AirPro built this hefty backward inclined, high volume, single width fan for a track kiln that dries pressure treated poles by delivering heated air from a burner to the kiln. It then recirculates a portion of hot air in the kiln to maintain a set temperature.
Industrial dryers are used in a variety of manufacturing processes, and dryers depend on fans to supply and exhaust air to complete the drying processes. The drying systems will not function without fans. We understand that, and so we ensure that our fans are built for maximum reliability and ease of maintenance.
AirPro built the following fan for a Wisconsin company that dries potatoes for use in animal feed. The exhaust fan is installed at the end of the drying process. A gradual build-up of particulate on the wheel resulted in excessive fan vibration levels. AirPro field service technicians were hired to balance the fan, restoring it to smooth operation.
