Cleaning Propellers
The propeller in an axial flow fan must be kept
reasonably clean if it is to perform properly. Fans
handling fresh air for ventilating purposes will sel-
dom need cleaning. Fans exhausting process air
should be cleaned as required. Dirt or chemical
deposits will usually build up on a propeller evenly
and they present no problem to performance or
operation until they become thick enough to break
away in crust-like pieces. When this happens, the
propeller may be thrown out of balance and the
resulting vibration could be serious. Accumula-tions
of deposits should be removed by solvent cleaning
or scraping. If the propeller has been coated, be
careful not to cut through the protective covering.
Care and Maintenance
Regular and systematic inspection of all fan
parts is a necessity for good fan maintenance.
A general installation and maintenance bro-
chure (IM 100) has been supplied with this
shipment. It includes fan and motor bear-
ing lubrication, care and replacement of V-belt
drives and taperlock bushing instructions.
CAUTION: Recommended distance between fan blade and
shutter is approximately equal to
1
⁄
3
of the fan’s diameter.
