CleanFix News

CLEANFIX®, a global reversible fan system manufacturer, continues to see significant growth in North America. Ben Haegele, CEO CLEANFIX® NA Ltd. said today during the Farm Progress Show 2017 in Decatur, Illinois (Booth # VIT9111), “Since we launched our local production in Canada in 2011, we have been seeing strong growth across North America and especially in the agricultural equipment sector.” CLEANFIX® designs and builds reversible fans that are used in a wide range of construction, municipal, agricultural, forestry, and recycling machines, such as tractors, harvesters, combines, sprayers, handlers, excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, skid steers, and a variety of other industrial equipment to prevent problems associated with dust and overheating of the engine.

The CLEANFIX® manufacturing site in Stratford, Canada, has recently moved into a largerbuilding, doubling its production and storage capacity to meet the rising demand from direct customers, dealers, and manufacturers. Haegele continued, “The expansion of our local manufacturing site in Canada is another significant milestone for our future growth in North America and a testimony of our commitment to our North American customer base.” For CLEANFIX®, North America is one of the key growth markets in the coming years. CLEANFIX® started to make significant investments xx years ago while at the same time developing a strong global distribution network for its customers. Haegele continued, “We will go above and beyond to serve our growing customer base in North America with high quality products and services. We will continue our efforts in supplying high-tech fan solutions and innovations needed for cooling and cleaning engines, and increasing productivity.”

It has always been a challenge to keep engines cool and a lot of tractors or other off-highway vehicles have up to five or six fans to prevent overheating. CLEANFIX® fans were originally designed for automatic engine cooling and cleaning only. However, customers today also value the fact that the fan systems help to save fuel and to comply with emission standards. Haegele added, “We have manufactured 100,000 reversible fans in our first 15 years of business with more orders rapidly coming in. As we continue to innovate, we continue to help our customers reduce their engine downtime. This saves them money on unexpected maintenance, repair and reduced fuel consumption.”

CLEANFIX® reversible fans are available as standard and special equipment from severalrenowned manufacturers and are also available as retrofitting kits for thousands of machine models. Many market-leading manufacturers have endorsed CLEANFIX® fan systems and approved CLEANFIX® as an allied supplier.
