Industrial Blowers
Industrial blowers are systems that provide air and gas movement in ventilation, circulation and drying applications. They are used in industrial, manufacturing, commercial and retail settings to ventilate, circulate, cool and dry certain products and indoor air. The agricultural, photography, automotive, food processing, packaging, paper, printing, welding and textile industries all use industrial blowers for a wide variety of applications. Some of these include cooling factory workspaces, reducing moisture in bathrooms, spas and gyms, cutting down on smoke and odors in cooking and food processing, and helping rid gaseous fumes in chemical and oil manufacturing facilities. They may be large and permanent fans or small, portable for at-home, office or construction site use and come in many different speeds and power limits.
There are 2 main types of industrial blower design-radial or axial, and 3 different variations, each with their own applications. High velocity fans concentrate air flow to a specific area and are used for product drying. Exhaust fans replace air contaminated with smoke or chemicals with cleaner air from other areas. These are used in chemical plants and restaurants. Centrifugal blowers use impellers that move gas or air in ventilation and circulation systems. Some are mounted within ducts, while others are movable, free standing and found on factory floors.
