| Designed and developed by Neale Consulting Engineers Ltd. (NCEL), UK, Poldaw Windpumps are intended principally for applications in developing countries. They are a truly “appropriate technology” for rural water supply in many situations. |
| The Poldaw Windpumps are a range of medium sized low cost machines. The designers have extensive experience of appropriate technology machinery design, refining and finalising the “Intermediate Technology Development Group” (a UK charity) design of its “IT” windpump for the developing world during the 1980’s. They have been involved with the design and production of windpumps and other machinery for use in developing countries since 1982. From their experience they have identified the importance of certain design criteria which are applicable to windpumps anywhere in the world:- |
| · Robustness and reliability (design life-span of at least 20 years) |
| · Practical and cost-effective manufacture |
| · Easy, safe installation and maintenance |
| · Start-up in low wind speed (3 m/s or less) |
| · Survival in high winds (50 m/s, 180 km/h) |
| · Adequate pumping capacity |
| · Low speed operation for smoothness and reliability |
| The Poldaw designs meet these criteria, and at the same time achieve the lowest cost possible without compromising robustness and reliability. |

| Benefits of Poldaw Windpumps:- Poldaw Windpumps were designed and developed using modern engineering design know-how, achieving: |
| · Ultra-low operation and maintenance costs: maintenance is a simple annual procedure |
| · Proven, reliable, robust, sustainable technology |
| · Manufactured locally using readily available materials, to benefit the local economy |
| · Value for money, costs competitive with other pumping methods and lower than most other windpumps |
