Standard industrial process fan models are ready-made. In the era where energy 
efficiency is a major concern, just how effectively does a standard fan fit the unique 
application of a manufacturing plant process? One size does not fit all!
For best performance and greatest efficiency, the industrial process fan must be 
custom-built based on the specific needs and application. It is easy enough to go into 
a clothing store and buy a new set of clothes. There are dozens of standard fit 
clothes to try. But for a truly great fit, that set of clothes requires to be customized 
and when it’s done right, the transformation can be sensational. The same 
philosophy applies to industrial process fans.
Industrial process fans have a number of standard ranges, from small to large, 
providing for various pressure and volume ratios, whatever is required for the 
industrial process fan application. Fans may be readily available but will they fulfill 
their purpose reliably and efficiently? A fan that’s too small won’t work at all in a 
certain application. The next standard size up may be more than big enough for 
working in a certain application but at what cost over the life of the fan.
The excess energy costs alone double or triple the lifetime costs of the industrial 
process fan. The right solution is a custom-built industrial process fan, they can be 
built for reliability, long life, right material, cost efficiency, and low power 
consumption according to the needs of the application. In addition, the modification 
of the fan can be done to meet specific application needs such as cyclical speed 
changes, abrupt temperature change, zero leakage construction, etc. Some of the 
examples of custom-built industrial process fans are portable fan units, double stage 
fans for very high pressure, filtration fan units for combustion, water-jacketed fan, 
and multi vapor compression fan
Certain types of environments require a certain fan, hence industrial process fans 
are custom built which is made to work as per the demand. The fan can be 
customized by choosing any of the various accessories and construction materials 
available. The custom-built fan will give you optimal value, performance, safety, and 
control. Various options of fans are available which include sizes, finishes, 
arrangements, frequencies, voltages, materials, accessories, motor types, and 
pricing. These options can be compared and a perfect fit is identified using different 
inputs like inlet air density, fan static pressure, volumetric flow rate, and intended 
fan duty.
Custom industrial process fans are those that are factory modified and applied for a 
specific application or function. For the best solution for attaining the desired 
outcome from the industrial process fan, all possible fan configurations are taken 
into account, in terms of mounting alternatives, fan performance, space restraint, 
material preferences, as well as inlet and outlet discharge range. To extend the life of 
the fan without compromising performance, alterations to the inlet, outlet, fan 
wheel, supports, housing, and other changes are typically instituted.
Standard fans are not always the best fans, there are many processes where 
operating conditions are not suitable for standard fans. Therefore, industrial process 
fans need to be custom-built to match the unique application and demands of the 
industry.
