Stricter international standards and an increased focus on the environment has led to the demand for more effective air filtration systems on mining and earthmoving equipment in the surface mining, quarrying and construction sectors.

As a distributor for manufacturing and technology company Sy-Klone International, Germiston-based Booyco Engineering now offers mines, quarries and construction contractors a range of air filtration options for mining and earthmoving equipment. The Sy-Klone offerings include enclosed cab filtration, air precleaning for engines and high efficiency air filtration for heavy equipment.

“We can offer customers a complete cab air quality system that includes both fresh air and recirculated air systems combined with high-efficiency high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) filtration as well as real-time carbon dioxide and pressure monitoring,” says Booyco Engineering field services sales manager Gordon Postma.

The new ISO 23875 global standard for cab air quality will require machine cabs to have a fresh air pressurisation solution, a recirculation system and a monitoring device, explains Postma, adding that they will also need to be fitted with filtration that exceeds 94% efficiency at 0.3 microns, such as Sy-Klone’s EPA and HEPA filters. He points out that many mining and earthmoving vehicles and equipment are imported with filtration systems that are not suited for the region’s dry and dusty conditions.

“Sy-Klone solutions can be retro-fitted onto vehicles and equipment to provide unsurpassed levels of protection and be in compliance with emerging standards,” says Postma. “Higher levels of filtration also support the safety of machine users, promoting operator alertness and improving productivity.”
