QSK38 TIER 4 ENGINE
FOR MINING APPLICATIONS
IT GETS THE JOB DONE
The QSK38 has a strong reputation for the most demanding applications.
But in the world of mining, we know you always need more. That’s why we’ve
added technological improvements that enable more consistent power at every
rpm and designed an engine that can withstand the challenging conditions mine
operators face.
REAL INNOVATION.
REAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The QSK38 is a proven design. But the world doesn’t stand still.
That’s why we’ve added upgraded components with stronger
capabilities that increase productivity without compromising
durability or reliability.
ADVANCED SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR)
TECHNOLOGY allows the engine to meet global emissions
regulations without increasing stress on the engine, increased heat
rejection, or significant changes to the engine footprint, or available
ratings. By using SCR technology, we are able to optimize engine
performance, maximize power density and engine life equating to
best-in-class cost of production (COP).
NANONET® ADVANCED MEDIA TECHNOLOGY filters out
the smallest impurities that impede optimal engine performance,
extending maintenance intervals and keeping your engine running
longer. Extended service intervals mean less downtime for routine
maintenance and more uptime for profitable productivity.
MODULAR COMMON RAIL FUEL SYSTEM (MCRS) provides
precise control of the fuel ejection event that results in lower noise,
vibration and smoke, and optimized fuel economy.
DATA IS POWERFUL TOO
Through Cummins PrevenTech® mining, we can empower you with
innovative digital solutions for remote engine monitoring, prognostics,
and customer alert creation and notifications, which improve
productivity, reduce costs, and optimize maintenance and servicing.
DURABILITY BUILT-IN
Thanks to their reliable design and clever technology, the QSK38 has
been proven in mines around the world time and again. No matter
the mining environment, the QSK38 consistently delivers market
leading availability.
NANOFORCE® AIR FILTERS can more than double your filter life,
extend maintenance intervals, keep your engine running longer and
improve COP.
ELIMINATOR™ SELF-CLEANING FILTRATION SYSTEM
combines full-flow and bypass filters with an oil pressure-powered
centrifuge; this system extends oil drain intervals and reduces
consumable waste, while improving COP.

BREAKING NEW GROUND
WITH PLANET 2050
In 2014, Cummins adopted its first comprehensive sustainability plan. Planet 2050 builds
on this with 2050 aims and incremental 2030 goals. One of those goals is to partner with
customers to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from products in the field by
55 MILLION METRIC TONS. This is accomplished by improving the efficiency of our products.
