CONEXPO 2014. Another Successful Event for Maradyne Corporation!

CONEXPO-CON/AG and IFPE 2014 were a great success this year, being hosted this year at the Las Vegas Convention Center.   130,000 visitors, over 2,000 exhibitors set all time records.   Buyers, end-users, OEM's, Suppliers and Industry personnel were on hand in numbers to see what is new in the construction marketplace.   In general there was a sense of optimism, if only in the fact that things seem to have stabilized in some of the US markets. 

Maradyne Corporation was happy to have both our Filtration Products Group featuring turbo precleaner and EPAC product groups as well as our Maradyne Mobile Products division showcasing some of their fans, blowers, motors and components used in transport and other markets.

The turbo Precleaner product line and series was featured in our booth, especially our brand new 390 series of turbo III.  Designed to emulate the performance of our popular model 46, it is constructed of high impact glass-reinforced nylon, making it ideal for cost conscious OEM's or end users.   Now customers can benefit from enhanced performance, low restriction, all in a cost-effective package perfect for OEM's and end-users.

Additionally we featured our EPAC system, a self-cleaning, pulse-on-demand air cleaner system, featuring our SMART controller and operating logic.    This had many people interested to hear about it's benefits, especially in extremely dusty environments where frequent filter cleanings and changes lead to unacceptable downtime costs.

Maradyne Filtration Systems Unveils Their New High Tech Test Lab

Turbo Filtration recently unveiled  a state-of-the-art air filtration test lab in Cleveland, Ohio. The lab offers a number of innovative features and represents the latest in test methods and protocols, enabling our engineers to design products that meet – and exceed - the rigorous demands of industry.  

The lab is configured to test precleaners, air filter elements and complete air filter systems with air flows up to 1500 cfm used in off-highway, construction and military markets. All measurements are in strict accordance with ISO 5011 test standards and protocols, as well as military specs. We also test to validate designs and identify each product’s true capabilities.

In addition the lab’s precision controls enable Maradyne to ensure stable and repeatable results across a wide variety of simulated air intake systems. With multiple test legs, the lab can be used for internal development work and offered to OEMs and other customers to assist in development and/or validation of their own components and total system performance for vehicles or applications.

Today, with solid modeling, rapid prototyping and in-house laboratory capabilities, Maradyne can come to market much quicker with new products, such as the all-new turbo 390, molded in-house out of high strength, impact resistant, glass reinforced nylon, especially suited for the demands of OEMs and end users in construction and heavy industry.

We'll soon be providing a short video online, where you can get an inside look at our testing lab in Cleveland. Hear Tracy Long, turbo’s Director of Business Development, explain how we test our products to the highest filtration standards.

turbo in Scandinavia

Turbo precleaner was in Scandinavia recently visiting our dealer network there.
In Skjern Denmark we visited Grene (www.grene.dk), who have a massive distribution facility complete with automated carousels where they are able to ship over 8,000 packages per day from their 40,000 square meter facility!   It reminded me of what it might look like seeing Amazon shipping packages at Holiday time next month.   Their filtration division is headed up by Lasse Kviesgaard and Kurt Jensen, who have over 10 years experience selling turbo precleaner in Denmark.   They also handle a wide variety of other filtration products including engine air cleaners, oil and compressor filters, fuel water separators and many other products.
Then it was on to Norway where we saw SK Produkter, (www.skprodukter.no) who have sold turbo for over 15 years.   Jan Kristiansen and Morten Almark help us there promoting turbo precleaners, fuel tanks and drill rods and accessories to the drilling, ag and construction market.   They showed us as well the famous ski jump hill called Holmenkollen, which was used in the 1952 Winter Olympics and is over 100 meters high - very impressive.   
After some good  meetings in Norway where we discussed the outlook for construction and precleaner business in that oil-rich country,

we went on to Finland where Markku Arosarka from Atoy Oh (www.atoy.fi) was our host.   We were interested to learn about their business, customers and plans to grow their industrial sales presence in that country.   They showed us their state of the art warehouse and we discussed the market conditions in Finland.   Atoy sells turbo on-line through their website and to a number of aftermarket customers direct in Finland in addition to wiper systems, seating and a variety of other off-highway and construction aftermarket accessories.


Last we visited Stockholm Sweden, and AB Sveadiesel, (www.sveadiesel.se), which is selling turbo, Parker-Farr industrial air filter systems, Separ Fuel filtration systems and a wide variety of defense-related components - including Leopard II tanks and helicopter systems for the Swedish Defense Forces.   Mikael Lindberg was our host and explained to us his market and gave us examples of how turbo precleaners are used in Sweden by both OEMs and end users to be used in aggregate, construction, forestry and mining applications, or anywhere where additional protection is desired for a machine's engine.
Overall, a good trip and an excellent week spent promoting turbo and meeting some of the interesting folk who sell it for us in Scandinavia!

390 turbo III coming soon! Be sure to check back for more details on our new product launch of turbo III - Model 390. It's a completely new turbo design, with smooth trouble free bearings, twist-lock cover design and heavy duty features certain to meet the most demanding applications. Flow range from 300-700 cfm, with efficiency over 80% (ISO coarse dust, measured per ISO 5011 spec.) Rust free components, molded of impact-resistant glass-reinforced nylon, it is also economical and will complete Maradyne's highly successful product range offering of turbo II and turbo III Precleaners.

                                 ATLAS COPCO VISIT

The Turbo Precleaner Team recently had the opportunity to visit Atlas Copco. We were able to climb aboard some of their brand new drill rigs and discuss air filtration in great detail. It was an exciting experience. Check out our Turbo Power Ram(s) installed on a brand new drill rig, which was just about ready to be shipped overseas. Due to the immense size of the engine, the rig requires three air cleaners and four precleaners. Notice the Turbo Y-Pipe being utilized on the center (largest) air cleaner. This allows for the use of two precleaners on one intake!

EPAC Self-Cleaning Filtration System

We showed our turbo precleaners (which were well represented by OEMS on their equipment at the show) as well as our new, self-cleaning filter system, EPAC.   EPAC is designed for applications with very dusty environments, and uses an innovative pulsing air system to periodically clean the air cleaner, so you don't have to.   We are currently installed in some extreme environments on crushers and loaders, and have accumulated hundreds and hundreds of successful operating hours.    If you don't like cleaning or changing air filters daily or weekly, EPAC may be the right solution for you!

M&T Show Brazil & CTT Show Moscow

Turbo precleaner participated in a new show for us this month in Brazil, the M&T service parts expo. The focus was construction and mining, and we were very pleased by the high interest level shown in our product for the Brazilian marketplace. The economy in Sao Paulo is clearly on a roll, and we were visited by many people including end users, dealers and OEMS, all interested in finding out how turbo can help their machines and extend filter change intervals.

Earlier this summer we went to Russia to display and participate at CTT Expo in Moscow Russia.   Although the use of pre-cleaners is relatively new in this country, our products (turbo and starters) were met with much interest.   We had a lot of end-user inquiries and leads for our Russian/Asian dealer, Wesquip Filtration Far East.   USA Call Toll Free: 800-537-7444

Tier IV Air Filtration/ pre-separation concerns

A lot of OEM's are expressing concerns about tier IV and it implications for use of aftermarket installed products, like turbo Precleaners. As far as we've been able to determine, there will be little change in the air intake schemes for these engines. A few of the Engine OE's will try to force their customers to use particular air cleaners, and also they will require the use of their tested and approved DPF system, but this is expected and doesn't really change the basics.

If you are operating in a high dust environment and you want to extend time between filter changes, we believe we have the products for you. There simply is no better pre cleaner solution, and that includes integrated devices and other externally mounted units. Our design ensure lowest possible restriction when sized properly, and highest efficiency for removal of dust. Thereafter the air filter sees only a small amount of finest particles, which dry element paper filters are very good at. With turbo you don't need expensive dust scavenging systems tied to your exhaust or DPF system which add back pressure. Our unit does it all, without ever needing servicing. We even have a unit that works under hood, the Flex-n-line, which comes in two sizes and is perfect for tele handlers, skid steers and other machines where space is tight and dust is high

So regarding tier IV, relax, and let turbo help your machine operate at it's best potential, saving you money and maintenance downtime and hassle. We won't affect your engine's performance or it's certification potential. A turbo will extend it's life - and thats a good thing
