TodaToday, we spotlight a uniquely engineered swingout BIHS fan, custom-designed by our engineering team for an automotive plant in the Midwest. This fan features a quick-release access door positioned at 9 o’clock on the fan housing, with a flush interior surface that allows easy wheel access. Constructed with stainless steel AMCA C spark-resistant materials free of any silicone, grease-lubricated bearings, and precision laser cutting, it delivers exceptional efficiency and power without sacrificing durability and reliability. We also equipped this fan with a Formsprag backstop clutch to keep the wheel from rotating when not in operation.
Custom
At AirPro, we take pride in designing and manufacturing custom fans tailored to our customers’ specific needs. The fan pictured in the video is still in production: but this gives us an opportunity to highlight some of the specialized features we integrate into our custom fan designs. AirPro designed this particular fan for an API 673 application.
Manufacturing plants often need to retrofit or replace existing fans to keep operations running and increase output. Our team excels at analyzing current fan installations, recommending the best course of action to take, and building the most appropriate fans for the application. That may involve building fans to exactly match existing fan dimensions and performance or modifying fan designs to increase performance.
We custom-designed this high-pressure radial induced draft fan for a scrubber application, with alloy 2205 airstream construction, custom purge air shaft seals, pie-split housing, and an integral inlet box. Configured as a center-hung Arrangement 7 fan, a flexible coupling is used to connect the fan shaft to the motor shaft, and the entire fan assembly is mounted on a unitary base. The application required a severe duty motor rated for use with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
Custom Fan Colors for Exterior Paint
Custom fan colors allow your centrifugal fan to stand out or blend in with the surrounding industrial application from an external aesthetic perspective.
AirPro recently built two custom blowers for a Fluid Bed Dryer installed at a US thermoplastics / petrochemical production facility. The exhaust blowers were fully customized to match the ordering OEM’s specifications including custom overhung shaft, custom split housing & inbox, and galvanized unitary base.
