• Hot on the heels of Agriemach's Turbo is Turbo II, an air pre-cleaner which will fit even the largest truck engine. The air intake is at the top on Turbo II while the debris is deposited from the bottom of the container.
Angled vanes in the pre-filter spins the air and a high-speed rotor. When the air is spinning 99% of the impurities are thrown outwards and are discharged through ports in the bottom of the housing.
Agriemach says testing in the US using earth movers fitted with the device showed a 60% drop in airborne contaminants getting into the engine oil (past the standard air filter).
It also claims that the life of the standard air filter is extended by up to a factor of 10.
The list price of a unit for a large truck engine is around .E300 (ex-VAT).
