Air Intake Pre-Cleaners

Engine Protection Starts Here
Cleaner Air. Longer Filter Life. Lower Costs.
Our air intake pre-cleaners remove coarse dust, sand, debris, and moisture before they reach the main filter — extending filter life, reducing service intervals, and protecting engines in the toughest environments. By eliminating up to 99% of contaminants in real time, they improve overall engine efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower your total cost of ownership. Ideal for retrofits or OEM applications, these pre-cleaners help engines perform reliably — from quarry to field to workshop.

Applications:

  • Internal-combustion engines
  • Construction and mining equipment
  • Agricultural and forestry machinery
  • On/off-road and utility vehicles
  • Generator sets and compressors
  • Stone crushers and quarry machines
  • Forklifts and material handlers
  • Marine and off-road engines
  • Industrial equipment in dusty, confined, or sensitive environments

Vortex

Self-Cleaning Pre-Cleaner — No Dust Bowl, No Maintenance

The Vortex pre-cleaner uses centrifugal airflow to separate and eject dust, sand, snow, and insects — without power, filters, or manual emptying. Its continuous self-cleaning action protects the engine and main filter, significantly increasing uptime and reducing maintenance costs.

Ideal for
  • Heavy-duty mobile equipment
  • Harsh construction, mining, and agricultural environments
  • High-dust or remote operations where service access is limited
Key Advantages
  • Extends filter life up to 12×
  • Self-cleaning — no dust bowl, no manual service
  • Works without power or exhaust connection
  • Low-noise, low-restriction airflow
  • Mounts in any position (horizontal or vertical)
  • Reduces fuel and service costs
  • Easy retrofit to existing filter systems
Properties
  • Removes ≥87.5% coarse dust (up to 99% larger particles)
  • Flow rate: 0.9 – 56.0 m³/min @ 20 mbar
  • Operating temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C (peaks +100 °C)
  • Low pressure drop – no impact on intake efficiency
  • Zero increase in intake temperature
  • Compatible with single- and two-stage air cleaners

VisiClean

Cyclone Pre-Cleaner with Visual Dust Collection

VisiClean removes over 85% of coarse particles before they reach the filter — collecting them in a transparent bowl for fast inspection and easy emptying. Ideal for applications where dust cannot be expelled freely into the environment.

Perfect for
  • Agricultural, construction, or municipal vehicles
  • Equipment operating near workers or sensitive surroundings
  • Dry, dusty, or confined indoor/outdoor workspaces
Key Advantages
  • Centrifugal separation with visible dust collection
  • Transparent bowl for instant inspection
  • Manual emptying — no dust expelled into the environment
  • Low pressure loss and stable engine performance
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant construction
  • Compact design — mounts directly on air filter or intake pipe
  • Functions as a rain cap replacement
Properties
  • Removes ≥85% of coarse dust before reaching filter
  • Flow rate: 1.4 – 33.4 m³/min @ 20 mbar
  • Operating temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C (peaks +100 °C)
  • Shock-, vibration-, and weather-resistant materials

Why Pre-Cleaners Matter

Every gram of dust removed before the filter saves wear, lowers fuel use, and reduces downtime. Whether you’re protecting a generator in the desert, a tractor in a field, or a forklift in a dusty warehouse — pre-cleaners are the first line of defense.

Protect your engines. Reduce your costs. Keep working — with Vortex and VisiClean.
