Mining

Applications within the Mining Industry evolve heavily on Mining vehicles. It is very important for these vehicles to have reliable and enduring brakes that will keep the operations going outside the mines as well as inside the mines. New rules and regulations insist on enclosed braking systems since mines are classed as highly hazardous areas. Bearing these in mind, and in line with our customers' requirements, Matrix International has been a leader in designing and manufacturing sealed, multi-disc wet brakes and clutches and solutions for the Mining Industry for many years.

We have supplied brakes and clutches for applications including:

• Loaders
• Haul Trucks
• Load Haul Dumps
• Service Trucks
• Bolters
• Bulk Material Handling Conveyors
• Loco Wheel Brakes

Matrix International can also design and supply Disc Sets for brakes and clutches (Friction plates, counter plates and springs where required)
