Fan/Heater Application
3500RPM Vane Axial fans are normally high performance low static pressure
fans. They are normally used for inbin drying or aeration on shorter tanks or when
low resistance grains (corn, soybeans are processed. The application should be
looked at very closely when aerating unusually tall tanks or high resistance grains
(wheat, milo).
FAN APPLICATION GUIDE
Vane Axial Fans
Inline Centrifugal Fans
3500RPM Inline Centrifugal fans are normally medium performance medium
static pressure fans. They are normally used for aeration on taller tanks or when
high resistance grains (wheat, milo) are processed. Inlines may also be used in
drying applications however care should be taken to use correct adapters when
using gas heaters with these fans. These fans are often mis-applied and sold as a
quiet drying fan when a vane axial fan of equal horsepower will most likely out
perform it. The application should be looked at very closely when aerating unusu-
ally tall tanks or high airflow resistance grains (wheat, milo).
