This biomass pyrolysis installation required a fan that can handle abrasive material, gasses, and high-temperatures. We designed a custom radial fan, also known as a paddlewheel fan with an open radial blade design. It featured double-walled housing with thermal insulation and alloy airstream materials to handle high temperatures up to 1500°F. We also built it with a continuously-welded housing interior and a bubble (air-leak) pressure test.
We designed this paddlewheel exhaust fan for a food-grade cyclone application. Basic features included a slip-fit inlet, outlet transition to a round slip fit, spring vibration isolators, and an Arrangement 1 belt drive with a unitary base. Making this fan food-grade required a full complement of custom components, finishes. and materials of construction, including:
