Evolution Grain Ventilation Fans
View the Farmers Weekly article here.
Our brand new Evolution fan promises to change the way grain is conditioned forever. Featuring a built in differential temperature controller which allows you to set the fan up by turning a dial, it also has a state of the art brushless motor so you can plug it in, walk away and leave it to run on only 30% of the power used by the most popular alternative. Weighs 16kg and has built in carry handles making it much easier to move around the store.
Not only does it feature a built in differential temperature control unit, it also produces the equivalent airflow of a 1.1kw fan unit for 1/3 of the power consumption. Weighing only 16kg and with three built in carrying handles, the Evolution fan is also much easier to move around the store
The Evolution fan has an easy to use controller which allows you to set a differential temperature simply by turning a dial. Sensors will then detect when the outside air temperature is cool enough to be effectively cooling the crop, it will then switch itself on and off accordingly. All you have to do is plug it in, and walk away!
Sounds expensive?
Using unique ‘brushless’ motor technology, combined with a backward curved impeller, the Evolution fan is able to offer the equivalent output of a 1.1kw fan unit with only 1/3 of the power consumed. Your investment could be repaid within twelve months.
Lets do the maths.................
| Purchase Cost | Running cost per annum*** | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Option* | £1,275.00 | £220.00 |
| Evolution Option** | £1,398.00 | £70.00 |
| Difference | Evolution £123.00 Dearer | Evolution £150.00 Cheaper |
*Standard option comprises 2 x 1.1kw fans, 1 x Dual fan differential control unit
**Evolution option comprises 2 x Evolution fan units
***Calculation based on 1000 running hours per annum
The Evolution Fan has a grain temperature probe fitted to the flange inside of the duct, with an external temperature probe fitted to the case of the fan.
The Evolution fan has no external sensing cables running across the stored crop and due to its minimal power consumption, multiple units can be powered from a single plug.
An inbuilt sensor stops the fan running when insufficient power is available upon start up, eliminating problems with low voltage burnout.
