Maximize your storage potential and eliminate the risk of crop spoilage with the most robust on-floor ventilation system on the market. Evans & Pearce’s Polycool Laterals and LV Fans are designed to provide powerful, uniform cooling for flat-floor grain stores, ensuring your crop stays in peak condition from harvest to sale.
Polycool Laterals: The “loader-proof” ventilation duct
Forget the flimsy metal ducts that dent and collapse the moment a bucket gets near them. Polycool Laterals are the heavy-duty, modern alternative for the busy farm.
- Unrivalled durability: Made from food-grade, twin-wall plastic, these 450mm ducts are incredibly strong. They can withstand the rigors of loading and unloading, making them virtually “loader-proof.”
- Maximum airflow: Featuring a massive perforated area, the unique ribbed construction ensures that grain never masks the holes. This allows for consistent, equal air distribution across the entire floor.
- Smart versatility: Supplied in 6m x 450mm lengths, these laterals can be added to existing duct runs or connected directly to a fan. They are perfect for all crops, including small seeds like Oilseed Rape (OSR), without the need for additional filters.
- Easy maintenance: Unlike underfloor systems, Polycool Laterals are easy to move, clean, and store when the shed is empty.
LV Fans: High-performance crop conditioning
To get the most out of your laterals, you need a fan that can handle the pressure. The LV (Lateral Ventilation) Fan range is built in the UK specifically for the demanding environment of a grain store.
- Tailored power: Available in sizes ranging from 0.75kW to a massive 75kW, we have a fan for every store size—from small bays to industrial-scale operations.
- Built for the elements: Specifically designed to handle dust-laden air, these fans feature high-quality UK builds with options for galvanized or stainless steel finishes and even ATEX configurations.
- High volume and pressure: Capable of moving high volumes of air per hour, but for lower costs per unit than pedestal mounted fans. Ensuring that even the deepest piles of grain are cooled quickly and efficiently.
- Plug-and-play automation: Fully compatible with Grain Fan Assist technology, allowing you to automate cooling based on differential temperatures. This means your fans only run when the ambient air is cool enough to be effective, saving you thousands in energy costs.
