Why do you need Flexxaire products?
Reversing fan technology from Flexxaire is helping farmers and contractors around the world to reduce the costs of operating their big machinery. Many vital agricultural assets including tractors, combines, telehandlers, self-propelled sprayers, potato harvesters and beet harvesters use multiple radiators and have a huge appetite for cooling air. This entraps dust and dirt which clogs radiators and intake screens, leading to reduced efficiency, overheated fluids in engine, gearbox and hydraulic systems and significantly reduced air-conditioning performance.
A fan with a dirty radiator can easily use an extra 5hp for the same cooling capacity. Flexxaire reversible fan technology not only offers you optimum cooling efficiency, it also solves the problem of dirty, clogged-up radiators, restoring full power and saving fuel. All at the touch of a button.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
How do Flexxaire reversing fans work? More than just a variable pitch fan, Flexxaire is a variable pitch engine cooling fan system that understands when and how the pitch should change. It provides total control of airflow, keeps radiators clean, maximises engine performance, saves fuel, and is robustly built and maintenance free.
Flexxaire’s high-performance reversible fan blades are designed and built for operation in extreme conditions. They utilise high quality glass filled PAG (nylon) for use in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 110°C and to achieve a high tip speed of up to 20,000 FPM. The blade shape is optimised to deliver maximum airflow and the high static pressures needed to meet Tier IV emission requirements.
Flexxaire’s in motion variable pitch hub allows the fan blade pitch to be adjusted at any fan speed. Hub components are precision engineered and materials carefully selected to ensure perfect balance without any voids or porosity in material structure. All joints are sealed with high-quality O-rings. The mechanical spring loaded fail-safe feature ensures maximum airflow if control is lost. Designed to withstand exposure to debris and caustic fluids, vibration up to 20Gs and temperatures between -40° to 120°C, the Pitch Sensor is designed to last longer than the engine.
