Type HPS and HPO fans are our premium Industrial Pressure Blower line achieving the highest Static Pressures we offer. Shrouded impellers (HPS) are available in seven specific speed designs. Unshrouded impellers (HPO) are available in three specific speed designs.
The impellers are all welded high-strength steel construction with gauges and features to ensure structural integrity and long life throughout the operating class. Hubs are taper-lock or clearance straight bore depending on the application. All fans are factory balanced to ISO 1940/1 Grade G2.5 (1/10 in/sec max velocity).
The aerodynamic volute shaped housings are constructed of robust gauges, are substantially braced, and have a continuously solid welded exterior scroll to the side seams. Solid welding inside and outside is available upon request.
Standard construction is for clean to mildly dirty air up to 200°F maximum temperature. Special options, materials, and construction features are available for other demanding process conditions such as elevated temperatures (up to 700°F), corrosive airstreams, spark-resistance, and low leakage applications. Optional materials of construction include A588, A656, A514, various Stainless Steels, Inconel, Hastelloy, AL6XN, Monel, Titanium, Aluminum, FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) and more. Special abrasion resistant materials and design features to minimize wear are available for light to moderate material handling capabilities.

Portable Ventilator Units, Ventilating Fans
Our portable ventilators are designed for 24-hour unattended operation at both off-road and on-road locations. They are for the exhaust or supply of air to drain culverts, water system piping, sewers, construction sights, buildings, elevator shafts and any other applications where large volumes of air are required. The fan features a non-overloading brake horsepower curve so the engine can’t bog down regardless of operating configuration.
