Dust always wins. It plugs filters, cuts horsepower, burns more fuel, and shuts machines down at the worst possible time. Whether you’re running a combine, tractor, skid steer, or industrial equipment, dirty air is one of the quietest profit-killers on the farm.
The Redekop KAS Pre-Cleaner was built to stop that. Invented by farmers and tested for six years in agriculture and industrial sectors, the KAS mounts on your intake pipe and removes debris before it ever reaches your air filter. Instead of sucking dust into the filter, it ejects it through high-output ports, keeping filters clean, engines breathing, and your machine working.
It Stops Filter Plugging Before It Starts
Inside the housing are 15 rotor blades that spin incoming air like a cyclone. Dust, chaff, sand, or snow are thrown outward and blown out of the system. Only clean air reaches the filter.
That means fewer clogs, fewer cleanings, and better airflow.
Cuts Maintenance Time
Cleaning air filters sounds simple, but every stop costs fuel, time, and daylight. With the KAS Pre-Cleaner installed, many operators move from daily cleanouts to weekly or longer.
In Western Canada, two CaseIH 580 Quadtracs ran side-by-side for 100 hours, doing the same job, on the same field. The tractor with the KAS Pre-Cleaner had 5x less debris in its filter. Operators reported fewer cleanouts and smoother performance.
Real ROI in the Field and Industry
This isn’t just theory. In the Nutrien Allan Mine in Saskatchewan, a Hitachi 690 excavator was burning through air filters every 12 hours. After installing a KAS Pre-Cleaner, filter life went to 84 hours, a 7x improvement, and would roughly save $24,400 per year in filters and labour on one machine.
Cleaner filters also protect turbos and engines from abrasive dust, helping extend machine life and minimize unexpected repairs.
Works Year-Round
The KAS Pre-Cleaner performs in harvest dust, spring wind, chaff, sand, even snow. No electronics, no extra adjustments, just mount it, and it runs.
It fits 4″–8″ intake pipes and works on most makes and models in agriculture and industry.
Better Airflow = Better Performance
Engines lose power and efficiency when filters plug up. With cleaner air coming in, engines stay responsive, fuel use stays lower, and performance stays consistent through long days.
A Small Upgrade That Pays for Itself
The KAS Pre-Cleaner is a simple, practical way to save time, reduce maintenance, cut downtime, and protect expensive equipment. If dust is a daily battle, and it is for most farms, this small upgrade makes a big difference.Mount it once. Run cleaner every day.
