A Guide to Industrial Fans and Their Main Uses

Industrial fans are used across many industries such as manufacturing, mining, food processing, cryogenics and metal manufacturing. Their function is to provide a large flow of air or gas which aids in many processes.

Industrial fans have a number of rotating blades which are connected to hub and shaft and driven by either a motor or turbine. The flow rates of fans can vary so it is always worth double checking what rate you need for the job.

We are taking a look at the range of fans we have available at ESE Direct, so you should find one to suit your needs.
