What our customers are saying...

We purchased the RESPA-SDX for an excavator Cab in an underground Mine. The Cab had been cited by MSHA because of DPM concentrations in the Cab. We installed the RESPA-SDX, sealed the cab and realized a 425% reduction in DPM levels. We went from being out of compliance with the 160 µ/m3 per 8 hour day down to 32 µ/m3. This brought the cab into compliance. . . the operator after 250 hours of run time in the cab could not believe how clean the cab had remained. . . . the cost of the RESPA-SDX was a lot less than an MSHA fine. Anything we can do to protect our operators and keep MSHA happy is a good thing but the cost of this system is so low, compared to any other alternative, it is a great thing!

"In 21 years of working for my Mining Company as a heavy equipment operator I have never seen anything like Sy-Klone’s Gideon HVAC Precleaner/Filter system. It has kept my air conditional operating normally well beyond anything previously experienced. Before the Gideon system we used whatever came from the factory and have had to blow out the filters daily and replace them weekly. Since the Gideon was installed not only has the a/c remained cold but the cab doesn’t have the debris in it like it did before. I have always felt like I am working underground with the amount of debris accumulating in the cab and on me! In the past I used duct tape to try and keep the dust from coming into the cab. Not any more, I am completely sold on the RESULTS the Gideon system has provided. It has been 649 hours since we installed the Gideon with no filter change and the AC system is performing perfectly. The cab is so clean you would never believe that this machine has been working for 640 hours. My enthusiasm for staying in the cab all day has definitely increased.  I thank my employer for caring enough about my health to install this unit on my machine. I guess I am lucky, I was the first one in the Mine to get one on my machine." Ricky, Machine Operator, Phosphate Mine, Tampa, Florida

BEFORE installation of Gideon Technology: "On some days it was real bad.  We have a real hard time keeping air conditioners clean, filters changed out.  We were changing filters once a day, sometimes blowing out twice a day.  A/C filters were a never-ending battle. Cleaning the coils, odors in the cabs.  They go two to three days and their A/C would quit working.  It has been pretty bad." AFTER installation of Gideon Technology: "Filter life has increased dramatically.  The re-circ filters, they were tapping them out once a day. Now we are lucky if we touch them once a week. We don’t have any reason to.  Operator difference - pressurized the cab better.  They don’t have to run the A/C units as hard, it’s cool all the time.  They say it has cut down on the smell tremendously.  Really big improvement with the Gideon, especially in operator comfort." North Carolina Landfill

"The operators are getting good results and the air filter life is beyond anything we could have imagined." Site manager,  South Carolina Landfill

"We have not had any ac failures since we installed the Gideon Technology Powered precleaner/Filter last February and our operators stay clean while in the cab. Previous to the Gideon installation our operators got covered in Peanut Dust while operating the skid steer and we replaced the HVAC filter every 8 hours of run time. We have been extremely pleased with the ac's performance and comfort the Gideon has provided our operators and so have they. We have not replaced the HVAC filter yet and the machine has been in operation over 600 hours with the Gideon Unit. We were so dissastified with the factory HVAC we were going to return the Skid Steers to the Dealer. We need the enclosed cabs to operate in the Warehouse, but they have to provide an acceptable work environment for our operators. After the dealer installed the Gideon units we changed our minds and are keeping the skid steers." Gideon installation on Skid Steer.  Moon, Maintenance Shop Foreman, Peanut Warehouse, Camilla, Georgia

"Gideon Systems allow the operator to operate with the doors shut and we easily run the 90-day service interval without losing pressurization. The operators are really sold on the systems, and so am I." Supervisor  Operations, South Carolina Landfill

"Since the installation of the SY-KLONE Gideon unit 6 weeks ago we have gone from replacing the Fresh Air Cab Filter once a day to every 5 to 7 days now, Thanks to SY-KLONE for making our lives and our job much, much better." Procurement Manager, Peanut Plant, Georgia
