Order entry, purchasing, and fabrication status is efficiently accomplished with our custom Fan Equipment software.

Each engineer operates a workstation utilizing in house, internet based, and custom engineering programs to fulfill the technical requirements of each project.  Detailed dimension drawings, performance curves, sound evaluations, bearing load analysis, shaft critical speeds, finite element analysis, and rotor/motor WR^2 calculations are prepared for orders as required.

Manufacturing begins with CAD based files generated to plasma cut sub-assembly parts.  Nesting programs are used to maximize materials for multiple item orders, increasing overall efficiency, and minimizing scrap costs.

Finished rotors are statically & dynamically balanced on one of three stationary balancing machines.  Fans furnished as complete units, with drive motors not exceeding 500 HP, and 460/575-volt power requirements, are mechanically run tested to meet less than 0.1m/sec. (ANSI G2.5) with the customer’s drive motor on our 40,000 lb. concrete test base and given a final balance check with a portable vibration analyzer and balancer. A printed spectrum of frequency vs. unbalance level is taken for each order, and available for customer review upon request. A wide range of operating speeds is obtained by governing the motor with our Allen Bradley/Stromberg variable frequency motor controller.

All Fan Equipment Co. products are rated and tested in accordance with AMCA guidelines. Our engineering personnel regularly test new designs and confirm performance characteristics of existing geometries at our facility with duct configurations in accordance with AMCA standards and guidelines. As a member of AMCA, we also confirm empirical test data with contract tests at the AMCA laboratory in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Calibrated instrumentation is also in place to perform mechanical run tests of complete units. Fan assemblies can be operated at full speed, for several hours, while bearing temperature, residual unbalance levels, and overall mechanical behavior is monitored and recorded.

Fan Equipment Co. personnel are qualified to perform visual examinations of weldments and an outside third party can provide dye penetrant examinations of weldments. When customer specifications call for other services, we can also employ third party vendors to supply sophisticated machining, post weld heat treating & stress relieving, NDE & metallurgical examinations, and accessory items to satisfy the most stringent of requirements.

Based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, Fan Equipment Co. can offer the advantages of access to extensive transportation corridors.  Incoming and outgoing goods are routed by major carriers on air, land, and sea.  We are serviced by several international airports, The Port of Los Angeles for ocean freight, rail connections, and our extensive highway system.  In addition, our climate eliminates the excuse of bad weather for poor performance.

Fan Equipment Co. supports sales representatives throughout the U.S. and Canada.  Requests for field start-up, ongoing maintenance, or warranty service of our equipment is achieved by dispatching the appropriate sub-contracted specialized technicians from one of several independent service organizations in your region.
