We always stay on the safe side, and we want our customers to do that too. So we created a video and the content below specifically to cover safety precautions during maintenance work on industrial fans.
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.
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times. Lack of bearing lubrication is one of the most common causes of failure in an industrial fan. There’s only one way to avoid that type of failure, and that’s proper, regular management of fan bearing grease. But we don’t always go into much detail about how to do that.
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.
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.
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.
When you’re running industrial process operations, you don’t have time for downtime, and it can be very costly on top of that. But if something goes wrong and you don’t have spare industrial fan parts on your shelf, it can take weeks and even months to replace them, particularly if your fan is custom and especially in the current supply chain environment.
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.
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.
