High Tech 13

12 High Tech
The unique, worldwide-patented separator technology guarantees that the HYLA is a
state-of-the-art product.
The HYLA GST ltration system is based on one of many fascinating natural phenomenons, the
geyser. The air and dust entering the HYLA water pan create an upward stream of water – the
HYLA geyser. This effect assures optimized ltration by creating a mixture of water droplets and
dust particles at the separator.
Only high quality materials and meticulous production methods (certied by ISO 9001) will
guarantee the life span and reliability of our product. HYLA complies with all worldwide
recognized test standards, for example TÜV, SEV, ETL, JET, KETI, QAS, etc.
State-of-the-art manufacturing processes as well as steadily
increasing production facilities are essential to provide steady
growth of the corporation.
HYLA stands for quality and condence.
Please ask your representative to inform you about
the HYLA Warranty, and keep your Warranty Card for
future reference.
