‘Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come;’ Victor Hugo’s quote could have been written for Blackpool based 4Navitas (Green Energy Solutions) Ltd who approached us for help in supplying extruded ‘leading edges’ for the blades and spreaders on their Vertical Axis Turbines.

Vertical Axis Turbines offer a very reliable cost effective alternative to the currently more conventional horizontal ones, are visually less intrusive, quieter and are both bird and bat friendly.

The extruded edges, parabolic in shape, were previously formed from sheet; as they needed to be very thin, with close tolerances, low surface roughness and machined for easy fixing.

ItÂ’s a great innovation that weÂ’re proud to play a part in
