, and industry professionals to evaluate operating environments and identify suitable clean air technologies.
Whether you’re evaluating a new equipment platform, upgrading an existing fleet, or reviewing air quality management practices, our application expertise can help you identify solutions that support your operational objectives.
As Australia’s updated workplace exposure limits approach, now is the time for industrial operations to evaluate airborne contaminant risks, review current engineering controls, and identify opportunities to improve operator cab air quality.
Clean Air Is Our Mission. Engineering Solutions Is What We Do.
Our Air Quality solutions support industry standards and workplace exposure goals.
Sy-Klone’s advanced air quality systems can be configured to support businesses working toward applicable air quality standards and workplace exposure-control objectives, including:
- AS/NZS ISO 23875:2023 — International Operator enclosure air quality and associated performance and monitoring standard requirements.
- Australian Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) — Workplace airborne contaminant exposure requirements, replacing Australian Workplace Exposure Standards (WES).
Achieving and maintaining conformance or regulatory compliance depends on the complete system configuration, equipment installation, operating environment, maintenance, and workplace exposure assessments.
From factory first-fit to aftermarket solutions, we’re here to help you tackle airborne contaminant challenges and keep your operations moving.

Technical Note: Sy-Klone RESPA® air quality systems are engineered to support applicable operator enclosure air quality requirements, including ISO 23875, when appropriately configured, installed, operated, and maintained. Filtration capabilities vary by product and contaminant type. Conformance with standards and compliance with workplace exposure limits must be evaluated against the specific operating environment, exposure conditions, and applicable regulatory requirements. No filtration system alone guarantees workplace exposure compliance.
