Case Study

SICIM - Outdoor cabinet cooling in extreme environments.

Paywelders equipped with 4/4X DTS 3081 cooling units.

Paywelder machines at work in a desert environment.

Application requirements

Thousands of SICIM machines, including pipe-layers, paywelders, excavators, bulldozers and drills, are used to perform demanding tasks in the implementation of global projects.

These machines operate under extremely harsh operating conditions, e.g. in deserts or in high mountains and are exposed to daily high temperatures, high humidity, salty environment, sand, etc.
