Fan Specifications
The Fan Shield
Certain conditions cause material kicked up by the air cart tire to collect on the fan intake. Fan Shields help reduce the build-up of chaff on the fan screens.
The Spinning Fan Screen Option
On occasion, wind and straw conditions are such that straw can build-up on the intake screen of the air cart fan(s). This build-up can cause reduced fan performance which may lead to plugging of the air kit. The Spinning Fan Screen option reduces straw build-up in windy or loose residue conditions.
- available for Standard, High-Speed, or High-Capacity Fans; and,
- standard for High-Pressure Fans.
Aftermarket kits are available from Bourgault Parts through your local Bourgault Dealer.
