Powell Bulk Barns
Complete Furnace Replacement with Dependable,
Efficient MarCo System.
|
 |
-
Direct
replacement for 511, Maxi II and Maxi I Powell furnaces.
-
Automated
damper controls can be mounted with minimum effort.
-
Available
with either 5hp or 7.5 hp motor (7.5 hp recommended for box
barns).
-
American-made
burners of latest design for LPG, natural gas or oil.
-
Fan rotor
with "air-foil" blades for most efficient movement of air. The 5
hp motor-equipped fan provides 20% more air than Powell's OEM
squirrelcage fan with same hp motor.
-
The fan is strategically located below the heat exchanger,
providing uniform air movement over entire heat exchanger
surface, thus securing uniform cooling and maximum possible
efficiency.
-
MarCo heat exchanger furnaces provide practically the same fuel
consumption as direct-fired furnaces.

"MarCo Cures
BETTER and FASTER."
Like a growing number
of successful flue-cured tobacco farmers, Jeffrey Parks selected the
MarCo system to meet his heat exchanger needs. Jeff tends 60-70 acres of
tobacco in Wayne County, NC, and is known as an excellent planner and
manager. "I have never gone into anything unless I knew it would work,"
says Jeff. "After comparing all the available heat exchangers, I chose
MarCo. It was the right decision."

The Parks tobacco
operation features 17 Powell bulk barns-1981-87 models-which were
purchased used. Fourteen of the units have been converted to the
MarCo system. "Since the barns had some age, we decided to install
the MarCo furnace and burners too," Jeff reports. "Now we are curing
out faster and better. We save half a day to a day compared to the
old system, mainly due to better air flow."
Jeff says gas use per barn cycle is remaining about the same as with
the traditional Powell curing equipment. "The MarCo is just a really
efficient system, and it's giving us high-quality cures too," Jeff
concludes.
