Fans and Blade Parts for Australian Busses
Ross TuffBond provide a range of fans to suit any number of blades for any bus and engine, all which have been wind tunnel tested to AMCA standard for strength under working conditions.
The blades can be supplied in glass reinforced polypropylene, glass reinforced polyamide and glass reinforced anti static polyamide, which are all designed to meet airflow and high pressure cooling demands of today’s highway, mining and off-highway equipment.
The blades are available in both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation.
The fans themselves have a unique aerofoil design resulting in higher efficiency. This efficiency means lower noise, less power consumption or better performance for the same power.
The fans are manufactured using high strength, aluminium hubs and nylon blades.
They are lightweight, thus resulting in a lower moment of inertia, reducing wear and stress on motors and bearing; and high in strength, resulting in a lower maintenance cost and the impeller can be utilised in tough applications.
Ross TuffBond manufacturing carbon steel billet pulleys for a range of Mercedes Scania and Volvo buses
Due to the dusty conditions and the fact that most OEM pulleys are cast iron most rear engined buses suffer from pulley and belt system failure.
Ross TuffBond has taken that into consideration and have been manufacturing carbon steel billet pulleys for a range of Mercedes, Scania and Volvo buses, used by State Transit Authority buses and the Westbus/ Hills buses in Sydney along with many others, all with great success.
Due to the high carbon content of the material used by Ross, these pulleys will outlast OEM products by four times. Breakdowns and overheating problems, due to pulley wear and belts coming off, become a thing of the past.
The pulleys are priced anywhere up to 50% cheaper compared to genuine products and the other major saving is labour, due to the fact that Ross pulleys outlast the rest.
