The Last Air Filter Your Fleet Will Ever Need


Self-Cleaning Air Filters for Mining Equipment

What if you could significantly reduce one of the most time-consuming and costly maintenance tasks for your mining fleet? For mining operations worldwide, changing air filters on heavy equipment is not just a routine chore—it's a constant drain on resources, productivity, and budget. But what if there was a better way?


Enter EPURA by Propulsa Innovations: a revolutionary self-cleaning air filtration system designed to dramatically reduce air filter maintenance for your mining equipment.


The Challenge with Traditional Mining Air Filters


Mining equipment and heavy machinery operate in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Dust, debris, and particulate matter constantly threaten engine performance and longevity in underground mines and surface mining operations. Traditional air filters for mining equipment require frequent inspection, replacement, and disposal, tasks that add up to significant maintenance costs and operational downtime.


Every air filter change for your mining fleet means:


  • Heavy equipment taken out of service

  • Labour costs for maintenance crews

  • Expenses for replacement air filters

  • Lost productivity and equipment downtime

  • Environmental impact from disposable filters


For mines operating loaders, haul trucks, and other heavy mining equipment, air filter maintenance represents a substantial portion of total fleet maintenance costs.


A Smarter Solution: EPURA's Self-Cleaning Air Filtration Technology


EPURA represents a paradigm shift in mining air filtration technology. Instead of disposable filters that need constant replacement, EPURA features an intelligent, self-cleaning air filter system designed to maintain peak performance without human intervention, ideal for demanding mining applications.


How EPURA's Mining Air Filter Technology Works


Automatic Self-Cleaning Air Filter

EPURA's design aims to eliminate manual air filter changes for mining fleets. The system continuously maintains itself through automated cleaning cycles, working to ensure your mining equipment has optimal air flow, even in the dustiest mining conditions.


Constant Performance Monitoring

Built-in sensors vigilantly track filter saturation and pressure differentials in real-time. This constant monitoring helps ensure the system knows when cleaning is needed and can respond immediately—supporting mining equipment uptime.


Smart Infrasound Cleaning System

When performance thresholds are reached, EPURA's advanced infrasound cleaning system automatically activates. This technology works to remove accumulated particulate matter from mining environments without interruption to your operations.


Measurable Benefits for Your Mining Operation


Enhanced Mining Equipment Efficiency and Performance


With EPURA's self-cleaning air filtration system, mining operations may see improvements across multiple performance metrics. The system can help optimize air volume, fuel efficiency, and overall engine performance. The system delivers 99.73% air purity—an exceptional level of cleanliness designed to protect your mining equipment engines and help extend heavy equipment life.


Designed for Uninterrupted Mining Operations


Unlike traditional air filter maintenance, EPURA's self-cleaning process is designed to work while your mining equipment continues to operate. The goal is to minimize the need to pause mining operations, pull heavy equipment out of service, or wait for maintenance crews. Your mining fleet can keep moving with reduced interruptions.


Potential Reduction in Mining Maintenance Costs


EPURA on mining operations can help reduce recurring expenses for replacement air filters, lower maintenance labour costs, and minimize equipment downtime. Over the life of your mining equipment, these potential fleet maintenance savings may add up to a compelling return on investment.


Supporting Your Net-Zero Mining Targets


For mining operations with net-zero mining goals, EPURA by Propulsa Innovations offers specific features that can contribute to your sustainability initiatives:


  • Reduced waste: By minimizing disposable air filter replacements, EPURA helps reduce filter waste from mining operations

  • Operational efficiency: The self-cleaning system is designed to help optimize fuel consumption through improved air flow and engine performance

  • Quantifiable metrics: The 99.73% air purity rating provides measurable data for equipment performance tracking


These features can support your organization's net-zero mining roadmap alongside other operational improvements.


Redefining Efficiency in Mining Operations


EPURA is designed to be more than an incremental improvement over existing mining air filter technology. By combining automatic self-cleaning, intelligent monitoring, and continuous operation, EPURA aims to deliver benefits that can impact multiple aspects of your mining operation, from fleet maintenance schedules to fuel budgets to environmental impact.


For mines operating Cat 930M wheel loaders, haul trucks, and other heavy equipment in demanding conditions, EPURA represents an innovative approach to mining air filtration.
