Glass production fans are engineered to withstand the extreme heat and corrosive vapors generated during glass melting and forming. Installed at furnace outlets and annealing lehrs, they maintain proper draft and remove combustion gases.
Constructed from heat-resistant alloys and ceramic-coated components, these fans handle air temperatures up to 450 °C and deliver 10,000–200,000 CFM at static pressures to 8 kPa. Precision-balanced impellers minimize vibration and extend bearing life.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) enable temperature-responsive control, adjusting airflow based on furnace load and sensor feedback to optimize energy use and maintain consistent glass quality.
Maintenance features include split-casing for impeller access, external lubrication points, and remote condition monitoring. Glass production fans ensure safe, efficient, and reliable ventilation throughout the glass manufacturing process.
