The High Cost of Dirty Air Infiltrating the Engine

3 Invisible Killers of Heavy Mobile Equipment and Fixed Plant Engines

Mine sites are complex operations, and keeping heavy equipment at peak performance is essential for efficiency and profitability. Engines are the heartbeat of the operation and are vulnerable to premature failure from three sources: dust; dirty fuel; and dirty oil.

Selecting a Heavy Equipment Engine Precleaner for Winter Weather

Running heavy equipment in extreme winter weather presents a unique set of challenges and maintaining airflow to the engine is one of them. Failure to keep snow, ice, or rain out of the air intake may result in the engine’s air filter media becoming saturated, increasing inlet restriction, thus starving the engine of air and causing the machine to de-power and stall.

Vortex MAX High-airflow Powered Engine Precleaner

Minimize Dust, Maximize Filter Life and Machine Uptime

On a mine site, dust is a major contributor to reduced engine filter life, engine failure, machine downtime, and premature machine performance issues.

Dust and debris-laden engine intake air can lead to contaminated engine oil and damaged exhaust and after-treatment systems, resulting in costly engine repairs or even complete replacement, dramatically increasing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of heavy mobile equipment.
