tunnelling and mining Filters

Filters for Mining

Mining involves the extraction of valuable materials from the ground and in the UK alone, over 185 million tonnes of minerals are extracted through mining each year. All of this mining activity requiring a range of filters to work effectively, including dust filters to manage the vast amounts of dust that is emitted through mining, to gas filters to protect staff from toxic gases. 

Filters for Tunnelling

Whilst mining involves the extraction of minerals from the ground for an intended use, tunnelling involves the extraction of materials to put in place a tunnel that will be used for transportation or utilities. However, many of the processes within mining and tunnelling are similar, with similar environments that require filtration to function and remain safe. Added to this are the use of complex tunnel boring machines, effectively underground tunnel making factories that remove material and build tunnels at the same time. These tunnel boring machines require a range of different filters to operate effectively, including Air filters and Hydraulic filters, and Microtech Filters are well placed to support you in the manufacturer of bespoke designed or replacement filters for tunnelling projects of all sizes.
