Mining Air Filter Solutions

2-14-mining-equipmentAirborne particles and debris are constantly drawn into the air intakes of draglines, construction equipment, compressors and any other type of equipment with air inlets across the country.   Sand, rock dust, cottonwood seeds, leaves, pollen, paper debris, industrial waste, nesting birds, dirt, sand,  construction debris and insects are continuously drawn into air intakes costing thousands of dollars and man hours on equipment repair downtime and maintenance.  Debris insulates the coils, electronics and other sensitive components, causing heat build-up, higher discharge pressure and amp draws.  Reduced air flow causes equipment to run for longer cycle times, at reduced capacity, decreased life expectancy, increased filter changes and escalating power costs.

Proper air filtration will prevent debris from impacting equipment performance.  Permatron air filtration products offer you cost effective solutions.

Case Studies

  • Mount Rainier National Park
    Two million people visitor Mount Rainier National Park each year and enjoy informative, educational presentations within the audio-visual room of the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center at Paradise, located at an elevation of 5,400 feet on the south slope of Mount Rainier. Unfortunately, while enjoying the largest volcano in the magnificent Cascade Mountain Range, eruptions from Mount Rainier and other volcanoes in the Cascades have spread layers of very fine, abrasive volcanic ash over the entire region. Glacier movement, which is continual, grinds the hard rocks of the area into the colloidal size dust that visitors inadvertently track into the exhibitor and auditorium areas of the visitor center.
  • NorthWind Portable Air Conditioners
    Expect the unexpected. Whether you are describing a high tech computer server room servicing Fortune 500 companies, a massive white tent containing hundreds of people at an outdoor charity event in July heat or the sand fields of Iraq in the midst of a war zone, portable air conditioners are a crucial piece of equipment that must be built for the unexpected. Portable cooling equipment designed to exceed the rigors of temporary and unpredictable rental market applications must be manufactured to be extremely adaptable, rugged and to deliver 100% continuous duty.
  • Rock Quarry Dragline Equipment
    Tan bodies on the beach, shady palm trees, pink flamingos and a beautiful ocean breeze … is the idyllic life we expect from the sunshine state of Florida. Then reality hits in the form of 120 mph destructive hurricane winds, torrential downpours and storm surges. Mother Nature also throws in a bit of sand, dirt and humid salt air to really disrupt equipment performance. Excessive dirt and dust is a major concern for the Youngquist Brothers. Florida's climate creates havoc for the six intake fans that force the necessary 180,000 CFM's of air into the dragline equipment.
