AEROTECH WINS *AE 50' AWARD Aerotech, Inc., was honored with a 1991 “AE 50" award for its new Aerocod™ evaporative cooling panel with exclusive extruded-aluminum header and footer design. The AE 50 Award salutes companies for developing the most outstanding innovations in engineered products or systems for food and agriculture. Aerotech Panel Wins AE 50 Honor LANSING, Mich. Acrolcch, Inc. captured a 1991 “AE 50” Award from “Agricultural Engi neering” magazine for Aerolech’s Aerocoor evaporative cooling panel with exclusive, extruded aluminum header and footer design which makes them stur dier, easier to service, and easier to install. The AE 50 Award salutes com panies for developing the year’s most outstanding innovations in engineered products or systems for food and agriculture. A panel of national engineering experts selected this year’s winners from numerous nominations submitted by companies from many different industries. The judges selected “develop ments of companies that embod ied the application of new technol ogy or the innovative application of older technology” and were considered likely to make “worth while contributions to the advancement of engineering tech nology for food and agriculture.” The extruded footers and head ers on the Acrocool cooling panels arc stronger, lighter, and more rigid than previous stamped steel units. And, unlike cooling panels made of stainless steel, they will not corrode, Acrocool’s six-inch thick cel lulose panels, mounted entirely on the outside wall, allow for evapor ative cooling with no loss of exist ing space, while “L”-shaped mounting flanges simplify installation. The PVC water distribution pipe is sized for the particular sys tem to ensure even pad welting. Using the natural cooling effect of evaporation, Acrocool pads can reduce inlet air temperatures by 10-20* F on most days, and even more under ideal conditions.

These models replace the 1508 and 1008 in the line. The 15-ft. cutting width and 112 degrees of wing flexibility (90 degrees up and 22 degrees down) make the 1518 a logical choice for productive cutting in a broad range of situations. The 1018 is available in an integral, center pull-type, and 30-in. offset pull type configuration for meeting a variety of application require ments with a convenient, produc tive 10-ft. culling width. Both models have a Unibody™ deck design with continuous welds and box-beam construction. This provides greater strength than spot weld designs and an easy-to-clean surface which minimizes trash buildup that can contribute to premature deck rusting.

The gearcases are rated at 120 hp at 1,000 rpm and 100 hp at 540 rpm for blade tip speeds up to 178 mph depending on model and rpm. The offset 1018 is available only with a 540 rpm pto. The choice of a Cat. 5 constant velocity (CV) or shielded drive line is available for powering the transfer case of the 1518. A Cat. 4 CV driveline is used on the 1018 pull-type configurations. The CV driveline transmits power smooth ly and quietly in turns up to 80 degrees for increased maneuvera bility with the pto engaged. A Cat. 4 shielded driveline is used on the integral 1018 and to power the gearcases on the wings of the 1518. The drivelines are protected by factory-preset clutches that are self adjusting for convenience'and reduced maintenance time. The standard axle for the 1518 is available with either four or six wheels. An optional heavy duty GT262 tractor does gardening and lawn care jobs at a lawn tractor price, according to the John Deere engineers who combined cost-effective lawn tractor components with heavy-duty parts from lawn and garden tractors to hold the line on price.

On the 1018, the wheel supports clamp to the rear axle and permit the opera tor to position the wheels to match the application. Three blade choices are avail able on both models for efficient performance in downed material, stalk and brush cutting, or shredding. A shielded blade-access hole makes it easier to service the blades on the 1018 and the center section blade on the 1518. Wing blades are serviced with the wings in the raised position. A lock sec ures each wing for service and transport. Both cutters feature a mechanical transport lock. Rubber front and solid rear safety shields are standard equip ment. Chain shielding is available for added protection. The ISIS will be available in January; the 1018 is currently available. Tractor
