Trusted across mining, construction, agriculture & fire protection to eliminate risk in the world's harshest environments. Magnum® Australia is identified throughout the mining industry for its ability to design, fabricate and fit out custom water tankers to become transformed in to specialist dedicated mining water trucks. In recent years, Magnum® Australia has identified market needs and, in addition, now tailors its business to manufacturing and supplying major hardware components for the water cart / tanker industry throughout National and International mining sectors. Magnum® Australia's extensive product lines in these areas include:

• Magnum® spray head valves

• Magnum® custom designed and configured water cannons

• Pumping stations - hydraulic, petrol and diesel driven

• Magnum® cabin switching and control systems - optional pneumatic, hydraulic and fully electrical; with much industry preference toward newly offered radio frequency (r.f.) control systems.

• Magnum® designed and fabricated water trucks to meet all mine specification protocols.

• Required water valves and general operating components necessary to configure a water tanker.

With a very real corporate focus on Dust Management, Magnum Australia has over 35 years extensive experience in this field, and to this end, has developed various systems to aid dust suppression. Magnum® Australia has continued to invest heavily in it’s own Research and Development (R&D) department located in Melbourne, with a focus to developing improved specialist systems to aid all OEM’s and end users of water delivery equipment in mining; with tailored systems for the individual client needs.

Waste Expo Australia has wrapped for another year, and we're a little sad to see it go. But we're leaving with some very good news: Magnum took out Best Stand!

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat over the past few days, about fire risk, Therminator®, and where the industry is heading. The conversations made the whole show worth it.

We're on the floor at Waste Expo today, and day one has already brought some great conversations, about fire risk, insurance expectations, and where Therminator® fits into the bigger picture for waste and recycling operators.

Come find the Magnum stand at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), we'd love to chat.

Ever wondered why your insurance premium keeps creeping up? For waste and recycling sites, fire risk is a big part of that story.

We’ve just published a new article on what insurers actually want to see when it comes to fire protection, and how systems like our Therminator® are changing that conversation. Read the full article here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fire-protection-becoming-insurance-conversation-just-vacoc

Also, we’re at Waste Expo Australia today! Come check out our Magnum solutions, including the Therminator, at the Magnum stand.

Over the past fortnight we've been sharing how Therminator®, our AI-driven fire suppression system, is helping protect waste and recycling sites from thermal runaway risk. If you missed the detail on LinkedIn, here's the short version: continuous thermal monitoring, a robotic water cannon, and suppression that acts before a fire exists, not after. Just days until Waste Expo Australia, where you can see it in person!

A $68 million facility. Dual processing lines handling 35 tonnes an hour. One fire risk that never sleeps.🧯

At Greenovate's new South East Queensland Materials Recovery Facility, Magnum's Therminator® stands guard, scanning for heat signatures as small as 5cm x 5cm from 50 metres away, then hitting a confirmed threat with a targeted water strike within seconds of detection. 🧯

No smoke needed. No flame needed. Just heat, caught before it becomes a problem. 🧨

Read how we helped protect one of the region's biggest recycling infrastructure investments, on the blog. 👇🏼

South East Queensland has a new benchmark in resource recovery. Greenovate's new $68 million Materials Recovery Facility is now operational, processing up to 65,000 tonnes of recyclables a year, and Magnum Australia contributed to the fire suppression systems protecting this world-class facility.

Congratulations to the entire Greenovate team.

Ever wondered what happens inside a waste facility when a lithium battery overheats? It's not like a normal fire; it escalates fast, often before anyone even sees smoke.

A new government report shows Australia generated 79 million tonnes of waste last financial year, and that number keeps climbing. More waste moving through our facilities means more exposure to this exact risk.

Our Therminator® system was built to spot that heat before it becomes a fire, and it's already on the job at a major new recycling facility in South East Queensland. Swipe through for the full story.

Last month's VTA Awards Dinner brought great news for Magnum Australia: we were named runner-up for the Waste & Recycling Business of the Year Award, supported by RSM Group, sharing the finalist stage with Future Recycling.

Congratulations to Tiny Tins, this year's winner, on this well-deserved recognition. Being named alongside two businesses of that calibre speaks to the standard across our industry, and reflects the work our own team puts in every day to support safer, smarter waste and recycling operations.

Thank you to the Australian Freight Industry Awards, the judges and everyone in our network who backed us along the way.
