Time to Get it Right

Even under ideal circumstances, achieving 95-percent-or-better on-time delivery is well above average. It’s near perfection. It takes effort, intention, and the whole team to keep the lead time down and our on-time average up. The transparency of on-time delivery tracking shows customers how serious we are about it so that they know they can trust our lead times. It also helps us spot trends and get ahead of issues – or at least recover more quickly when they arise.

Industrial Fan V-Belt Installation, Alignment, and Tensioning

Many industrial fans operate using a v-belt drive. The constant motion and friction make it very important to ensure proper fan belt alignment and tension upon installation and during routine maintenance. Getting this right will help extend the life of the fan belt. Proper installation is based on the specifications in the installation and operation manual (IOM).

Impact of System Effects on the Centrifugal Fan Performance Curve

Wondering why your fan is underperforming? If your application system effects were not calculated into your original fan specification, you might be experiencing performance below the expected centrifugal fan performance curve from the manufacturer.

Updated Application Page on High-Temperature Blower Fans

Air and heat are two essential components of industrial process manufacturing. Air serves as the conveyor, and heat is a transformer. In applications using high-temperature blower fans, both processes are happening together or in close proximity. That means the fans in these applications need to be able to take the heat, and in many cases, accompany corrosive gasses.

Check It Off. Avoid Downtime.

Wear and tear in your industrial fans and blowers is completely normal. In fact, it’s impossible to avoid, given all of the moving parts and the often abrasive or corrosive elements moving through them. But that does not need to lead to catastrophic downtime. We put together this 9-step preventative maintenance checklist for equipment to help you avoid fan failure and save you days, weeks, or more of downtime.

Updated Application Page, Lots of Examples

People sometimes think that if they already looked at a website, they’ve seen it all. No need to return, right? Not the case, at least not for us. We’re constantly updating, enhancing, and adding to it as we watch to see how people are navigating and hear the questions they’re asking us. One of the important things we did recently was to expand our application pages. This post highlights induced draft fan (ID fans) applications.

Showing Our Support for the Fuel and Ethanol Industry

We’re powering up to exhibit at the 38th annual International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo (FEW) the “largest, longest-running ethanol conference in the world—and the only event powered by Ethanol Producer Magazine,” from June 13-15 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Exhibiting Support for the Power Generation Industry

The power generation industry depends on industrial fans and blowers for their essential combustion, emissions, and pollution control processes. That means it’s time to head to PowerGen International®, the “largest network and business hub for electricity generators and solution providers engaged in power generation,” from May 23-25 in Dallas, Texas.

Attending the Cement Industry Conference Focused on Sustainable Strength through Innovation

Now that we’ve gotten a taste of in-person trade shows, we just can’t get enough! This time we’re headed to Las Vegas May 1-5 to engage with the cement industry at the 2022 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference.
