The process
Fluid bed granulators and tablet coaters need conditioned, filtered inlet air at controlled temperature and an exhaust through a dust collector. The exhaust fan is selected against the filter and the product, in stainless steel with wash-down access.
The gas
Filtered, conditioned supply air through pre, fine and HEPA filters. The fan is selected against the filter pressure drop as it loads, at low noise.
Fans in this process
| Duty | What it does here | Type usually selected |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Air Fan | Circulates or supplies air at elevated temperature to a dryer, oven or kiln. | Backward curved and backward inclined |
| AHU | A packaged unit with fan, filters, cooling or heating coil and mixing box that conditions and delivers supply air. | Backward curved and forward curved |
| Dust Collector Fan | The fan behind a bag filter, cyclone or multiclone on a dust extraction system. | Backward inclined and radial tipped |
| Bag Filter Fan | Pulls the process gas through the filter bags and discharges the cleaned gas to the stack. | Backward curved and radial tipped |
| Fume Exhaust System | Hoods, ducting and an exhaust fan that capture fume at source and deliver it to a scrubber, bag filter or stack. | Backward inclined and radial tipped |
| HVAC | Supply, return and exhaust fans for heating, ventilation and air conditioning of plant and office space. | Axial, backward inclined and forward curved |
