“We want to offer coal mines high-quality new and rebuilt products with an eye toward cost savings,” said David Clardy, President of Matrix Design Group. “In this challenging time, mines need to maximize every dollar, and we feel that combining this new product suite with our outstanding service is a good way to support American mining.”

The Matrix Equipment Division has the ability to build new Rock Dusters or rebuild any type of Duster that the customer may have. While mines can buy ready-made products, Matrix staff will also work closely with them to customize their purchase.
“We know that the chances of a widespread explosion can be greatly reduced when rock dust is applied and maintained according to industry standards,” said Sam Kinder, Equipment Division Technical Sales Rep, “and that’s why quality Rock Dusters are so critical. We listen closely to our customer’s ideas and work to meet their exact needs to best support their employees’ safety.”
