Gibbons range to be showcased at Cereals 2018
It’s almost time for Cereals, and Gibbons Agricultural Fans
is preparing to showcase its high-performance grain store
fans to visitors from across the arable industry.
he Gibbons stand
(1074) will include
its best-selling
crop conditioning
fans and
Airspear® fans for
visitors to peruse, while members
of the expert team will be available
to answer questions and distribute
brochures, giveaways and other
marketing literature.

“Cereals offers us a great
chance to introduce farmers to
our best-selling grain store fans
along with our comprehensive
range of agricultural products
and services”
Gibbons’ steel and aluminium
fans are rated at 0.13-2.2kW and
are available as single phase or
three phase in most sizes. While
designed for use with pedestal
systems, Gibbons’ fans can also
be converted for floor-level use
with a support stand.
New for 2018 is the upgraded
terminal box cover on Gibbons’
fans. Now made of steel rather
than plastic, the more robust
covers offer greater protection
from knocks during movement
and storage on farms.
Via its trusted international
shipping partner, Gibbons can
deliver orders of all sizes across
the UK and beyond and a large
stockholding eliminates lead
times.
Also on display at Cereals will
be the Gibbons Plug&Dry™ range
of crop store fan accessories, a
series of fully-compatible add-ons
designed to make life easier
during the post-harvest period.
The range includes push-button
starters, high-precision
thermostats and heavy-duty
extension cables.
Each of these optional plug-
and-play solutions can be quickly
installed by the user, removing the
cost of having an electrician attend
site.
Visitors will be able to
experience for themselves
Gibbons’ own easy-to-use grain
store fan calculator, an ingenious
tool that advises the optimum
number of fans required for a
given crop store. Users simply
enter a few pieces of key
information and the calculator
does the rest – allowing farmers to
confidently order only as many
fans as they need.
Gibbons will also be
showcasing its essential electrical
farm services, which include motor
rewinds, control panel building,
wiring, lighting and door controls.
Gibbons Agricultural Fans
Manager Josie Knight is looking
forward to the company’s debut
appearance at the annual show:
“We’re excited to meet farmers
from Britain and abroad to chat
about the ups and downs of last
year’s harvest and to see how we
can help them in 2018.
“Cereals offers us a great
chance to introduce farmers to our
best-selling grain store fans along
with our comprehensive range of
agricultural products and services
that can save them money and
make their lives easier.”
