Engine Efficiency

Sy-Klone’s VORTEX® precleaning technology is validated by nearly 40 years of R&D, the specifications of the world’s leading OEMs, and millions of hours of runtime in the field. From compact machines to the largest heavy equipment, Sy-Klone delivers clean air solutions that maximize fuel efficiency, reduce costly downtime, and ensure reliability in the most demanding environments.

What are the levels of protection for an engine?

Level 1

Intake Air Precleaner

The Sy-Klone Precleaner and Optimax® use the engine’s intake pressure to eject up to 90% of dirt and debris before it reaches the air filter. These systems work reliably in virtually all conditions, from heavy snow to heavy dust. Sy-Klone Precleaners come in a range of sizes to fit an off-road 4×4 up to the largest mining Haul Truck.

Level 2

XLR Powered Precleaner®

Built for demanding environments, the XLR precleaner delivers up to 10x engine filter life. A powered precleaner and filter in one, it handles fine particulate matter, humidity, and extreme dust with high ejection efficiency and dual-stage filtration up to 350 CFM per unit.

Level 3

Vortex® MAX

Vortex® MAX is a heavy-duty engine precleaner that combines proven, powered technology with high-efficiency filtration, protecting larger engines from the harmful impact of dust and debris up to 600 CFM per unit.

DUAL XLR CASE STUDY

From 4-hour filters to over $47K in savings

A wheel loader operating in an extremely dusty cement factory was using a competitor’s filter, and its replacement cycle was just 4 hours. The environment was so hazardous, the engine and two catalytic converters had to be replaced in the first 5,000 hours of run time at a cost of $39,500 to the owner. The downtime cost for filter changes and lost production time is estimated to be $73,375 annually. After a Dual Sy-Klone XLR installation, the prefilters were still operational after 260 hours of running in impossible dust conditions, and the primary engine filter remained like new.
Calculated savings: $47,153 per year
