What
exactly is a
Polytec-cyclone: Innovation
arouses attention
fi ne oil separator?
Almost no other development in the POLYTEC GROUP has commanded
greater attention than the cyclone, which POLYTEC showed
for the fi rst time at the ISB (International Suppliers Fair) in Wolfsburg
in 2006. Cyclones have been used in engines, to separate fi ne oil
from the blow by gases for many years, but POLYTEC GROUP has
developed a much more effective type of cyclone, which it has protected
by patent. The new system separates the fi ne oil, blown out
by the engine, in far greater volumes than conventional systems. Its
application is universal and it can be adapted for use on any type
of engine.
