Heat Shielding - Mining

In Australia’s rapidly growing mining industry there is an increased demand for economical, removable heat shielding to suit high temperature diesel engine applications. MTQ has designed a range of lightweight covers to suit Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit and Komatsu engines currently used in the mining industry around Australia.

MTQ covers are manufactured and quality tested for the specific application that they are designed for. They are temperature rated up to 260ºC external and 1000ºC internal, offering superior thermal protection for valuable equipment. As well as the interior protective mesh, the blankets have a coated fabric on the exterior to protect the internal insulation from oil, grease and dirt as well as moisture if and when engines are hosed down.

The insulation reduces exhaust temperatures on the outside of the Heat Shielding thereby reducing temperatures in the engine bay. This greatly reduces the risk of injury when working around the engine.
