The Rotary Principle
Why is the Turbex different from traditional windmills? It is designed to work on a different principle, the Rotary Principle. The Turbex uses a modern type pump called a helical rotary pump that is driven by the wind. This pump rotates whilst the traditional pump operates with a reciprocating (up-and-down) motion. The rotary pumps available today consists of a fixed rubber housing with a simple rotary element. 
ADVANTAGES OF THE ROTARY PUMPThis well-proven pumping method now has the following advantages: - Non-pulsating flow
- Positive displacement
- Compactness
- Simplicity
- Efficiency of more than 70%
- Very long life-expectancy
These advantages make the rotary action borehole pump very suitable for its application. STABILITY IN WINDThe Turbex is designed to overcome the problem of the shaft turning the windmill head out of the wind. This makes the Turbex unique. This design is protected by various patents. DEEPER WATERGetting water at great depths was uneconomical in the past. The Turbex has now made it a feasible reality. The manufacturers of the rotary borehole pumps certify that these pumps can operate at depths of up to 200 - 240 m. Very few, if any, other wind driven units can reach these depths. PUMP WATER FOR KILOMETERS You can install the Turbex at the water source and pump it to wherever you need it. Even the smallest Turbex will maintain a pumping rate of 1000 litres/h over a distance of 15 km in a typical windspeed of 20 km/h using a 40 mm pipeline.
