Replacement

Our work at AirPro is not always about designing new fans; we often build replacement parts for all fan brands and send field service support teams to oversee installation and ensure the fans are ready for operation. We recently helped a minerals facility when their fan was damaged during operation. Our application engineers recommended replacement of the fan wheel and inlet cone and then our manufacturing team expedited production to provide the fastest delivery possible.

This particular fan was the second of two custom retrofit fans for a pharmaceutical plant. Originally manufactured by a company that is now out of business these fans failed seven years apart. Our application engineers took measurements of the existing fans on-site to design, build, and slip upgraded duplicates into place.

This wood product manufacturing application required a belt-driven backward-curved replacement fan matching the dimensions of the existing fan for drop-in-place. The specification called for sandblast preparation with epoxy coating, Teflon coating to give the impeller a non-stick surface, an inlet box, and inlet/outlet expansion joints.
