With a focus on robust construction, we built a process fan on a combustion blower for an industrial heater application. This installation called for a backward curved blower with a direct-drive motor and an outlet damper with an electric actuator and positioner. We designed it with fewer parts to reduce maintenance in the industrial environment.
Case Studies
Radial Tipped Return Air Fan for Dust Collection
We built this radial-tipped dust fan for an air return application in a dust collection system. The fan has a 125 HP motor with roller bearings and a V-belt drive with the fan and motor mounted on a unitary base. We included a custom color coating to match the rest of our customer’s system.
In this air pollution control installation example, we designed and delivered a heavy-duty fan for an OEM who designs and manufactures thermal oxidizers. This backward-curved induced draft fan is an arrangement 8 direct-coupled drive with a flexible coupling.
In this asphalt plant installation example, we designed and delivered the industrial fan for an asphalt plant equipment OEM. The induced draft backward-curved arrangement 9 fan included a dual drive with two 150 horsepower motors, delivering 300 horsepower combined.
We designed these custom replacement swing-out fans for paint booth systems in an automotive plant. The swing-out fans provide easy access to clean and replace fan parts. Our design helped the plant overcome supply chain problems in sourcing fans and fan parts. The fans have backward inclined blades and include an outlet damper.
This direct-fired burner fan was designed to move over 150,000 cfm of clean air for a biomass energy application. Featuring our backward-inclined design, the fan wheel is 89 inches in diameter and operates with nearly 80% static efficiency.
This biomass pyrolysis installation required a fan that can handle abrasive material, gasses, and high-temperatures. We designed a custom radial fan, also known as a paddlewheel fan with an open radial blade design. It featured double-walled housing with thermal insulation and alloy airstream materials to handle high temperatures up to 1500°F. We also built it with a continuously-welded housing interior and a bubble (air-leak) pressure test.
We replaced an industrial exhaust fan originally built by another manufacturer in this brine vapor retrofit installation. The fan is an open radial blade paddlewheel design with a backplate to protect the motor from the material in the air stream. We used AL-6XN® construction material for corrosion resistance and a stuffing box shaft seal to prevent vapor leakage.
We designed this calciner supply fan for a high-temp rotary kiln application. Featuring a radial tipped fan with a v-belt drive and a unitary base, it withstands temperatures up to 475°F. This heavy-duty, radial tip fan moves high volumes of air at low static pressures with high efficiencies.
In this Calciner Tempering installation, we retrofitted backward-curved blowers to replace our customer’s existing fans for increased efficiency and longer fan life. Using 300 HP customer-supplied motors, we incorporated a flexible coupling drive, unitary base, and pie-split housing for easier maintenance access to the fan wheel and shaft.
For this carbon recycling plant system application, we designed and delivered a drop-in high-pressure blower to replace a competitor’s product. It features a Kynar coated wheel with a stainless steel shaft, rubber-lined housing, custom exterior coating color, a shrouded wheel design, increased wheel width, and an outlet damper to throttle the air as it leaves the fan.
We designed this CE-Certified High-Pressure Blower for custom static and thermal loads of operation. Featuring a monobloc bearing design with vibration isolation pads, this custom blower meets European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
We recently provided a cooling fan for a cheese plant with food-grade construction to comply with food safety standards.
This coffee roasting plant application called for a dust collection fan. The custom design incorporated backward-curved blades, an inlet box, and a belt drive with a unitary base.
