- Drill rigs ( blasthole, exploration, production)
- Crushers, conveyors, vibrating screens
- Stationary and mobile compressor packages
Key Challenges in Mining Filtration
- Abrasive dust accelerates air filter loading — primary air filters can plug 3x faster than in construction environments
- Hydraulic systems run at 350+ bar with servo-controlled valves — filtration must be ISO 16889 class 16/13/9 or better
- Mine haul truck transmissions (e.g., Cat 793F) require dual-stage filtration with bypass circuits to prevent cold-flow starvation
- Underground equipment operates in high-humidity environments requiring efficient water separation in fuel systems
- Engine life is expected to exceed 20,000 hours before overhaul — filter selection directly impacts total cost of ownership
Recommended Maxdur Products
- Heavy-duty radial-seal air filters — extended service life designs rated for ISO 5011 dust environments
- High-pressure hydraulic filters — pressure ratings to 420 bar, β-ratio ≥200 at 10 microns
- Two-stage fuel filtration kits — primary separator + secondary fine filter for water and particulate
- Cartridge oil filters — high-capacity designs for extended drain intervals
- Cabin air filters with activated carbon — for dust-laden operator environments
- Open-pit gear oils and greases — for crusher bearings and conveyor gearboxes
