Fans and vibration don’t get along very well! High vibration levels can shorten fan life and even cause catastrophic failure. Fan installation setup is a key factor to protect the fan from excessive vibration. Your fan should be installed on a foundation or structure designed to either handle the vibration itself or use vibration isolation devices.
How often are you ready to install an industrial component like a centrifugal fan the moment it arrives at your facility? Unless it’s an emergency replacement, the answer is probably “not that often.” That means you need to think about proper fan storage to ensure your fan is ready for operation when you are ready to install it, whether that is a week or months after it arrives.
Well, when you are an owner of the company, growth is both. In an employee-owned company, that means that each employee has the potential to influence personal and company growth at the same time, leading to greater investment and greater ROI. It’s a powerful virtuous cycle.
Asphalt is one of those things we use nearly every day and rarely think about unless it’s in repair or needs to be. But where would we be without it? And behind the scenes, the Asphalt Plants and Industrial Fans pave the way to building our roads and highways.
We all know a great company culture when we feel it. There are plenty of ways a culture can be great, and most of them don’t happen by accident. Why does it matter? It feels like the right thing to do, but it’s not just a “feel good” thing; a great culture is a powerful driver of ROI in the form of everything from employee satisfaction and retention to productivity and customer loyalty.
Centrifugal Fan Discharge describes how to position the fan outlet (what direction it should point). This is a basic and important determination for your industrial fan application, assuming you want the air that is pulled into the fan to have somewhere to go when it leaves. Specifying the correct fan discharge helps to ensure smooth fan installation and system setup.
Why Top Performers Need the Challenge of Healthy Competition?
In sports, we often hear the phrase “to be the best, you have to beat the best.” It applies equally in our work environment. Our customers challenge us to be top performers, and we challenge each other to meet or beat their expectations – every single day.
AirPro Fan & Blower, a manufacturer of industrial-duty fans and blowers, announced on September 13, 2016 that it has transferred 100% ownership of the company to its employees via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
Waiting on fan manufacturers to get quotes back to you can be stressful. Frequently, you do not have the time — days or even hours — to wait for a quote. Fan buyers have another option though: Most industrial fan/blower companies offer fan selection software, available via the Internet on company websites, or offered as a program to be installed on your computer. No matter the source though, it is important to do two things before using the selection software to find the appropriate fan for your application.
