AIB Belt Drive Tubeaxial Fan
Description
The AIB fan offers the perfect solution when a specification requires a Belt Drive Tubeaxial Fan. This aerodynamically efficient fan is available in diameters from 12″ through 60″, with belt drive capacities ranging to 54,000 cfm. The rugged housing of the AIB fan is constructed of heavy-duty welded steel and angle ring flanges. The AIB fan features a spark resistant, cast aluminum airfoil axial impeller. In addition to an AIB fan, an extensive line of options and accessories is available to compliment it.
AIB belt drive tubeaxial fans are ideal for industrial ventilation applications. For example, process ventilation, general ventilation, moisture-laden air, and contaminated air streams are a few of the applications suitable for AIB fans. A laboratory with moist, corrosive, hot air is one of the most challenging fan application. However, Continental Fan’s customized all-stainless steel AIB tubeaxial fan is the perfect ventilation solution for the challenge of a laboratory.
