This installation is an example of a purge air system utilizing an AMCA Type “A” Spark Resistant Exhaust Blower. Designed for the OEM as part of the larger purge system to help prevent contamination of electrical surfaces from overheating, corrosive gasses, and dirt by moving clean air through the system. This high-pressure arrangement-1 blower features an aluminum fan wheel and housing for spark resistance.

The quick-ship combustion blower for this burner application comes from our Backward-Inclined Quick Ship (BIQS) line of highly-efficient off-the-shelf fans with pre-set performance ranges specifically designed to meet the time-constrained demands of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
We recently designed and manufactured a custom induced draft fan for a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) application. The design featured our backward-curved technology with an Arrangement 8 configuration.
For this Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) fan application, we custom designed and delivered a high-temperature backward-curved fan with thermal insulation, aluminum cladding, vibration sensors on the bearings, companion flanges, extended lubrication lines, and an inlet box.
This wood product manufacturing application required a belt-driven backward-curved replacement fan matching the dimensions of the existing fan for drop-in-place. The specification called for sandblast preparation with epoxy coating, Teflon coating to give the impeller a non-stick surface, an inlet box, and inlet/outlet expansion joints.
Backward-Curved Fan in Long-Term Storage
We built this fan for our customer’s rotary dryer application. Featuring our rugged backward curved technology with a reinforced housing and base, this fan will operate for decades if properly maintained.
A mere two (2) days after receipt of an emergency rush order, we shipped fan replacement parts including a fan wheel and shaft, bearings, belts, sheaves and bushings, and an inlet cone. This isn’t our average case study, and it was not our average order, but unfortunately, the challenge of fan failure due to poor bearing maintenance is not uncommon.
This straightforward scrap removal application called for a high-efficiency backward curved fan with a premium efficiency motor using an Arrangement 1 V-belt drive and a unitary base.
This dust collector application called for a highly-customized high-pressure blower. The specification included a custom housing and an impeller design for a range of static, dynamic, and thermal loads of operation.
This spray dryer exhaust fan is the third in a set of three we provided for this dairy operation, along with the spray dryer supply fan and a cooling conveying fan. Dairy operations use multi-stage spray dryers to ensure optimal product quality and drying efficiency. The exhaust fan pulls the air and particulate out of the dryer, with airflow components designed to prevent particles from sticking to the fan.
