Caterpillar 6040: Air Intakes, Blankets / Thermal Insulations, Exhaust Systems and Sound Attenuation
The Caterpillar 6040 hydraulic mining shovel offers improved uptime and enhanced safety features, making it an ideal piece of equipment for the ever-demanding mining environment. That being said, even the best equipment has been known to deteriorate and fail over time – especially after prolonged use.
Fortunately, the team at Mammoth Equipment have a selection of world-class upgrades that are perfect for the Caterpillar 6040 model. See below for more on our improved air intakes, thermal insulations, exhaust systems, and sound attenuation upgrades.
Caterpillar 6040 Air Intakes
The stock air intake system works hard in the dirty conditions tackled by cat 6040 excavators. Over time, components wear and restrict airflow, reducing efficiency.
● Our heavy-duty upgrades feature premium-grade filtration media that captures 99% of fine dust.
● Larger-diameter piping maintains optimal airflow even when filters are blocked.
● Quick-release couplings permit fast filter changes, lowering downtime.
● Computational fluid dynamics optimization improves airflow into the engine for enhanced torque and power.
Caterpillar 6040 Blankets / Thermal Insulations
Protecting the CAT 6040's engine and hot surfaces from heat damage helps extend component life. Our purpose-built thermal covers are designed to reduce touch surface temperatures by up to 80%!
- The thermal covers have a hydrophobic silicon outer layer thus preventing flammable fluid absorption.
- Designed with hot facing materials that are proven to have no combustion point (the safest in the industry).
- These outstanding thermal covers are the most tried and tested in the world for mining equipment.
Caterpillar 6040 Exhaust Systems
A robust exhaust system is critical for expelled gas flow on the CAT 6040. Mammoth's direct fit exhaust systems for the CAT 6040 are guaranteed to fit your existing brackets, they’re built to last (often outlast OEM equipment).
- Upgrade your equipment with Easy Part Number cross referencing (OEM # and Mammoth Part #).
- Custom drawings with material # and labelling services are available.
- Again, all of our parts allow ‘direct fit’ replacement and can use existing bracketry.
Caterpillar 6040 Sound Attenuation
Exposure to excessive noise levels pose a risk to both mine site personnel and the local community - especially during maintenance. Our acoustic packages precisely attenuate noise levels at the source.
- Our staged attenuation solutions are designed to meet all noise boundary requirements.
- They boast maintenance-friendly designs allowing simplicity, ease of accessibility, and greater efficiency across the board.
- Low back pressure systems are designed to decrease mechanical stress on the engine and all related components within.
In summary, our Caterpillar 6040 upgrades optimise efficiency, extend component life, lower costs and most importantly, improve safety.
