Booyco Engineering has successfully supplied 20 HVAC systems - comprising A009 evaporator units and B009 condenser units - along with installation kits and compressors to a mining operation in Tanzania. Managing Director Brenton Spies highlights the importance of reliable HVAC solutions given the region’s high temperatures and humidity, ensuring both operator comfort and optimal machine performance.
Booyco Engineering has successfully fulfilled a significant order for Tanzania, supplying a total of 20 HVAC systems to a mining operation in that country. Comprising ten of its A009 4kW 24VDC evaporator units and ten of its B009 7kW 24VDC condenser units, the scope of supply included installation kits and compressors.
Brenton Spies, Managing Director at Booyco Engineering, says that Tanzania’s mining industry, largely operated by international companies, adheres to stringent health, safety and operational standards. “Given the high temperatures and humidity levels in that region, having a reliable HVAC system is crucial for both operator comfort and equipment performance, and this is where Booyco Engineering’s HVAC solutions were the ideal choice to ensure optimal machine performance and operator safety,” he says.
These locally manufactured HVAC systems will be installed on heavy-duty mobile mining and construction equipment including CAT349 75-ton excavators, Komatsu 325 dump trucks and CAT770G haul trucks.
“Additionally,” Spies continues, the remoteness of Tanzanian mining operations necessitates highly reliable HVAC systems that minimise downtime and maximise equipment availability. Our solid track record in delivering proven solutions tailored for harsh environments played a key role in securing this order.” He points to the fact that Booyco Engineering, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, has extensive experience in supplying mobile HVAC systems for extreme conditions.
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of these HVAC systems, Booyco Engineering has provided the mining operation with critical spare parts supported by technical backup.
Strengthening Booyco Engineering’s Footprint in East Africa
Spies says that this order aligns with Booyco Engineering’s broader strategy of expanding its presence in East Africa, particularly within the SADC and Great Lakes regions. “By delivering specialised HVAC and air filtration solutions tailored for African mining conditions, we continue to reinforce our position as a trusted HVAC equipment and service provider.”
