Air Intake

Why our Air Intake solutions?

Mammoth’s air intake boxes offer a cost-effective alternative to factory standard components. Made locally from quality materials, our air boxes will fit seamlessly into the machine’s framework without any modification. We also offer the option of installing a preclear system to save on maintenance time and filter replacements.

Benefits

Locally Made and Stocked
Made in locally and strategically stocked in our regional branches, our Air Intake boxes are ready to ship to save you on down time.
Quality Materials
Mammoth use the highest quality materials for durability and efficiency, such as the anti-corrosive PU coating to minimise dust and moisture build-up.
Extensive Range
We offer a huge range of airboxes to suit most heavy machinery makes and models, with 3D schematics for easy part recognition with convenient bolt-on replacements to fit existing brackets.
Custom Solutions
Local manufacturing means we can create an airbox to suit your specifications. Our team of engineers are on hand to assist with custom design.
Innovative Designs
Mammoth strive for innovation in our components, introducing optional vent rain covers to reduce internal moisture, stainless steel housings for acidic and hypersaline environments, and a selection of precleaner spinners to reduce maintenance intervals.

Precleaners

Dust. Dirt. Debris. The field is dirty, but Mammoth keeps your equipment clean with our Precleaner kits. When your equipment is clean, you reduce downtime, decrease job hazards and work-related injuries, and increase engine performance.

Precleaner Basics

Once connected to your equipment’s air intake, dirty air enters the precleaner.
Air passes through angles vanes, which are designed to precisely direct air flow and move the dirty air towards the impeller.
Air continues to move toward the one-piece impeller which creates a tornado in-side the housing.
The centrifugal force of the tornado kicks dirt particles, chaff, dust, snow, rain and almost anything else out of the discharge louver.
The newly cleaned air then enters the engine intake pipe, leaving only very light particles to be removed through the filter.

FAQs

How often do you need to change an air intake filter?

Air filters should be checked and serviced as a normal part of planned maintenance activities. Typical OEM recommended frequencies are every 250 hours or as much as daily if dust conditions are severe – most OEM systems will provide an inlet restriction value as part of the ECM to indicate when the air filters need service or replacing.

What is the purpose of air intake?

An air intake box is an empty chamber on the inlet of most combustion engines that draws in cooler air from the outside environment and feeds this through the intake hoses/pipe work and filters to allow both cool and clean air into the combustion system.

Thermal Assessment Capabilities

In Q1 2022 a North American Gold Mine had a fire event on site. To mitigate the risks of fires from occurring, the site’s mobile maintenance team engaged Mammoth to carry out thermal audits across their Load, Haul and Ancillary fleet.
The deliverables included; identifying potential fire risks and recommending controls to reduce touch surface temperatures below the flash point of flammable fluids.

Sound Attenuation

Komatsu 930E grid box and exhaust attenuation

The client operated an open cut coal mine in NSW. The sound power target for its fleet of Komatsu 930E trucks was set at 120 dB(A) to meet the boundary noise requirements. The current noise level was recorded at 124 dB(A), 4 dB(A) louder than the prescribed limits.

Sound Attenuation

Hitachi EH5000 Sound Suppressed Exhaust System

A site running Hitachi EH5000 trucks that were fitted with standard sound suppression mufflers was having issues with them due to high back pressure, cracking and falling apart prematurely. The current mufflers were not meeting the sound reduction requirements the site was seeking to achieve. The client was exceeding boundary noise limits due to upscaling of fleet size and required noise reduction to be achieved on existing trucks to continue mining at night.
