Surface Mining Team • Jan 15, 2021
Fixing weak spots in equipment exhaust systems
Are you facing issues running your diesel mobile mining equipment because of weak exhaust systems?
If that’s the case, you are the customer that we can help. At Mammoth, we hear this complaint from several of our customers working in high-production mining and heavy-duty construction environments.
So, what’s the crux of the problem that keeps affecting your equipment performance, reducing its productivity on-site? If you’re an experienced mechanical professional, you might have already figured out the products that are weak and are causing the problems.
While the exhaust bellows are one of the most important parts and an integral component contributing to your equipment’s operation, it is often overlooked when evaluating your engine performance.
Due to its constant flexing, the flex bellow ends up being the weak link in your exhaust system, causing premature failures.
Exhaust Components That May Be Causing Unexpected Downtime
Here are a few exhaust system parts we have engineered to overcome deficiencies that lead to premature failure and equipment downtime. Do any of the weaknesses listed below sound familiar?
Exhaust Bellows –
o Premature failure
o Expensive downtime
Mufflers –
o Lighter gauge steel material is used
o Cracking occurs
Exhaust Pipes –
o Designed and built for longevity
Exhaust Blankets –
o Exposed fiberglass leading to itchy job for mechanics
o Gaps between blankets and not fully covering the exhaust system
o Not reusable
