The problem on site

Contamination is one of the main causes of premature wear in mining equipment.

Particles in the air, water, or dirt in lubricants and fuel accelerate wear on engines, hydraulic systems, and drivetrains. Every hour of unplanned equipment downtime has a direct operational cost.

Ideal for operations with

Heavy equipment fleets exposed to high-demand conditions and environmental contamination.

  • CAEX trucks and haul trucks
  • Drills and loaders
  • Excavators and shovels
  • Sites with high exposure to dust, moisture, or fine particles

Premature component wear

Contaminant particles entering engines and hydraulic systems accelerate wear on critical parts, shortening equipment life and increasing maintenance frequency.

Unplanned downtime

Contamination failures are usually detected late, causing unplanned downtime that affects fleet availability and planned production.

Corrective maintenance costs

Repairing or replacing components damaged by contamination is significantly more costly than preventing wear with proper filtration from the source.

Solution

KAPTA microfiltration for five critical points on your equipment

Cynersis Peru represents the full line of KAPTA filters, sizing the solution based on equipment type and the filtration point with the highest impact on operations.

Air filters

Protect engine intake from dust and fine particles, common at open-pit mining sites and high-traffic areas.

Lubricant filters

Reduce contamination in engine, transmission, and hydraulic system lubrication, extending oil life and component lifespan.

Fuel filters

Prevent water and particles from entering the injection system, a critical failure point in high-demand diesel engines.

Gas filters

Filtration solutions for gas lines in industrial processes and equipment that runs on this type of fuel.

Water filters

Process water filtration for industrial and mining operations that require quality control at different points of the circuit.

Equipment covered

CAEX trucks, drills, loaders, excavators, haul trucks, and shovels — the most demanding heavy equipment in mining operations.
