High Pressure Centrifugal Blowers & Fans
Industrial High Pressure Blower Overview
AirPro’s high pressure centrifugal blowers, also known as forced draft high pressure fans, are built for continuous-duty industrial applications requiring high static pressure and lower airflow. They are commonly used to move clean air, light particulate, and vapors, and can be customized for abrasive, sticky, or high-temperature airstreams.
Most high pressure blower wheels use straight radial blades positioned at a 90-degree angle to the hub. This design helps reduce debris buildup as air or particulate moves through the fan. For applications requiring improved efficiency, alternative blade shapes may also be considered.
AirPro’s high pressure blower line uses a two-number naming convention that differs from other product lines. Each model name indicates the ANSI standard pipe flange sizes for the inlet and outlet, making it easier to select a blower that aligns with your ducting and system requirements.

AirPro designs and builds both standard and custom industrial fans with an unsurpassed level of quality and service. All of our products are also backed by our industry-leading 3-year warranty.
High Pressure Blower & Fan Types
Each model’s wheel type is identified by a trailing letter in the product name. Airpro offers both open and shrouded wheel options, giving you flexibility to meet a range of performance and application requirements.
Shrouded-Wheel High Pressure Blowers
P##A
Shrouded Radial Aluminum Wheel
Designed with a shrouded, radial, riveted aluminum wheel. Engineered for low air volumes at high static pressures, this product offers another solution for high-pressure requirements. Its lower cost of construction due to the riveted wheel and its higher efficiency make it a good offering for a wide range of applications.
P##C
Shrouded Radial Aluminum Wheel
Designed with a shrouded, radial, riveted aluminum wheel. Narrower than its A blower counterpart, the C blower hits lower volumes at even higher static pressures. Similar to the A, its lower cost of construction and higher performing shrouded design yield appealing performance metrics at attractive price points.
P##G
Backward Curved Shrouded Steel Wheel
Designed with a shrouded and curved steel wheel. Engineered for peak performance, this product is capable of the highest efficiencies out of the radial designs. This product performs nicely when higher performance is required for an application and clean gas is expected.
XP1S
Narrow Extra Low Flow, Shrouded Wheel
Narrow pressure blower for clean, lightly contaminated, and dust-laden airstreams. Built for extra low flow and high static pressure applications, it offers temperatures up to 1,200°F, and static efficiency up to 47%.
XP2S
Wide Extra Low Flow, Shrouded Wheel
Wide pressure blower for clean, lightly contaminated, and dust-laden airstreams. Built for extra low flow and high static pressure applications, it offers temperatures up to 1,200°F, and static efficiency up to 62%.
Open-Wheel High Pressure Blowers
P##B
Open Radial Steel Wheel
Designed with an open radial steel wheel. Engineered for low air volumes at high static pressures, this product performs well across much of its fan curve due to its open radial design.
P##D
Open Radial Steel Wheel
Designed with an open radial steel wheel. Narrower than its B blower counterpart, the D blower hits lower volumes at even higher static pressures. With a continuously rising performance curve, it ideally hits performance points when very low volumes are required.
XP10
Narrow Extra Low Flow, Open Wheel
Narrow pressure blower for clean, lightly contaminated, and dust-laden airstreams. Built for extra low flow and high static pressure applications, it offers temperatures up to 1,200°F, and static efficiency up to 42%.
XP20
Wide Extra Low Flow, Open Wheel
Wide pressure blower for clean, lightly contaminated, and dust-laden airstreams. Its open radial blade design handles extra low flow applications at high static pressures, with temperatures up to 1,200°F, and static efficiency up to 55%.

FEATURED FAN
Continuous-Duty Pressure Blower for Automotive Application
AirPro engineered a high-pressure blower for an automotive facility requiring reliable, around-the-clock operation. Built with a welded aluminum fan wheel, an upblast configuration, and a direct-drive Arrangement 4 motor, the design is durable and efficient for continuous use.
Straight radial blades, set at 90 degrees to the wheel hub, keep debris from building up in the airstream—supporting consistent performance in high static pressure, low airflow applications. To further ensure system protection, vibration isolators minimize imbalance risks and safeguard both the fan and surrounding equipment from premature wear or failure.
- Product Type: P05D
- Application: Automotive
- Description: Size 160; Class 50; Arr. 4 (direct drive); 2 HP; 150ºF max temp design
- Performance: 400 CFM @ 14″ wg static pressure
Applications
Common High Pressure Blower Applications
Forced Draft
Forced draft systems push air into equipment for combustion or process support. High pressure blowers are a strong fit for high static pressure and controlled airflow.
Combustion Air
High-pressure fans move air to combust/burn fuels for different applications, including boilers, furnaces, and ovens.
Process Cooling
Process cooling systems move air to control heat and protect equipment. High pressure blowers are a strong fit when the application requires high static pressure and low airflow.
