Wearplate improved by variable composition
Wearplate supplied by Ace Arc has been designed to meet the arduous operating conditions encountered in the quarrying, construction and mining industries, but is also suitable for many general uses
Applications include HVAC, cooling towers, condensers, chillers, air-cooled heat exchangers, ventilators and spray booths.
The props are available in two-, three-, four- and five-blade configurations in standard diameters ranging from 20 to 60in, and are offered with an adjustable or optimised fixed-pitch blade option.
The new medium duty props are built on the advanced composite technology and optimised aerodynamic blade profiles used in the original Swifter SW Series props.
Advantages include greater corrosion resistance from exposure to chemicals and moisture, as well as higher total efficiency and less blade vibration for quieter operation.
Due to the glass-fibre blade construction, Swifter props have superior structural integrity and can typically be operated at higher speed limits as compared with thermoplastic or fabricated sheet metal props.
Swifter props are also lighter in weight than comparable aluminium cast or other metal props.
