Blowers & Industrial Fans
Industrial fans and blowers are valuable tools for moving air and materials required in a wide variety of manufacturing processes and industries.
Ranging in size from just a couple of feet to 12 feet in diameter, fans are categorized into one of four types; centrifugal, axial, high temperature, or mixed flow. They are used for a myriad of applications, including to supply combustion air for burners, to move dirty air streams, remove particulates from exhaust streams, ventilate mine shafts, blow coal dust into power plant furnaces, recirculte process gases, or induce drafts in kilns used to manufacture cement and other materials.
Fan types and their subcategories are industry standard, recognized by all major fan producers:
Centrifugal Fans Are versatile air-moving workhorses (with many blade shapes available)
Axial Fans Are high-volume fans designed to operate against low flow resistance.
High-Temperature Fans Run at extreme temperatures ranging from 300 Degree Fahrenheit to as high as One thousand and eight hundred Degree Fahrenheit.
Gas-Tight High-Pressure Are mixed flow combination Fans and Blowers.
Airfoil - Used for a wide range of applications in many industries, hollow-bladed airfoil fans are designed, ungineered and tested for use in airstreams where high efficiency and quiet operation are required. They are used extensicely for continuous
