Centrifugal fans can be considered the heart of many industrial processing 
industries. Industrial centrifugal fans can be customized for excellence in the 
performance of the fan.
The industrial centrifugal fans are custom built based on specific needs of the 
industry and designed keeping in mind cost, reliability, efficiency, and process 
parameters. The designs of custom fans emerged after intensive theoretical 
calculations, simulation using various software packages, and rigorous testing for 
performance.
The fast-growing power, chemical, steel, cement industries and technology that has 
brought about plant sizes that are much larger than what they used to behave made 
it to develop custom-built industrial fans that are powerful and can withstand high 
temperatures and extreme wear. The performance tests are carried out on the 
custom fans to maintain measurement errors as low as possible. Some of the 
applications of custom-built industrial centrifugal fans are boilers, chemical, and 
cement plants, paper manufacturing plants, iron & steel plants, ore processing 
plants, incineration plants, ventilation of industries, and ventilation of commercial 
complexes and tunnels.
Customizing industrial centrifugal fans will give you the benefit to enjoy the flexibility 
of choosing any combination of the numerous accessories based on the required 
levels of efficiency, reliability, convenience, cost, and sophistication. Some of the 
various options of accessories are grid coupling, pin & bush type flexible coupling, 
square dampers for flow control, circular dampers for flow control, inlet guide vanes 
for flow control, silencers placed at the blower inlet, mechanical actuators for 
dampers, pneumatic actuators for dampers, etc. Grid couplings are more resilient 
and reliable, they are generally used for heavy-duty applications where reliability is 
important although they may not be economically the best option.
Dampers can also be custom-built based on flow and pressure conditions. Inlet 
guide vanes tend to offer higher efficiency compared to square and circular 
dampers, they are used for applications in which clean air is circulated. Dampers can 
be placed in the ducting of the fan for the control of flow. Silencers are used for 
eliminating noise to ensure that the noise levels in the shop floor are well within the 
accepted limits, they are generally open to the atmosphere. Actuators are used for 
opening or closing of dampers, if the compressed air supply is readily available the 
pneumatic actuators are more cost-effective than mechanical actuators.
Bearings are one of the most critical parts of an industrial centrifugal fan, they can 
cause mechanical problems if the proper selection is not made. There are some 
options in bearings to choose from for using them in custom-built fans. Self-aligning 
bearings or spherical roller bearings can tolerate misalignment and are reliable and 
cheap compared to other options. When thrust load, temperature, and dynamic 
forces are high, a combination of deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller 
bearings in a tabular housing can be used. Also, you can choose from different 
options of instrumentation for fans.
Instead of spending time searching for industrial centrifugal fans that are a perfect 
fit, you can customize the fan to suit specific needs. The custom-built fan can come 
up with many benefits like budget flexibility, energy saving, a variety of options, 
maximize functionality, high reliability, quality of parts, right materials and increase 
in overall performance and efficiency of fans.
