WESTAIR FILTRATION

Heavy-Duty Extraction for Mining, Cement & Mineral Processing

In the mining and cement sectors, dust management is a matter of operational survival. Whether you are dealing with ultra-fine respirable silica or high-volume abrasive grit, unmanaged dust destroys machinery, compromises site safety, and leads to costly environmental breaches. At West Air Filtration, we provide engineered solutions built for the heavy-duty demands of Western Australia’s primary industries.

We move beyond basic ventilation to provide comprehensive “Source-to-Stack” extraction. Our expertise includes high-capacity reverse-pulse baghouses, wet scrubbing for volatile materials, and specialized hot gas filtration. From heavy-gauge flanged ducting designed for high-throughput abrasive ore to integrated explosion relief for combustible mineral dusts, we engineer systems that keep your plant running 24/7 in the harshest conditions.

  • Extensive Experience in Large-Scale WA Mining & Mineral Plants

  • Specialists in High-Capacity Reverse-Pulse & Hot Gas Filtration

  • In-House Engineering for Abrasive-Resistant, Heavy-Flanged Ducting

  • Proven Capability in Managing Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Risks

  • Expertise in ATEX & AS/NZS Standards for Combustible Mineral Dust

  • Strategic Partnerships for Global-Grade Industrial Scrubbing Technology

Engineered for Maximum Uptime in Remote Locations

In a remote mine site, a system failure can halt production for days. We design our mining and cement systems for “Ease of Maintenance” and extreme durability. By utilizing automated cleaning cycles and real-time pressure monitoring, our systems alert operators to potential issues before they cause a shutdown. Combined with our local WA support for spares and filters, we provide the reliability required for 24-hour industrial operations.

Frequently asked Questions

Comprehensive solutions designed to protect, grow, and manage your wealth at every stage of life. We combine strategic insight with personalized planning to help you make decisions.

Standard ducting will wear through in weeks under high-volume mineral loads. We design our systems using heavy-walled, flanged mild steel or specialized wear-resistant liners. We also utilize long-radius bends to minimize internal impact zones and extend the life of your infrastructure.

Yes. For smelting and cement kiln applications, we offer “Hot Gas” filtration solutions. These systems utilize specialized high-temperature filter media and cooling stages to ensure that fumes are captured and cleaned effectively without damaging the collection equipment.

Many people don’t realize that light metals and certain chemical minerals are highly explosive when pulverized into particles smaller than 0.5mm. We integrate explosion relief venting and spark detection systems to ensure your facility is protected against devastating secondary explosions.

We design our systems to meet the strictest Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) standards. By using high-efficiency membrane filters and multi-stage scrubbing, we ensure your discharge air is clean, protecting both the environment and your “social license to operate.”

Absolutely. We can assess your entire workflow—from crushers and conveyors to storage silos—to identify “leakage points.” We then design a centralized or modular extraction strategy that addresses both airborne respirable dust and heavier floor-settling material.

The duration of counselling can vary from one session to several years, depending on circumstances. This subject would be discussed at the first meeting and generally, three to six sessions are allowed for and then this is reviewed.
