Glass industry fans are engineered for furnace exhaust, forming machine ventilation, and annealing lehr exhaust. Impellers and casings use high-temperature alloys and corrosion-resistant coatings to withstand molten glass vapors.
These fans deliver 10,000–150,000 CFM at temperatures up to 450 °C and pressures to 8 kPa, ensuring effective removal of heat and off-gases.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) provide temperature-responsive control, adjusting speed based on infrared or gas sensor feedback to optimize energy recovery and maintain glass quality.
Maintenance features include split-casing for impeller replacement, external cooling circuits for bearings, and condition monitoring of motor temperature. Glass industry fans support safe, efficient production in glass manufacturing plants.
