A Hot Problem

In 1988 a truck driver named Lynn Denton had a problem.  His problem was a common one.  When his brakes got hot, they started to fade and increased his stopping distance.  Now, like most of us, Lynn liked being able to stop, in fact, he was downright fond of it.  So he began to look for an answer to this problem.  His solution, a simple but efficient turbine that attached inside the drum and forced cooling air between the drum and friction material.  After numerous design improvements and six patents the BrakeTurbine as we know it today came into being.  Its uncomplicated concept did what mechanics and engineers had been struggling for years to accomplish, efficiently lower the temperature of the brake assembly.

An Added Bonus

The reason Lynn Denton developed a device that forced air into the brake was to cool it.  At the time he had no thoughts of keeping drum and friction material clean and dry.  Yet the blowing air across the brake assembly did just that.  Combined with the cooling effects of BrakeTurbines this led to extraordinary increases in the life of his brakes.

BrakeTurbines on the Road

Lynn's personal discoveries about the advantages of BrakeTurbines have been reproduced by thousands of users in the ten years that BrakeTurbines have been available to the trucking industry.  Time and again they have told us how Lynn Denton's discovery has improved their stopping power and lengthened their brake's life.  We would love adding savings to your bottom line to our list of success stories.  Contact us for more information.
