Mining

Whether surface or underground mining or large or small equipment, Sy-Klone offers solutions to protect your equipment and your operators. We are aware of the many regulatory requirements and design our products to help meet and/or exceed the standards. Sy-Klone has worked with mine operators and machine manufacturers to create custom engineered solutions for precleaning engine intake air and improving cab air quality. In most cases the cost of installing a cab air quality system is less than the cost of one MSHA fine.

Sy-Klone is ready to partner with you in protecting the health and safety of your investments.

Challenges of equipment in a mining environment:

• Short filter life
• Debris in the engine
• Oil contamination
• Reduced maintenance cycles

Challenges of equipment operators in a mining environment:

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals/dust
• Poor cab pressurization
• Non-respirable air within the cab

Sy-Klone offers two types of products to minimize downtime for both the equipment and the worker.

• Engine Air Precleaning:
  For maintaining engine performance, check out the Series 9000^®, the XLR Powered Precleaner^®, and the Vortex^® MAX Powered Engine Protection System.
   
• Cab and Enclosure Air Quality:
  For ISO 23875-compliant Cab filtration and pressurization, check out our   RESPA^® Cab Air Quality Systems.
