The new warehouse is located in a business park in Newbury, Ohio just minutes from the company’s manufacturing headquarters in Burton. The additional storage space allows Multi-Wing to stock more parts in the face of a steadily increasing demand dating back to the first quarter of 2010.As a manufacturer of custom engineered axial fans in the HVAC, refrigeration, and engine cooling markets, Multi-Wing America’s expansion is an outgrowth of the company’s popular engineering and service offerings, including expedited delivery.

“Our sustained increases in sales and production have created the opportunities that every business hopes for,” said Vice President of Purchasing John Crowley. ”We have warehouse space allocated in our headquarters and in an adjacent building that simply had to grow on pace with our axial fan orders. With the three large bays in the new warehouse, we will have approximately 12,000 square feet of storage off site in addition to our in-house capacity. The off-site facility is also linked to Tracker, our asset management software, so we have a seamless link that keeps production rolling. The warehouse staff scans the parts out of the inventory in Newbury, and our system updates in real time at the Burton headquarters,” Crowley said.

“The benefits of the new warehouse flow directly to our customers, because our increased capacity ensures the short lead times for all the axial fans that Multi-Wing is known for,” Crowley noted. “The Tracker system also helps keep costs under control, and our quick turnaround on custom axial fans is essential to our customers for two reasons. The most obvious benefit is that our ability to expedite an engineered fan in an emergency is vital in minimizing our customers’ down time. And from an administrative perspective, our ability to provide a custom product on short notice can reduce our customers’ inventory requirements and carrying costs,” Crowley said. “Something as simple as a new warehouse in Newbury creates significant added value for Multi-Wing customers straight down the line by keeping their people working while keeping their costs in check.”

Held tri-annually, the show is the epicenter of new technologies, products and services across the construction and agricultural markets, with more than 140,000 attendees. Multi-Wing held a special demonstration at the show, detailing the research and development process that led to the PressureMAX launch. Among the attendees for the demonstration, Matt Rankin, Engineering Manager for AKG Thermal Systems, was impressed with the PressureMAX features. “We’re always looking for any incremental gain that we can achieve for increased performance requirements in the mobile and compressed air markets,” said Rankin. “And the PressureMAX’s ability to deliver 20 percent more static pressure in a compact cooling envelope will give us just the edge we need in those markets.”

Designed to satisfy the high heat rejection requirements that result from Tier 4, the PressureMAX blade profile is also 5-7 percent more efficient than most airfoil blade designs, saving horsepower and fuel. The PressureMAX’s high efficiency profile also reduces air flow turbulence across the blade, resulting in a lower noise signature. With a diameter range of 24.5 to 51 inches , the adjustable pitch PressureMAX is a glass reinforced polyamide fan available in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 16-blade configurations.

The rugged 3C will also run at twice the speed of standard impellers in temperature extremes while providing excellent airflow and static pressure. The 3C also offers the custom flexibility of the Multi-Wing component part system: a distinct advantage over one-piece cast, fixed pitch fans. With a diameter range of 16 to 31 inches, the 3C is the ideal refrigeration fan for air cooled condensers, blast freezers, chillers, evaporators and food processing and storage.

With its heavy-duty blade root, the 5W is a high-airflow, low-power airfoil fan that delivers high efficiency at high speeds. The 5W’s narrow profile also makes it a great Tier IV solution for heat exchangers, and the 5W’s high-speed, high-pressure capabilities satisfy the rigorous demands of industrial ventilation with a low-noise solution. The 5W is available in left and right hand rotations and has a diameter range of 19.75 to 58 inches.

Built to handle the toughest jobs in plastic or aluminum, the 5W is durable by design and efficient by nature.

The Optimiser 6 software enables users to select the optimum impeller solution for their specific air moving application. Optimiser 6 works as both, a quick reference guide or as an advanced tool in new product development.

Optimiser 6 applies each user’s application requirements including airflow, pressure and power consumption, to select the ideal Multi-Wing impeller to produce the required performance. The Performance Optimiser also provides the user with useful mechanical information, including moment of inertia and axial force for all Multi-Wing impellers.
All the performance data used by the software is produced in Multi-Wing’s own wind tunnel in accordance with the AMCA A/ISO 5801 standard. The sound and mechanical information provided is based on generally accepted and test proven mathematical models. Optimiser 6 is available for download by clicking on the Optimiser logo on the Multi-Wing International home page.

The 7Z continues the success of Multi-Wing’s popular sickle series with a diameter range of 504-1029mm (20 to 40 inches). Using Multi-Wing’s heavy-duty Z hubs, the 7Z will be available in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 16-bladed configurations in glass-reinforced polypropylene and glass-reinforced polyamide. The narrow-profile 7Z delivers low-noise performance in tight spaces, and will be available to the global market on April 30, 2009.

The 10GL is designed with durable, gravity cast aluminum hubs, and the blades are adjustable in one-degree increments. For superior result in applications requiring large fans, the 10GL provides heavy-duty performance at a fraction of the weight.
