Meeting world class standards in air quality, South Africa-based Cobra Projects is producing 14 ventilated operator cabins for a Tier 1 mining company in Australia – fitted with Sy-Klone filtration systems supplied by local HVAC specialist Booyco Engineering.
The cabins allow operators to remotely operate heavy mining equipment in their line of sight, providing a cool and dust-free environment to enhance their concentration and performance. Adhering to tight lead times, two of the units have already been shipped and the remainder will be on site in Australia in the last quarter of 2024.
“One of the critical aspects of a sealed cab is allowing the entry and recirculation of fresh air, to provide a safe and conducive environment for the operator,” says Neal Forman, Business Development Manager at Cobra Projects. “We achieved this through our collaboration with Booyco Engineering who supplied the Sy-Klone fresh air pre-cleaner as well as the recirculation component and monitor.”
Sy-Klone’s patented RESPA® air quality products reduce respirable dust and debris, providing clean air to HVAC systems and keeping recycled air safe and breathable. The system also includes specialised filters for the recirculated air inside the cab.
