Windmill & Pumps

Track Windmills use wind energy to pump water efficiently from sources such as bores, creeks, or aquifers. As the wind turns the rotor, it powers a mechanical linkage that drives the pump—no electricity or fuel required.

We pair our windmills with robust windmill pumps in 1¾", 2", or 2½" sizes to suit different flow and depth requirements. This setup offers a reliable, low-maintenance solution for water delivery in remote or off-grid locations.

Track Windmill systems are ideal for:

• Rural properties
• Agricultural operations
• Sustainable water extraction in windy regions

Environmentally friendly and cost-effective, these systems are a proven choice where conventional power isn't available or practical.

Specifications

Windmill:

• Galvanised steel frame, supports, blades, tail, rod, and pullout arm
• Cast iron centre wheel, pivot block, link, pulley, and G casting, PA 10 undercoated, finished red
• Bearings: nylon on main shaft, SKF ball racers on pivot block, and eccentric link
• Removable stain pipe assembly with easy access to pivot block bearing, red powder coat finish

Pump:

• Pump sizes available:

1. L 170 1^3/4"   1" x ^3/4" BSP
2. L 176 2"        1" x 1" BSP
3. L 174 2^1/2"   1^1/4" x 1^1/4 BSP

• Bronze body with frost plug
• Brass glandless top
• Brass and bronze internals

Things to consider:

• Maximum suction: 7.5m
• Water supply should be sufficient to maintain a constant level in the well when the windmill is running at maximum speed
• Most efficient when pumping into a reservoir then gravity fed
• Plan for days when there is no wind
• The internal pipe size from the pump to the reservoir should be no less than 25mm
• Windmill should be set clear of trees and buildings
• Can be set up directly above the bore or on a side draft
• Frost protection: the pump can be set up below ground in a pit, or covered or protected in another way

Note:

If the water level is between 7.5m and 31m, a Deepwell pump is required with the specification as follows:

• K 47 cast iron compensating head with glandless top
• L 103 deep well cylinder
• For a deep well application, you will need to set up the windmill and pump directly above your bore
