Optimal fire protection for mining vehicles
A machine fire in mining endangers human lives and always means a loss of productivity and profitability. In addition to damage to the company’s image, the consequences are usually higher insurance premiums.
The majority of mining vehicle fires start in the engine compartment. The main cause is the high surface temperature of components such as turbochargers, manifolds and exhaust tracts, which reaches over 750 °C.
The tmax insulating cladding reduces the surface temperatures of hot components from over 750 °C to below 220 °C, thus making a decisive contribution to fire protection and improved exhaust gas values.
- Non-combustible: efficient fire protection for man and machine
- Temperature reduction to below 220 °C
- Protection of temperature-sensitive components from heat radiation
- Minimal additional weight
- Safety from machine failure
- Cheaper insurance premiums

Combined Insulation
Sometimes, not only one type of insulation is suitable. More and more often, our solutions are as individual as your challenge. We combine the advantages of suitable insulation types and develop an insulation solution specifically tailored to your requirements.
Less heat, more safety in mining with tmax insulations
The all-rounder for more occupational safety
Efficient exhaust gas aftertreatment, reliable fire protection or effective sound insulation – our insulation solutions make a decisive contribution to increasing the efficiency of your mining vehicles.
In mining, you face more than one challenge. The risk of fire in the engine compartment is high and represents an enormous danger for man and machine. If a fire occurs, the consequences are severe. Added to this are increasingly stringent exhaust and noise standards, which are designed to enable more efficient, low-impact use.
Many challenges. One solution: tmax insulating cladding.

Significantly improved exhaust gas aftertreatment
The EU environmental protection likes that
To reduce the emission of pollutants, agreements on limit values have been reached at an international level. These will be gradually lowered for new vehicles. Stage V of the EU Emissions Regulation and Tier 4 in the U.S. have been in effect since 2019. The growing requirements for noise protection also call for new measures to reduce noise.
Tmax insulation solutions offer:
- Comply with emission guidelines
- Improved light-off behavior of the catalyst
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Significantly increased efficiency
- Reduced noise pollution
- Perfect fit on blanks
Uncompromisingly safe: tmax RETROFIT
Precisely fitting insulation solutions, for older motors as well
Worn insulation in mining vehicles increases the risk of fire and thus hazards to people, machinery, and image. There is a risk of long downtimes and increased insurance premiums. To remain economical, outdated insulation must be replaced.
With tmax RETROFIT, this process can be made smoothly.
The all-in-one package offers you all services from a single source. From the creation of 3D data of the engine, to the thermography of the insulation system, designed and installed for you.

The high-temperature insulation that absorbs sound
Drivers are exposed to loud engine noises most of the time, sometimes leading to a high level of stress. If work is carried out around the clock, this is difficult to accept.
However, sound-absorbing measures in the engine compartment are not easy because they require space.
With tmax Sonetherm, we have an innovative solution for you. Sound-absorbing insulation combines direct thermal insulation with the principle of sound absorption to reliably reduce disturbing noise without compromising the thermal and mechanical properties of the insulation or the motor performance.
