How CENTRI® Air PreCleaners Work
1. Dirty air enters the CENTRI®, which is clamped onto your equipment’s air intake.
2. Specially-designed vanes, curved and angled to precisely direct air flow, move the dirty air toward the stainless steel impeller.
3. The dynamically balanced, one piece impeller (CENTRI®’s only moving part) creates a tornado inside the housing.
4. The centrifugal force of the tornado expels the heavier than air dirt particles, chaff, dust, snow, rain, etc., out the discharge louver
5. Cleaned air enters the engine intake pipe, and the filter element has only the very light particles to remove.
Some types of precleaners clog frequently and require frequent cleaning, must be mounted vertically and are only efficient within a limited range of particle sizes. Others can cause re-ignition of unspent fuel leading to a rapid "burn out" situation in the muffler or exhaust stack or create back-pressure which results in an engine running hotter and less efficiently. And, others rust and corrode.
CENTRI® PreCleaners are constructed of heavy duty, non-rusting aluminum and stainless steel. Lightweight but robust and requiring no additional clamps or supports. Easy installation allows for mounting in any position, including inverted.
