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 small but heavy-duty radial blower for a cyclone dust collection application. It included a direct-drive, arrangement 4V configuration with a backplate on the wheel to protect the motor from any particulate in the airstream. The fan was painted a custom green to match our OEM partner’s equipment line.
