Cleanfix Self-Cleaning reversible fans clean radiators and cooling packs automatically by swiveling the fan blades in the opposite direction at full speed.

  • 100% airflow reversal in seconds
  • Full cooling capacity is maintained
  • Powerful cleaning jet removes dust, dirt and plant debris

Cleanfix fans are designed to match or exceed the air flow rate (CFM) of original devices. This maximizes the cooling capacity and enables automatic cleaning at the same time.

  • Maximum cooling capacity – reliable temperature control under high load
  • Reduced downtime – prevents overheating due to clogged radiators
  • Better fuel efficiency – optimized airflow reduces engine load
  • More available power – less power goes into inefficient cooling
  • Longer service life – clean radiators protect the engine, hydraulics and HVAC

Automatic cleaning with Cleanfix fans is more efficient than manual methods such as compressed air or water. Advantages:

  • Constant cleanliness of the coolers
  • Full cooling capacity even under dusty conditions
  • Less maintenance and downtime
  • Increased efficiency and fuel savings

The cleaning frequency depends on the environment. Dusty or harvest-intensive conditions otherwise require frequent manual cleaning. With Cleanfix fans, coolers stay clean automatically, often throughout the working day or harvesting season.

Cleanfix fans are designed to last the lifetime of the motor. Control units require only minimal routine maintenance, e.g. replacing the compressor filters every 500 hours or once a season.

Blocked radiators increase air resistance and therefore fuel consumption. Cleanfix fans keep the air flow clear:

  • Fuel savings due to lower engine load
  • More available horsepower for productive work
  • Less downtime and maintenance costs

Cleanfix fans reduce downtime, fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Example for 1,000 operating hours:

  • Cost savings on fuel: 2,280 $
  • Labor savings: 1,625 $
  • Total savings: approx. $3,905
    Investment usually pays for itself in 12-18 months.
  • Mounting on existing fan drive surface with adapter flange
  • Self-cleaning activated via pneumatics or hydraulics
  • Retrofitting possible, installation approx. 6-8 hours
  • Clearance between radiator and fan 11-15 cm
  • Suitable for medium to heavy-duty off-highway machines
  • Engines between 74hp and 1,000hp, displacement 2.9-18 l
  • Compatible with hydraulic, pneumatic or electric fan drives
  • OEM integration or retrofitting possible
  • Via local dealers or sales partners
  • An individual retrofit kit can be requested for unlisted machines
  • Traditional fans rotate briefly, losing up to 70% airflow in the process
  • Cleanfix fans turn the blades at full speed to deliver 100% airflow reversal and a powerful cleaning jet
