Announcing Lead Time Reduction
We’ve got great news. We’ve made big strides to reduce lead time by up to two weeks for smaller direct-drive fans and by up to a week for larger fans.

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.
Common Types of Fan Bearings Explained
No matter what kind of centrifugal fan you have, you can be sure that it has bearings in its connection to the motor. The bearings enable movement in this heavy-duty industrial machinery. There are two configurations and three common types of fan bearings, which we will outline below.
Attending the Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) and the Wood Bioenergy Conference & Expo (Bioenergy)
It’s so great to get back out there to engage directly with the industries we serve and support. After our recent productive showing at the International Biomass Conference & Expo, we’re ready for more. Now we’re headed to Atlanta to engage with the engineered wood products industry at two consecutive conferences: the Wood Bioenergy Conference & Expo (Bioenergy) March 29-30, and the Panel & Engineered Lumber International Conference & Expo (PELICE) March 31 – April 1, 2022. Both events are supported by Wood Bioenergy and Panel World magazines, and Georgia Research Institute.
Expanding Production Capacity to Meet Demand and Exceed Expectations
We’ve been fortunate to experience record demands over the past few years, and have grown right along with it at a dizzying pace. In 2021, we announced a plant expansion and dramatic workforce growth. Since then, we have succeeded in expanding production capacity at our existing facilities by 30 percent. It’s made a great difference in our ability to keep up with the needs of our customers even during continued material cost and supply chain challenges.
Attending the 15th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo
We never stopped serving the biomass industry – in fact, we’ve been busier than ever – but after the past couple of years with no opportunity to gather in person, we’re more than ready for the 15th annual International Biomass Conference & Expo, March 14-16 in Jacksonville, FL. Actually, the Nashville Biomass Conference in 2020 was one of the last events we attended before the pandemic shut everything down, so it’s extremely fitting that it’s our first conference back after all that time.
What Fan Shaft Seals Are, What They’re Made of, and Why You Might Need One
There are many industrial centrifugal fan and blower applications that require a shaft seal, including various pollution control, dryer, food and dairy, process cooling, and process heating applications.
Centrifugal Fan Functions for Industrial Dryer Applications
Industrial dryers like the rotary dryer and others remove moisture in the production process of various foods, chemicals, biofuels, and other products. The rotary dryer handles a wide range of materials with different sizes and levels of corrosion. It uses a large drum that rotates to dry the material with a direct combustion-heated gas stream.
Reliability and Customer Focus at the Foundation of Resilience
We’ve made no secret of the gravity with which we approach our customer commitments. From needs-based innovation to on-time delivery to our 3-year warranty, our processes and culture are built around a laser focus on serving customers reliably. We don’t always name our approach, but if we had to, we’d have to call it agile manufacturing.
Using Fan Law Equations to Size a Fan and Fan Motor
Change is inevitable. When you’re dealing with heavy-duty industrial machinery like fans, you don’t want to leave the impact of change to chance. Fortunately, there are physics that govern what happens to the fan curve when you change one component like speed. There are three fan law equations that can help you predict the effect of possible or likely change so that you can size your system to accommodate it.
Glacier Technology, Representing AirPro Fan & Blower Company in the Upper Midwest Since 2013
Our top manufacturer’s representative agencies like Glacier Technology are a huge part of how we consistently serve customers with reliable, high-quality centrifugal fans for their industrial process applications.
