Vortex MAX Powered Precleaner
Vortex® MAX is a patented engine precleaner that combines proven, powered technology with high-efficiency filtration, protecting larger engines from the harmful impact of dust and debris. The small footprint, high-airflow system (higher than single XLR Powered Precleaner) provides constant and sustained precleaned air downstream to the engine, improving machine performance, reducing costly downtime, and lowering total cost of ownership.
Mounting hardware sold separately.
Benefits:
Maximize Clean Air Downstream to the Engine
Proprietary powered precleaning technology, combined with high-efficiency filtration
High-Airflow System
A single system provides protective power of clean air for a wide range of high-airflow machines
Reduce Total Cost of Ownership, Improve Productivity
- Provide sustained, clean air flow regardless of the machine’s operating state, even in idle
- Minimize downtime and maintenance costs
- Reduce dirty air downstream, which can abrade engine components and damage exhaust and aftertreatment systems
- Extend life of primary engine filter and engine, meet maintenance intervals
Versatile Installation Options
- Available in 12V and 24V configurations
- Compact size and footprint with variable mounting configurations
- Less expensive and easier installation as compared to multiple unit smaller airflow systems
How it Works:
The separation and ejection of debris, and high-efficiency filtering, all of which precleans air, is “The Sy-Klone Effect.”
- Dirty air enters the precleaner housing through the inlet end.
- The debris-laden air is directed into a rotation – a “Vortex” – pushing the debris to the outside walls through centrifugal force. The debris rotates towards the outlet end.
- Debris is ejected through the ejection port, and the fine dust that remains passes through Sy-Klone’s self-cleaning filter.
- After passing through the high-efficiency filter, clean air is passed downstream to the engine and engine air filter through the outlet end.
Operating Specifications
- Optimal airflow range: 300-600 CFM (8.5-17 m3/min); contact support@sy-klone.com for higher airflows
- Operation temperature: -40 °F to +176 °F (-40 °C to +80 °C) continuous; +185 °F (+85 °C) short exposure
- Mounting: Vertical or horizontal (Mounting plates available separately)
- Filter change: Filter should be changed when the maximum level of restriction has been exceeded, not to exceed 1000 operating hours
- Maintenance: No routine maintenance or cleaning of the precleaner is required
- Not for use in explosion-prone environments. (Not NEMA Rated).
Product Specifications
- Construction: Glass-filled injection molded polypropylene exterior, steel hardware, 12V and 24V DC motor with sealed housing and sealed ball bearings.
- Mounting Orientation: Horizontal or vertical; mounting plates available separately.
NOTE: When mounting vertically, it is recommended that rain cap end is up. If rain cap end is down, remove rain cap. - Product dimensions and weight: HxWxL; Weight
