AMARILLO WIND MACHINE SYSTEM

AMARILLO PROPELLER FAN BLADES

Amarillo high efficiency aluminum and solid fiberglass fans achieve maximum velocity to thrust ratio, which produces the most possible air volume, with minimal power loss, providing maximum reach and frost coverage. Today, tests show our fans still rank as the finest available.

Fans are balanced in both length and width to eliminate vibration and provide a long life.

TOWERS

The towers are constructed of 1/4" thick steel with diameters of 20 and 24 inches. Standard tower heights are 34-foot and 40-foot. Our 1/2" thick by 4 foot tall gussets coupled with our 1410 series balanced drive lines allow for minimal vibration in the transmission of power through the tower.

ENGINE PACKAGES

Amarillo Wind Machine Company offers multiple choices of rugged gasoline, propane or natural gas industrial engines to suit any individual requirement. Four- and six-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engines are also available to meet the power requirements of any wind machine.

All engines are equipped with a Murphy automatic safety shutdown system that monitors engine RPM, temperature and oil pressure.

Engines are mounted on a rigid 4" galvanized frame and are complete with a steel tilt hood painted with a durable urethane paint for long term protection.

Standard Engine Packages: Ford, Chevrolet, Cummins or John Deere. Other engine packages are available upon request.

AUTO START OPTION

This system automatically starts and stops the engine with the use of a remote temperature probe. It will also shut the engine down for a malfunction. Operation of the fan drive train is with a centrifugal clutch for smooth transmission of power.
