As a world leader in the manufacture of heavy equipment, your customers expect quality, performance,
reliability and value. They expect your equipment will not only perform quality work, but will
last a lifetime. That's where we come in. The turbo® Precleaner is the only precleaner on the
market that protects an engine from its most deadly enemy - - micro-abrasive dust. These tiny
particles are invisible to the naked eye, are smaller than 20 microns; and yet they can literally
destroy the engine components and drastically reduce the life of the filter.
Micro-abrasive dust particles are extremely abrasive. They have razor-like flakes that grind and
gouge surfaces, alter clearances, and generate even more abrasive debris. They are drawn into your
engine through the air intake and destroy critical precision parts.
These particles are between 5 and 20 microns in size and are found in the zone of maximum danger to
critical equipment parts.
There is only one product on the market that exclusively engineered to eliminate deadly micro-abrasive
dust before it enters the filter – the turbo® Precleaner. No other precleaner can make this claim.
You as a manufacturer of heavy equipment are probably just as concerned about air restriction as you are
about engine protection. Therefore it's important that you know some critical facts about air restriction
and precleaner efficiency. First of all, all self-propelled precleaners are not designed in the same
way nor do they operate in the same manner. Self-propelled precleaners vary widely in the aerodynamic
design of their rotor assembly including the angle of their blades in juxtaposition to their paddles.
The design angle of the blades and the power of the rotational force are a vital determiner of precleaner's
ability to filter out micro-abrasive dust before it reaches the filter.
Second, precleaners direct airflow in several different ways; top-down or bottom up with either constant
air flow or stop-and-go airflow. The manner in which a precleaner directs the airflow is also critically
important because of the resistance caused by the re-directed air flow can impact the amount of air reaching
the engine at any given time. Reduced air to the engine means reduced engine power. Less restriction and
more air boosts engine power. Therefore, a top-down air flow precleaner actually lowers air resistance
while maximizing the air flow for effective micro-abrasive dust elimination.
The turbo® Precleaner is the only precleaner on the market that is exclusively engineered with a top-down
airflow design. Tests performed at the South West Research Institute (S.W.R.I.) under the J726 June 93
Air Cleaner Test Code illustrate how the top-down airflow design of the turbo® Precleaner maximizes filter
life and engine performance while dramatically reduces air flow restriction.
The important thing to remember about engine air filtration is that micro-abrasive dust is everywhere
there is air....not just in harsh environments. Since every engine in every application is vulnerable to
micro-abrasive dust, it just logically follows that every engine should have a precleaner. A precleaner
should not be seen as just an add-on or an additional protection, but a vital part of your engines air
filtration system. And if your engine doesn't have the turbo® Precleaner, it may as well have nothing at all.
Using a precleaner that is not the turbo® Precleaner makes about as much sense as using a seatbelt
that doesn't click. If a seatbelt doesn't click properly, it's not going to protect your life.
It's that simple. If a precleaner does not protect against the most harmful dirt particles, it's
not going to protect the engine. It's also that simple.
Your customers deserve the best protection available in the market. They deserve to not have problems
with engine breakdowns, excessive filter changes, and unnecessary fuel consumption. Offering your
customers the turbo® II or the turbo® III product assures you that, not only will your customers
have the best equipment in the market; they'll have the best engine protection in the market.
This not only affects your market share, it ensures that your warranty problems will be kept to a
minimum - - which will ultimately affect your bottom line.
We don't make this claim lightly. We have numerous independent testing data, including from US Army
TACOM, which has tested our product under simulated field conditions using fine dust at two times
zero visibility. TACOM's test results prove that by adding our precleaner, the service levels on
the filter elements are dramatically extended even under extreme conditions. They have recommended
turbo for future upgrades on the HUMVEE
We know our product works because it is the result of 30 years of intensive research, brilliant
engineering and exceptional design. Most importantly, we know our product works because our
customers, OEMs, Distributors, Dealers, and End-Users, have told us they wouldn't consider
offering or using any other precleaner but the turbo® Precleaner.
That is why the turbo® Precleaner:
- should be installed on every machine leaving your factory
- will close your liability gap
- will insure you against engine breakdowns and poor engine/filter performance
- will keep your customers coming back
- will dramatically expand your market share
- will give you a competitive edge
