Aletek has been at the forefront of innovation in the mining and oil & gas industry since its establishment in 2006. Guided by the principle of - Built to Protect, Aletek manufactures thermal insulation blankets, exhaust system upgrades and diesel particulate filters (DPFs). All are meticulously designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Aletek’s product range is a testament to their commitment to safeguarding both people and equipment. Their thermal insulation blankets, for example, play a critical role in fire prevention by protecting engine and exhaust components from extreme temperatures. These blankets are crafted with high-grade CR6 safe materials that ensure both durability and effectiveness, making them a vital component in fire mitigation strategy. 

In addition to thermal blankets, Aletek’s exhaust systems are engineered to be more than just replacements for OEM parts—they are upgrades that enhance performance and extend the life of heavy machinery. The company’s dual-wall exhaust systems are particularly noteworthy for their ability to withstand harsh conditions, reducing the risk of equipment failure and the associated downtime that can be costly in natural resource operations. 

Aletek also leads the way in emission control with its DPF solutions, which drastically reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) and emissions in underground mining environments. These filters not only help companies meet stringent environmental regulations but also contribute to providing safer working conditions for miners by improving air quality. Aletek’s superior DPF filters also deliver extended service intervals significantly lowering the TCO.
