This week’s fan spotlight features a size 490 Backward-Curved Induced Draft fan, specifically designed for the clean air side of a baghouse at an asphalt plant. This robust fan from our backward-curved series delivers exceptional performance while maintaining low energy consumption. The backward-curved blade design enables the movement of large air volumes at elevated static pressures, achieving high static efficiency.
The fan is driven by a 250hp inverter-duty direct-drive TEFC motor, equipped with shaft grounding and insulated bearings for enhanced reliability. It also incorporates extended lubrication lines, motor position adjustment screws, and a bolted access door with flush interior surfaces for ease of maintenance. This heavy-duty fan boasts a static efficiency rating of 79%, and its grease-lubricated bearings offer an L-10 life exceeding 100,000 hours, ensuring long-term operational performance.
