Types of Industrial Fans
Maintenance Partners provides services on various types of fans, for example:
- Centrifugal
- Axial
- Fan units (fan + motor)
- Directly driven
- Indirectly driven (chain or belt)
Fan Services
Our services range from standard inspections and repairs to complete overhauls. A repair or overhaul of a fan generally consists of an Inspection, Repair/Modification and a final Report.
Inspection
The first step when repairing a fan is the inspection. Fan inspections include:
- Visual inspection
- Alignment check
- Checks of belts and couplings
- Measurement of axial clearances
- Disassembly + visual inspection of parts
- Dimensional measurements
When the inspection is finished, an inspection report is drawn up with recommendations for repair.
Execution of works
After approval of the recommendations for repair, the execution of the repair / overhaul works begins. The scope of work may vary, but can include:
- Cleaning & steaming
- Sandblasting
- Preparation of technical drawings for machining by in-house engineering team
- Machining of parts (bearing housings, rotors, …)
- Balancing of rotating parts
- Coating of rotating parts
- Assembly
- Coating of exterior
- Alignment (in case of motor-fan combination)
Final report
The final report is written after testing and includes measurements from before and after the repair. If possible, recommendations for operating, inspecting and maintenance are also included, resulting in more reliable operations and less unforeseen breakdowns.
