Exhaust Blowers

FAQs About Exhaust Blowers

What is an exhaust blower?

Industrial exhaust blowers, also called exhaust fans, move waste air and powders from an industrial process outside of the area. They can provide air circulation for personnel, exhaust, or material handling needs, as well as spot cooling in buildings where air conditioning is too costly or infeasible for other reasons.

Blowers are also used to exhaust foul air from a plant or other industrial building and replace it with fresh, outside air. They’re frequently used for high volume, high static pressure applications.

What types of exhaust blowers are there?

There are a number of different industrial fan and blower types, including the following:

Axial fans
a fan blade circulates parallel to the air flow
Centrifugal fans
the fan blade rotates perpendicular to the air flow
Positive displacement (rotary lobe) fans
multiple co-rotating, serpentine shafts mesh and move air and gases in a controlled manner, preventing backflow
Crossflow fans
these draw air from the full radial inlet site of a rotating vane and expel it on the opposite side through a smaller orifice

When should I replace my exhaust fan?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, your industrial exhaust fan can last for decades. Of course, a high-quality fan will last longer than one of lesser quality, and how long any blower lasts depends on its environment and maintenance. Make sure to protect your investment by hiring Safe Air Technology for all your blower installation and maintenance needs.

What is a CFM?

CFM is an abbreviation for cubic feet per minute, a measure of how much air is exchanged in one unit of time. The higher the CMF, the more powerful the exhaust blower is.

At Safe Air Technology, we manufacture explosion proof exhaust blowers that range in capacity from 100 to 10,000 CFM, and that can be mounted to your building’s roof or walls, so we have a variety of options whatever your needs.

How do I determine the size of exhaust blower I need?

Your exhaust blower’s required size will depend on a number of factors, including the size and shape of your building, the kinds of processes and number of personnel it houses, as well as the materials of its construction. The experts at Safe Air Technology offer both standard explosion proof exhaust blowers, as well as fully custom systems, that are certified for hazardous duty operation in industrial and offshore applications.
