Working conditions on construction sites are often extremely dusty and can push construction machines to the limit. Clogged radiators place a heavy strain on machines and significantly increase fuel consumption. Cleanfix reversible fans have proven to be the most effective solution to cool engines and clean radiators. Cleanfix reversible fans ensure that engine-driven construction machines such as excavators, loaders, demolition excavators, crawlers, rollers, transport vehicles, dump trucks, or cranes work in a much more productive and cost-efficient manner.
With the original Cleanfix reversible fan, you can fully reverse the air flow without changing the direction of rotation of the fan! This is thanks to the fact that all the blades rotate automatically to the most efficient position. Machines equipped or retrofitted with a Cleanfix reversible fan run longer, require less maintenance, and are more sustainable.
By installing a Cleanfix reversible fan in your machine, you ensure that the engine is cooled effectively by the fresh air that flows in. In cleaning mode, the Cleanfix reversible fan blows the radiator free of contamination in a matter of seconds. This saves your customers lengthy cleaning breaks and overheating damage to the engine. Installing a Cleanfix reversible fan is therefore the best thing that can happen to your construction machine.
Your benefits:
Fully automatic cleaning not only increases the productivity of each machine, but also extends the maintenance intervals. At the same time, the number of stoppages due to repairs is reduced as the reversible fan stops the engine, gearbox, and hydraulics overheating and thus prevents the risk of total machine failure. This is particularly important if several machines depend on one another. You can also retrofit your existing machines with a Cleanfix installation kit.
Retrofit kitsWhen a radiator is dirty, the machine’s fan requires approximately 8 kW/h more drive power than it does with a clean radiator.
Example calculation:
Additional costs for fuel: | 936 €/year |
Additional costs for maintenance: | 1,125 €/year |
You save: | 2,061 €/year |
Calculation basis: Machine with 250 HP, 40% pollution, 900 operating hours per year, 2.6 l/h consumption, radiator cleaning: 15 min. every 90 days.
Potential production losses due to overheating (at least 50 EUR/h) were not considered.
Therefore, a Cleanfix reversible fan promises a return on investment after just 18 months, without taking into account prevented production losses.
Irrespective of this specific example, using Cleanfix technology can help you save between €1,100 and €4,500 per year, depending on operating hours and machine utilization. This ensures the fan is able to pay for itself even more rapidly.
Experience what the Cleanfix reversible fan is capable of even in the most challenging conditions. The fan switches from cooling to cleaning at regular intervals. When the blades have rotated fully, the fan changes the direction of the air flow and blows the contamination from the radiator.
