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.
Radial Tip Fan & Blower Description
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
AirPro’s heavy-duty radial tipped fan, RTHS, is designed to move high volumes of air at low to high pressure. It can handle both clean and dirty airstreams.
RTMS
Radial-Tipped, Medium-Volume, Single-Width
The narrower RTMS is designed to handle medium air volumes while delivering higher static pressures than its higher volume counterpart. Its efficient operating potential combined with its rugged durability make it an exceptional choice for several applications.

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
- Application: Recycling & Salvage; Abrasive Materials
- Description: Class 4, Arr. 1, 194 bhp, 200 hp motor, 150ºF max temp design
- Performance: 150,250 CFM @ 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.
Common Radial Tip Fan Applications
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.
Corrosive Gases:
Radial tipped fans remove fume exhaust for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and many other industries.
Additional Applications:
Our centrifugal fans operate in a wide variety of industrial and other air pollution control applications.
