Consider the following:
Respiratory illness is the third largest cause of death in the United States. Farmers are routinely overexposed to respirable dust (less than 10 micron particulate) while harvesting and working their fields. Farmers suffer high rates of bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis and other respiratory sickness. The cost in productivity over a lifetime is substantial. Sy-Klone's RESPA Cab Air Quality Systems make it techonologically achievable and cost effective to protect your operator and create a pleasant working environment in the cab.

Respiratory illness for an engine is called a clogged engine filter. Productivity losses due to premature filter clogging are very costly and rampant in Harvesting and other related agricultural work. The OPTIMAX system relieves filter congestion extending filter life and dramatically increasing uptime and productivity.
