New Year , new feature for Gibbons Agricultural Fans

After an exciting grain fan launch back in May and a busy year supplying its full range of crop cooling solutions , Essex-based Gibbons Agricultural Fans has begun 2018 by improving its best-selling product .
| LAMMA

T he terminal box casing on Gibbons ’ centrifugal crop conditioning fans has now been upgraded from plastic to steel , making the units more robust and reliable than ever .

The new terminal boxes have been added to the entire range of steel and aluminium Gibbons grain store fans , which are rated at 0.13- 2.2kW and are available as single phase or three phase in most sizes . In addition , Gibbons supplies mobile Airspear ® fans for cooling hot spots in stored crops . Via its trusted international shipping partner , Gibbons delivers orders of all sizes across the UK and beyond . However , in order to satisfy nationwide demand and
make it as easy as possible for farmers in all parts of the UK to access its fans , Gibbons is continuing to supply the full range via a network of exclusive stockists and resellers located across the country .
Gibbons will also be showcasing its low-volume grain fans and electrical services to tens of thousands of visitors at the LAMMA show on January 17th and 18th .
Gibbons Agricultural Fans Manager Josie Knight is excited ahead of the 2018 season : “ We had a great response to the launch last year and were delighted to help so many farmers look after their stored crops during the postharvest period .”
“ We ’ ve upgraded our fans at no extra cost to farmers and are
looking forward to showing them off during our debut appearance at LAMMA . We ’ ll also be inviting distributors to join us as official partners .”
There ’ s lots of uncertainty over Brexit and the economy as we enter 2018 , and because none of us can predict what the year ahead will bring it ’ s more important than ever to make electrical processes in farm buildings as efficient as possible . With this in mind , Gibbons offers a comprehensive package of electrical services for farm buildings including mains power , control boards and panels , thermostatic controls , lighting and wiring .
Ms Knight adds : “ Dealing with several contractors for electrical and mechanical services is time
consuming , inconvenient and expensive , therefore having a single point of contact makes life so much easier for our clients , while costs can be reduced by combining jobs in a single site visit . Plus , our engineers will attend site at a time that suits the client in order to minimise disruption .”
