SMITHCO'S 60" to 76"
8 BLADE PROPELLER
· Superior Quality Propellers

Smithco's 60" to 76" 8 blade propellers are used extensively in track loaded lumber kilns drying softwoods. This propeller is designed for improved performance from 1 1/8" (30 mm) w.g. to above 2" (50 mm) of static pressure as measured across the kiln's fan wall, and the maximum recommended fan speed is 925 RPM. They are made of stress relieved, heat-treated, high grade permanent mold cast aluminum alloy for trouble free service in rugged kiln environments to 350°F (175°C). These propellers have adjustable pitch blades and tested reversibility with full flow in both directions. All Smithco propellers have, keyed taper lock bushings and stainless steel hardware, and the blade pitch is easily set using the Smithco SMI-DG Degree Gauge.

Smithco Degree Gauge

The unique Smithco Degree Gauge makes setting the blade pitch fast, easy and accurate. Select your desired blade angle on the gauge. Slide it into the special index hole in the blade and rotate the blade until it stops. That's all you do and you can be sure all the blades have the same angle setting. The hinged clamp on the SMI-DG-H model allows setting the blade pitch angle of a propeller assembled on a motor shaft.
