Industrial Exhaust Fan
This fan includes a stainless-steel airstream and other custom options for a food grade material-handling application.
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 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 custom-designed this industrial exhaust air handling fan for crop spraying equipment, with a custom arrangement, custom color, and a diesel engine driver. Braced for extra support, the streamlined heavy-duty design features an angled partial backward inclined blade for increased efficiency and reduced material buildup.
This cyclone exhaust fan application for industrial air handling required a straightforward industrial air handling exhaust fan with an opposed blade for increased efficiency and reduced material build-up. An outlet damper paired with the 25HP Arrangement 9 belt-driven motor mounted to the side of the fan allows for variable flow control.
In this Material Handling installation, we expedited the development and delivery of two fans for emergency production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), specifically medical masks, to help meet increased demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
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:
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.
For this petrochemical plant application, we custom designed and delivered a backward curved exhaust fan, including a 304 Stainless Steel airstream, 3-inch sound insulation, spring vibration isolators, inlet and outlet flex connectors, and a unitary base.
We designed this heavy-duty pollution exhaust fan complete with OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) guards to provide the required level of safety and protect workers from accidental contact with the fan blades. The custom design uses a 20HP motor with a V-belt drive. A ceramic felt shaft seal and flanged inlet and outlet prevent gas leaks in the system. A bolted access door allows for easier maintenance.
This installation is an example of a purge air system utilizing an AMCA Type “A” Spark Resistant Exhaust Blower. Designed for the OEM as part of the larger purge system to help prevent contamination of electrical surfaces from overheating, corrosive gasses, and dirt by moving clean air through the system. This high-pressure arrangement-1 blower features an aluminum fan wheel and housing for spark resistance.
One of the most important post-purchase questions is how to properly install and maintain an industrial exhaust fan in order to avoid problems. AirPro is an industrial blower manufacturer that considers installation and maintenance even before building your blower fan and takes into consideration the most common causes for operation problems with any industrial blower fan.
