How do I know if we need DPF's?
Underground Specialist Team • Mar 18, 2019
If you run older Tier engines and want to keep your team safe and healthy...
There are some visual indicators you can look for; is your equipment black with soot around the exhaust outlet? Are your walls black with soot?
Technical guides also give indication; are your personal or mine monitors running into exceedances?
Or, maybe regulatory; what are your province, state, or Federal standards? Or your local governing safety body (MSHA / OSHA / etc)? This is is a huge topic and a rapidly growing concern amid the discovery that diesel exhaust is a recognized carcinogen in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2012 based on evidence of its carcinogenicity to the lung .
Doing the right thing for your team is important, here's how you can do it.
SOLUTION:
Install DPF's on your equipment. Mammoth DPF's can be retrofitted onto your existing equipment.Over the last 40 years, Mammoth has accumulated an extensive range to fit most mobile mining equipment and engine configurations making it literally a 'plug & play' installation. These ready built kits simply replace the existing exhaust system, often with no modifications and results are seen very quickly.
Exhaust, Blankets & Intake Systems for Diesel Mining Equipment
Whether you are a heavy equipment fitter, a mobile maintenance mechanic or a mobile maintenance superintendent , you know the work and time that goes into keeping the heavy diesel mobile equipment operational at your site. Maintenance can be planned or unexpected and involves many different projects, some of which are listed below: Haul Truck Rebuilds Preventative Maintenance Engine Changes Does your site have engine changes or complete rebuilds scheduled soon? Here is one thing our customers have been asking for:
Is your engine bay overheating causing wiring harnesses and hoses to melt?
Mammoth recognizes the impact of having equipment down on mining operations. The CAT 793C haul truck is a common machine found on many sites globally. As a result of discussion with many site mobile maintenance teams, Mammoth has reverse engineered the exhaust kit for this haul truck with the C175-16 engine. This includes: Pipes 156-6237 2W-9078 156-6247 8X-3361 8X-3360 8X-3135 7C-3337 155-0528 242-8869 8X-3142 Mufflers 7E-6811 Brackets 8X-3130 8X-5103 8X-2850 8X-3128 8X-3132 Clamps 1W-4161 2W-8851 7E-8452 6N-9298 Improvements made by the Mammoth engineering team have proved to extend component life and increase equipment uptime . Some of the improvements made include upgraded flanges, heavy gauge steel pipe with fitted blanket kit available and enhanced exhaust flex bellows . All components are a direct fit replacement to the OEM factory supplied components for easy, simple and quick installation. Components stocked at multiple warehouse locations across North America.
