Polycool Plastic Grain Pedestals
- Manufactured using food-grade, virgin polymer (added strength).
- Available in Standard or Maxi sizes.
- Constructed from robust, twin wall plastic.
- Larger and longer slots to allow the air to flow freely through the crop.
- Ribbed construction not only adds strength, it stops the crop from blocking the perforations and allows equal airflow throughout the base of the pedestal.
- Polycool Standard for use with VBW8 or Evolution fans.
- Polycool Maxi for use with HFM225 fans.
- Over 25,000 units now sold throughout the World.
Why is only the bottom of the pipe slotted?
Moving air will always follow the path of least resistance. When sucking air out of grain, if the entire pedestal was slotted, most of the air would be drawn from the immediate vicinity of the top metre of extension pipe. Having the base section slotted, forces air to be drawn across the lower section of the grain and from a much wider area.
Strength
Plastic pedestals are infinitely stronger than metal pedestals. They can be hit with a grain bucket and unlike their metal equivalent, will not bend. When stores are being emptied, loader drivers can drive the bucket straight under the unit and dig it out quickly, without risk of damage.
Airflow
Airflow tests have proven Polycool allow fans to run at maximum performance, both sucking and blowing into the pedestal. With over 25,000 units on farms across Europe, the numbers speak for themselves.
