As of January 2023, we are thrilled to announce another shipping lead time reduction on the heels of a record-breaking year of production and new orders in 2022 and the first lead time reduction, which took effect in May 2022.
Industrial fan operations and safety depend on the proper alignment of each component, from before the inlet to beyond the outlet. That often includes an inlet cone, which serves to help route the process air into the fan. If not properly aligned, it can get in the way of the fan wheel (and vice versa) and ultimately lead to fan failure, which is costly and time-consuming.
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.
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).
AirPro Booth #604 will be shined up and ready to welcome glass manufacturers at the 83rd Conference on Glass Problems (GPC), the premier U.S. event in the glass manufacturing industry, from October 31 to November 3, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio.
When touring an industrial fan manufacturing facility, you probably don’t imagine anyone remarking on the beauty of welded fan components. Here at AirPro, it happens all the time. Our welders are skilled craftsmen who see their work as a form of art.
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.
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.
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.
FD fans create positive air pressure and volume at the outlet to push air through the system. For reference, fans are either forced or induced draft. Induced draft fan (ID fan) applications focus pressure at the inlet. You can read more on ID fans here.
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.
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.
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.
