We recently provided a cooling fan for a cheese plant with food-grade construction to comply with food safety standards.
Application: Cooling
We designed a custom Backward Curved Cooling Conveying Fan for this Dairy application. This fan has continuously-welded 304 Stainless Steel airstream parts with SSPC-SP10 bead blast surface preparation, a food-grade Teflon shaft seal, and stainless BFM fittings. That makes it corrosion- and bacteria-resistant, lower-maintenance, and high-temp friendly.
Designed for cooling during glass tempering operations, this Arrangement 3 backward inclined cooling fan has bearings on either side of the wheel with a unitary base and a double-width housing for higher airflow capacity. This application includes spring vibration isolators and screens on both fan inlets.
Updated Application Page on Process Cooling Fans
If you have a processing plant of any kind, you most likely have an industrial cooling process among your centrifugal fan applications. That’s because manufacturing operations often use heat as a necessary element of part of the process, but heat can also be dangerous to other elements. Even when process heating is not in play, there is natural friction from moving parts that can create excess heat.
