Radial blade fans provide reliable air handling service in corrosive environments, and are typically used for transferring abrasive, dust laden gases at relatively high pressures. They are ruggedly constructed to withstand build-up on the blades which can occur when moisture in the atmosphere causes entrained dust to accumulate on the blades. Featuring the strongest structural design, these centrifugal fans are capable of achieving the highest pressures of the available industrial fan constructions. Easily maintainable with self cleaning characteristics, radial blade fans offer low initial capital cost but tend to rank lower in efficiency compared to other mechanical draft fan designs.
Contact Process Barron for more information about our radial blade fan design and fabrication services. Our engineers and service technicians can assess your operational requirements, and construct the proper mechanical draft fan for your application needs.
Radial Blade Fan Construction and Accessories
Process Barron can custom fabricate a new or replacement heavy duty radial blade fan from carbon steel, high yield steels or exotic alloys. Fan rotors are balanced to ANSI standards, and finite element analysis and other advanced testing processes ensure stable design and accurate fan performance.
Radial blade fans are used in forced draft and reduced draft service for variety of industrial applications including heat recovery, incineration and combustion air in chemical plants, power plants, foundries and refineries. Process Barron’s radial blade fans are available with inlet and outlet dampers, inlet boxes, access doors, and silencers often required in high-pressure applications.
