Industrial Fans & Blowers Services FAQs

 

Q. What’s the difference between a fan and a blower?

A. Fans typically move large volumes of air at low pressure, while blowers produce a more concentrated, higher-pressure airflow. The choice depends on your system’s airflow and pressure requirements.

Q. How often should industrial fans and blowers be serviced?

A. Routine maintenance should be performed quarterly, but frequency can vary based on operating conditions. High-dust, high-moisture, or 24/7 environments may require more frequent inspections and service.

Q. What are common signs a fan or blower needs repair?

A. Watch for excessive vibration, abnormal noises, overheating, reduced airflow, or visible wear and tear. These may indicate issues with bearings, balance, or motor alignment.

Q. Can fans and blowers be rebuilt instead of replaced?

A. Yes. Many industrial units can be rebuilt or retrofitted to extend their service life, improve efficiency, and reduce downtime—often at a lower cost than full replacement.

Q. What factors affect fan and blower performance?

A. Key factors include impeller design, balance, motor condition, alignment, environmental conditions (dust, moisture), and maintenance frequency. Performance drops if any of these are compromised.

Q. Do you offer emergency repair services or field service for fans and blowers?

A. Yes. Troy Industrial Solutions offers both emergency and scheduled field service to inspect, repair, or replace industrial fans and blowers on-site—minimizing your downtime.
