For equipment that operates in dusty environments, plugged filters are a costly problem that can lead to decreased power output and fuel economy, and reduced engine component life. Racor dynamic air precleaners can dramatically extend the life of the air filter (up to 12 times) and reduce overall intake system restriction by removing impurities from intake air before it enters the filter.
Racor Engine Air Precleaners are designed to be mounted on or connected to the air filter intake of a gasoline or diesel engine air cleaner. Their applications include industrial equipment such as agricultural machinery; earth moving, construction and mining equipment; trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles; pumping plants; generator sets; material handling equipment; snow removal equipment, and street sweepers.
The precleaners come available in variety of flow rate and mounting options, making them suitable for use with any engine or application. Selection of a specific Racor precleaner model can be made based on the following descriptions:
AFAP Series – Heavy-duty, off-highway air precleaners are suitable for use with agriculture, earth moving, construction, and mining equipment; as well as pumping plants, generator sets, snow removal equipment, and street sweepers. They are made from coated steel. Air flow rates range from 53 - 1411 cfm (1.5 - 40 m3/min) depending on the product selected.
