Application: Dust Collection
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.
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.
We provided a backward curved dust collection fan for this food processing plant application. The selected model is among our most efficient, moving medium volumes of air at high static pressures with static efficiencies as high as 80 percent. In this induced draft application, we incorporated an inlet box with expansion joints on the fan inlet and outlet, and spring vibration isolators.
In this Kaolin Mining installation, we provided an induced draft fan for dust collection. Kaolin (hydrated aluminum silicate) is a high-value, high-volume industrial clay used largely in the production of paper, as well as ceramics, cement, fiberglass, and many other industrial production processes. Its naturally fine particles mean dust collection is critical in the mining process for air quality improvement and safety.
This straightforward scrap removal application called for a high-efficiency backward curved fan with a premium efficiency motor using an Arrangement 1 V-belt drive and a unitary base.
This dust collector application called for a highly-customized high-pressure blower. The specification included a custom housing and an impeller design for a range of static, dynamic, and thermal loads of operation.
The custom, induced draft fan we designed for a wood industry dust collector application uses a radial tipped blade profile with a custom base design. It includes an outlet damper for flow control, pie-split housing for easier maintenance access, and a 100HP V-drive motor. The heavy-duty fan resists particle build-up and delivers high efficiency in this high-volume application.
Fan Efficiency for Dust Collectors
Industrial fans have a special job to do when used in a dust collection application. They need to get the dust-laden air past the filters in the dust collector baghouse. The system pressure varies based on how “dirty” the filters are, and you can adjust the fan speed accordingly. Properly adjusting the speed can reduce your overall power consumption, but that depends on whether or not you place the pressure gauge in the right spot.
The following exhaust fan was installed on the dust collection system for a US producer of pelletized sulfate. Pelletized sulfate is a soil amendment used to improve soil properties in corn, soybean, and other crops.
The following industrial exhaust fan was designed for the dust collection system in a Pennsylvania Siding Pilot Plant. The plant’s dust collection system is currently connected to only one line. Two lines will be added at a later date.
