Bat Booth®

Protect workers with personnel de-dusting systems that remove harmful dust from clothing and PPE using clean air. Essential for mining and construction sites where fine particulates cling in hot, humid conditions.

Bat Vent®

Purifies and filters air that enters environments located in close proximity to dust-emitting plants or facilities, helping to keep workers safe.

Custom Filters & Collector Systems

Economy Filters and Reverse Air Filters designed to capture fine and coarse dust, protecting sensitive equipment and improving air quality.

"Mideco provided effective routine servicing of our smelter Bat Booths, keeping the equipment operational and enabling personnel to safely utilise them for dust management. They are also very flexible with servicing coordination and always easy to contact."

Jake Dalla Valle
Asset Management Planner, BHP Olympic Dam

“The Bat Booth is actually unreal. We have got night shift workers, and it’s a lot faster and more efficient to use. Instead of relying on a simple handgun, this equipment really gets the job done quickly and effectively.”

Alex Stevenson
Leading Hand, Hanson Wolffdene Quarry

“The Bat Booth is very good. The maintenance guys use it the most because they get covered in dust and dirt during their work. It makes a huge difference in keeping them clean and comfortable. They really appreciate how effective it is for that purpose.”

John Taylor
Quarry Manager, Hanson Ferny Grove Quarry

“Bat Booth has been a great installation here at Glasshouse. It's allowed our guys at the end of the day, after they've done their maintenance and before they jump into their vehicles and head home to their families, to lock out of the MCC room and come into the Bat Booth and be de-dusted... to make sure that we're not increasing their exposure of respirable dust.”

Chris Wilson
Quarry Manager, Hanson Glasshouse Quarry

“We have used the Burnley Baffles successfully on several projects.”

Senior Project Manager, AMG, Inc.
