To customer requirements
Our filters are proven to significantly reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions, contributing to a safer and healthier work environment for underground miners. Our filters have undergone rigorous independent testing to ensure they meet relevant safety legislation and standards.
Maintenance Improvement and Environmental Support Initiatives
As part of our continuous improvement and support offering to industry, we also provide the following products.
Column One
Filter Crusher
10 or 20 Foot, High Cube Shipping container fitted with a filter crusher. Helping to reduce overall waste and disposal cost.
Relief Valve Calibration
Calibration of machine relief and diagphragm valves is crucial in achieving extended filter life and lowering emissions.
Back Pressure Gauges
Common problems are inconsistent gauges driving the wrong filter change culture, as well as gauge quality. Consistent and high quality gauges deliver the right filter change culture.
Scrubber Cleaner
Maintenance is the cornerstone to DPM reduction. Cleaning the entire exhaust treatment system including scrubbers and purifiers is essential to reduce engine back pressure & particulate make.
Degreaser
An environmentally friendly degreaser to clean your machines and workshop, breaking down oil and grease into a water soluble product.
Scrubber Additive
Make up tank additive enables DPM to coagulate in the scrubber tank, enabling efficient cleaning on a weekly service.
Compliance & Testing
GMS filters have passed comprehensive regulatory standard tests conducted by renowned independent test authorities including NSW TestSafe, Mine Safety Technology Centre, Coal Services, Monash University and the US Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA). The results have driven independent verification, approvals and evaluation certifications ensuring our products are safe, efficient and compliant with both state and federal regulations.

Diesel engine exhaust and cancer
Diesel Engine Exhausts contain gases and soot, also called particulate matter. Other substances, including carcinogens, may stick to the soot. Because soot particles are very small, they can easily travel deep into the lungs causing a range of short-term and long-term health problems, including cancer.
Safe Work Australia Exposure Limit Update - April 2024
In April 2024, Safe Work Australia (SWA) released a workplace exposure limits for airborne contaminants report where they stated:
- Diesel particulate matter (as respirable elemental carbon) will have a Time Weighted Average (TWA) in mg/m3 of .01.
- The change will take effect from December 2026.
