Backward Inclined Fans

The backward inclined fan, which is also referred to as a backward inclined blower, is highly efficient due to its simple, flat, backward inclined blades that minimize interference with airflow as air moves through the fan. It also offers lower sound levels and energy costs than many other fan types and includes a non-overloading horsepower design for low-pressure applications.

Applications

• Dust Collection: In dust collection applications, backward inclined fans typically provide induced draft air, sucking dust-laden air through a dust collector/baghouse.
• Air Pollution Control: Backward inclined blowers are key components to a wide range of air pollution control equipment.

Performance & Design

• Volume: up to 500,000 cfm
• Pressure: up to 25”wg
• Temperature: up to 1800°F
• Static Efficiency: up to 78%
• Drive: Belt & Direct

High Temperature Fans

Many industrial processes rely on high-temperature process heat, necessitating specially designed centrifugal fans for operations like heat treating and industrial furnaces. Fans not built for high temperatures can fail catastrophically. To prevent failures and costly damages, it is crucial to understand fan limitations, operate within design limits, and follow a preventive maintenance plan.

Fan Options for High Temp Applications

• Forward Curved Fan: Generally designed to move high volumes of air at low static pressures, this high temperature fan can use several wheel designs and integrate with various materials that are appropriate for the specific operating temperature.
• Paddle Wheel: The radial Paddle Wheel Fan moves not only air but also material at medium-to-high static pressures. This heavy-duty centrifugal fan is able to move heavy, sticky, and abrasive materials through the airstream without compromising the integrity of the wheel.
• Backward Inclined Fan: The backward inclined fan minimizes interference with the airflow. It offers lower sound levels and energy costs and includes a non-overloading horsepower design for low-pressure applications.

Material Handling Fans

Centrifugal Radial Fans are a staple in industrial material handling applications. When customized with the appropriate specifications, they can handle all types of material matter – from small, light particles to larger, heavier materials. Whether for safety, comfort, operating efficiency, or ongoing maintenance, these fans have an important role to play in numerous industrial applications.

Applications

• Abrasive Airstream: The already robust construction combined with abrasive resistant materials make these fans essential to systems moving abrasive materials.
• Odor Control: Radial fans are used with other air pollution control equipment to remove odors. These fans are customized for different industries such as wastewater & sewage treatment, paper mills, and recycling plants.

Performance & Design

• Volume: up to 150,000 cfm
• Pressure: up to 60”wg
• Temperature: up to 1000°F
• Static Efficiency: up to 66%
• Drive: Belt & Direct

Radial Tip Fans

The Radial Tipped Fan delivers high static efficiency, which is defined as the ratio of fan static pressure to fan total pressure, multiplied by the fan total efficiency. This fan does this all while resisting material buildup on the wheel/impeller. A radial tipped blade design keeps dust and other particulates moving through the wheel to exit the fan. Additionally, radial tipped fans offer induced draft air for both clean and dirty air applications.

Applications

• Corrosive Gases: Radial tipped fans remove fume exhaust for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and many other industries.
• Scrubbers: Wet and dry scrubbers clean air and other gases, removing pollutants and particulate. RTHS fans and blowers play a key role in this process.

Performance & Design

• Volume: up to 250,000 cfm
• Pressure: up to 36”wg
• Temperature: up to 1000°F
• Static Efficiency: up to 78%
• Drive: Belt & Direct

High Pressure Blowers

High Pressure Blowers, which are also referred to as forced draft high-pressure fans, are the go-to design for continuous duty industrial applications with high static pressure and low airflow. They can move clean air, light particulate, or vapor, and can be customized to handle abrasive, sticky, and hot airstreams.

Applications

• Combustion Air: High-pressure fans move air to combust/burn fuels for different applications, including boilers, furnaces, and ovens.
• Pneumatic Conveying: Fans are used to convey anything from cereal to wood chips. Our high-pressure blowers play a role in this process.
• Selective Catalytic Reduction: Some of our high-pressure models are used for SCR and often include custom features.

Performance & Design

• Volume: up to 150,000 cfm
• Pressure: up to 140”wg
• Temperature: up to 1200°F
• Static Efficiency: up to 78%
• Drive: Belt & Direct
