Turbex Windmills - A brief overview HD

Turbex Windmills. www.turbextrading.co.za At Turbex we’ve been manufacturing rotary windmills since 1981. We offer the lowest total cost water pumping solutions available anywhere. Turbex Windmills. Our rotary windmills work anywhere in the country as we offer different diameter wheels as well as different tower heights. We pump from any depths, shallow water like rivers, lakes and dams or boreholes twice as deep as other windmills due to our efficient rotary pumps. We pump water over distances of 30 kilometre and head over 250 meter. The Turbex is the modern version of the traditional windmill where the well proven helical screw pump is driven with wind power. 40 years ago that was a major break through in windmill technology and still remain so today. The machines were developed in South Africa for the African conditions, and after 30 years of experience and more than 3000 machines being successfully installed, the Turbex is definitely the leader in South Africa as far as pumping performance and water pumping cost is concerned. There is no windmill in South Africa, and any other place in the world that we know of, that can match the Turbex’s performance under the same conditions. The Turbex pumps more water for smaller installations which dramatically reduces the pumping cost. It pumps more water from deeper bore holes, which very few, if any other windmill can equal. The machine also pumps water over great distances which is not achievable with any reciprocating (up-and-down ) windmill. The Turbex is also used very successfully for irrigation purposes. Under certain conditions the Turbex exceeds pumping rates of 160 000 liters per day. Every Turbex windmill use a modern pump called a helical rotary pump that is driven by the wind. This pump rotates whilst the traditional wind pump operates with a reciprocating (up-and-down) motion. The helical rotary pumps are the leading bore hole pump type in South Africa today. Take a typical example. A Turbex Wind Turbine with a 4.6 diameter wheel, operating in a 20 km/h wind and installed on a borehole 30 m (100ft) deep, will deliver 30 000 liters of water per day. That is almost 11 000 000 litres per year! Getting water at great depths was uneconomical in the past. The Turbex has now made it a feasible reality. The manufacturers of the rotary borehole pumps certify that these pumps can operate at depths of up to 200 – 240 m. Very few, if any, other wind driven units can reach these depths. You can install the Turbex windmill at the water source and pump it to wherever you need it. Even the smallest Turbex windmill will maintain a pumping rate of 1000 liters/h over a distance of 15 km in a typical wind speed of 20 km/h using a 40 mm pipeline. The Turbex windmill is as reliable as it is effective. The following features make these machines especially reliable: • The Turbex windmill automatically feathers out of strong winds to prevent over speeding and can absorb gusts of wind without damage. • At w
