Centrifugal Radial Tip Fans for Clean or Dirty Air
The radial tipped fan delivers high static efficiency while resisting material buildup on the wheel/impeller. A radial tipped blade design keeps dust and other particulates moving through the wheel to exit the fan. Additionally, radial tipped fans offer induced draft air for both clean and dirty air applications.
Industrial Radial Tip Fan & Blower Overview
AirPro’s radial tipped (RT) design offers the high efficiency of our backward curved fans combined with the capability found in our self-cleaning radial fans to remove particulates and other pollutants, helping to reduce maintenance requirements.
Our centrifugal radial tipped fans move corrosive and saturated air. The fan airstream can be constructed from stainless steel or other alloys for performance and aesthetics. Epoxy coatings and special linings are also available for durability, protecting the fan from corrosion and making the materials more resistant to chemicals, heat particulate and other elements. Both designs feature a non-overloading horsepower characteristic.
Our line of RT fans continue a track record of success in providing process air to many industries. Customers rely on their years of consistent and reliable service to keep their facilities running and production strong.

Radial Tip Blower & Fan Types
RTHS
Radial-Tipped, High-Volume, Single-Width
Heavy-duty radial tip fan for clean to lightly contaminated airstreams and gases. Self-cleaning blades support high-volume airflow across low to high pressures, with temperatures up to 1,000°F, static efficiency up to 78%, and a non-overloading power curve.
RTMS
Radial-Tipped, Medium-Volume, Single-Width
Narrower radial tip fan for gases and lightly contaminated airstreams. Designed for medium air volumes and higher static pressures, it combines efficient performance with rugged durability, temperatures up to 1,000°F, static efficiency up to 73%, and a non-overloading horsepower characteristic.
FEATURED FAN
Heavy-Duty Radial Tipped Fan for Recycling & Salvage
AirPro designed this RTHS 490 radial tipped fan for a recycling and salvage facility in Texas, engineered to handle the rugged, abrasive demands of the job. Designed for high-volume airflow at a wide range of pressures, this heavy-duty workhorse moves both clean and contaminated airstreams with ease.
It features a ceramic felt shaft seal for superior particulate resistance and a 200 hp belt-driven TEFC motor for maximum protection against corrosion, dirt, and moisture. A bolted access door simplifies maintenance, while OSHA-compliant carbon steel belt and bearing guards—finished in high-visibility canary yellow—ensure safety.
- Product Type: RTHS (radial-tipped, high-volume, single-width)
- Application: Recycling and salvage; Abrasive materials
- Description: Size 490; Class 4; Arr. 1 (belt-drive); 200 HP; 150ºF max temp design
- Performance: 150,250 ACFM @ 18″ wg static pressure
How the Self Cleaning Radial Tipped Fan Works
Radial tip fan blades are curved, with the outer blade tips positioned radially from the center hub. Designed for either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, the air enters at the front of the curve, gaining energy as it moves along the blade path.
This design not only enhances efficiency but also provides a self-cleaning effect, helping prevent material buildup on the blades, which is especially beneficial in dirty or particulate-laden airstreams.
Applications
Common Radial Tip Fan Applications
Induced Draft
Induced draft fans pull gases and fumes through equipment and out of the system. Radial tip fans are a strong fit because they handle clean and dirty airstreams with less material buildup.
Air Scrubbers
Wet and dry scrubbers clean air and other gases, removing pollutants and particulates. RTHS fans and blowers play a key role in this process.
Oxidizers
Oxidizers destroy harmful compounds in exhaust air before release. Radial tip fans are a strong fit for handling hot, contaminated airstreams.
