OUR LONGEST EXPERIENCE WE HAVE IS IN THE SMALL WIND AREA
We have manufactured our own 1 KW down wind turbine that was started 15 years ago to our current Vertical Axis turbines. We pride ourselves on our ability to manufacture almost every component required on turbines up to 30 KW.
BLADE REFURBISHING/REPAIR
Equipment and tools allow us to repair any damaged blades that are removed from the turbine. We are able to handle blades up to 20 ft long and up to 1500 Lbs in wood, fibreglass and composite materials. In the case of prototypes, we manufacture the complete blade.
Towers– The tilt up tower of sectional tubing continues to be a favourite for most customers. We manufacture the units based on the engineering requirements for your site and turbine project. For larger turbines, the flanged tower sections are preferred and in-house tooling to manufacture these is available.
MANUFACTURING
As the focus is to continue to design and manufacture our own turbines, the competencies of prototype to production run can be performed at Farm Energy Inc. We have fully equipped machine shops, grinding shops, a wood working shop and a generator manufacturing facility.
This is all complemented by more than 10 work stations consisting of assembly stations, electrical testing stations, quality inspection areas and is all run under ISO 9000 compliant environment. We continue to manufacture our own components for Farm Energy Inc. machines and for competitive models repair parts. Focus on contract turbine component or whole goods manufacturing will continue to be pushed to keep our price structure competitive.
Services
Wind turbines do require annual inspections and periodic maintenance.
This service consists of review of all structural bolting and guy cable systems on the ground, the inspection of anchor systems or concrete foundations for deterioration.
Emergency and scheduled repair services for bearing and electrical repairs are performed in the field with our service truck fleet.
One large part of our service dept is the battery services – we do cell changes and repair. This will be done on site as it may permit or return to our facility if a larger extraction and restoration is required.
SUPPLY
Our current inventory of stock allows us to maintain customers up time of their equipment to meet and exceed their expectations.
Farm Energy Inc. is a Firetrace Distributor (www.firetrace.com) for the asset protection of all your electronic equipment from chargers to inverters and braking systems. We have a full line of filtration products for oil, air and HVAC. Our supply network of inverters, chargers, batteries and protection devices will complete any of your projects you may present.
ELECTRICAL
We design and build panel boxes and control systems for many renewable projects. Our licensed Electricians and Electronics Techs will make sure only qualified components are used or exchanged. Basic inverter service is done at Farm Energy Inc. and a strategic alliance with a local inverter service center has been made. We will choose to repair and not use the exchange mentality of these expensive components. A temporary exchange system is available on request until repair is complete or disposition is made.
