Fans for Tough Mine Applications

JetAir, which specializes in building and refurbishing axial vane fans from 18- to 84-in. diameter and up to 500 hp, says all of its fan blades are now forged instead of cast, thus making them much stronger to the point of virtual indestructibility, according to the company. The Farmington, New Mexico-based company also announced that it has developed a line of Super-Silenced fans that run quieter and take up less space than other integrated fans and silencers. Jetair fan housings are constructed of 1/4-in. steel plate, with 3/8-in.-thick steel flanges. Blades and hubs are fabricated from T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum, and each blade is fitted with a 7/8-in. steel stud for greater strength. All fans are equipped with spun aluminum nose cones that will withstand harsh treatment, and all fans are both static and dynamically balanced before shipment. Heavy-duty silencers, inlet bells, discharge cones and screens can be built to specific requirements.
