ILMEG

Exposure to dust in mining, quarrying and construction continues to pose a major risk to worker health and remains one of the most significant occupational hazards in these industries. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious lung diseases, including silicosis, coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

ILMEG Dust Collectors extract dust particles directly at the source. For a small fraction of the cost of a drill rig, they can help eliminate dust from the face while reducing operating and maintenance costs.

They can be installed on almost any drill rig, old or new, or used as a stand-alone system.

ILMEG was founded in 1971, based on a patent for a dust collector system designed for rock drilling machines. Today, ILMEG is active worldwide and is a well-known brand in the mining, quarrying and construction industries. Its sustainable products and services are recognised for their high quality and for continuously adding value for customers.

For more than 13 years, ILMEG has been represented in Australia by Rock Cognition Pty Ltd, a prominent Australian mining consultancy and project development firm. Rock Cognition has successfully introduced ILMEG products to clients in the ACT, NSW, QLD, SA and WA.

Unlike other dust removal solutions, such as water or foam, air-suction based dust collectors can deliver substantially lower operating costs because they do not require water reticulation or an additional supply of chemicals.
