With a dedicated Laboratory available to test samples of customers’ products, we are able to design the right solution every time, even creating bespoke designs, to solve our customers’ specific problems. We also offer outline drawings, assembly drawings and layouts along with 3D models of any of our products and systems.
Technical Software used by ACI: Autodesk Inventor (3D modelling, drawings, basic rendering & animation) Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical (2D CAD work).
Product Assembly
Our Product Assembly team are well-equipped to assemble the full and diverse range of products from ACI’s varied portfolio.
This includes small fractional horsepower fans all the way up to large 110kW units, as well as the many Higher-Level Assemblies (HLA’s) that we now produce for customers.
A wide variety of component parts are also held in stock and our machine shop allows us to produce small batch quantities of these at short-notice.
Product Testing
ACI can offer full product testing at our Research and Development facility in Axminster, Devon. This area includes a working bottling/canning line, general conveyors for ‘component’ drying and an array of air flow systems for the testing of fans.

Customer Site Visits
To assist our US customers, ACI can offer a face-to-face site visit. Whether this is to acquire information regarding an air knife system installation (i.e. to fully understand the customer’s line speed, product/conveyor sizes, product proximity and the level of drying, cooling or cleaning required) or simply to discuss a new fan application, a member of the ACI team will be on hand to help develop a strong working relationship moving forward.
