Mining News & Case Studies
While there are many issues pressing
the mining industry today none are more important to the regulatory
bodies than operator health and Safety. Mine owners are fighting
expensive regulatory compliance and escalating cost of operations.
Sy-Klone brings costs savings to both machine
operation and regulatory compliance:
1. Air
precleaning devices that maximize uptime in mining equipment. Our devices reduce the amount
and size of contaminants that enter the engine through the intake
system.
Sy-Klone’s OPTIMAX
Dual-Stage Precleaner has proven very successful in heavy
dust environments where exhaust aspiration is available. Large mining
equipment currently equipped with tube body exhaust aspirated equipment
on large filter boxes can be quickly converted to the much more
efficient and robust OPTIMAX SYSTEM. Read what
our customers have to say about OPTIMAX.
Sy-Klone’s Series
9000 Single-Stage Precleaner remains the leader in non
powered Atmospheric Ejective Precleaner systems providing legendary
durability and routine maintenance free performance which saves on
machine downtime and filter changes. Read our Series
9000 testimonials about the effectiveness of this precleaner.
Retrofitting your machine with
OPTIMAX or Series 9000 Precleaners is a snap with the use of our Sizing
Wizard. Our dealer will be glad to answer any installation
questions that you may have. We have ready-made adaptation
kits for most popular machines.

2. Precleaning devices which promote the health
of the operator and reduce HVAC failure rates.
Sy-Klone’s patented
Gideon Technology represents a radical departure from current
technologies employed in Pressurizer Blower systems. The difference
between blowing dirt, at high volumes, onto a filter
(Pressuizer/Blower) and only putting 1 micron or smaller debris on to a
filter at low air volumes (Gideon Technology) cannot be overstated.
Our latest systems integrating Gideon
Technology for cab air quality are the Respa-SD
for general airborne contaminant removal, such as respirable
crystalline silica and diesel particulate matter from the fresh air
stream, and the Respa-SDX,
which performs the same functions for recirculated air.
We have received many fantastic operator
endorsements of our products with integrated Gideon Technology.
“Nothing, and
we mean nothing, works as well as RESPA-SD with Gideon Technology to
provide superior air quality and operator comfort in a cost effective
package.”

<<< If you are purchasing
a new machine (particularly for underground mining operations) you
should demand that these systems be installed from the factory on your
new machine.
