In April of 2020, we introduced our new 3-Year Gold Standard Warranty, which now comes standard on all the products we design and build. Now the innovation continues with the launch of our new line of quick ship industrial blowers for OEM dust collection applications. This off-the-shelf line of high-volume single-width backward inclined fans is called BIQS (Backward Inclined Quick Ship), shipping in 12 days with no expedite fee.
The question about how to get a quote for an industrial blower comes up more often than you might think. The first trick is to also search for how to get a quote for an industrial fan. Same product, different function. A blower is just a forced draft fan that sucks air in to push it through the system instead of induced draft pulling it through the system. See “related content” below to find more details and insights on that nuance.
There’s more to a centrifugal fan than blade structure (versus axial) and function (to move process air and other materials as part of a larger system). Centrifugal fan airflow is at the core of how it works.
Industrial fan fires are unlikely, but they can create sparks that can cause fires if you’re not careful. What causes sparks in industrial fans? The answer to that question is moving parts and ferrous materials.
There was no “business as usual” this spring. But “business as unusual” looked very different depending on your vantage point. For us, it meant finding a way to keep our employees safe and healthy while maintaining our standards of quality, reliability, and on-time delivery throughout the global pandemic. On top of all that and in the midst of a record-breaking production schedule, we had the opportunity to expedite fans for another essential business: emergency medical mask production.
In the world of centrifugal fans and blowers for industrial process applications, “what’s the difference between a fan and a blower” is a trick question. That’s because there actually is no difference at all. That’s right. Whether you need an industrial fan or blower for your operation, the product designs are the same.
Fan static efficiency is the measure of the airstream’s potential, or optimal energy consumption, as determined by the ratio of power output to the power supplied.
Time for some good news. As of April 2020, we are raising the bar on our Standard Warranty. Every product we make now comes with a 3-Year Gold Standard Warranty.
Which industrial fan type do you need in your process to achieve both optimal static efficiency and reliable operation? Considerations include what the fan is processing from clean air to mild particulate to highly abrasive materials, as well as volume and static pressure. Once you know those variables, you can make the fan static efficiency calculation to select the right fan.
If you’ve ever seen, heard or felt a pressurized industrial fan pulsing, you’ve probably also seen how damaging the resulting vibrations can be. Surgeless fan design moderates volume to avoid that costly scenario.
