Industrial Finishes for Centrifugal Fans

Industrial fan finishes are coatings we use on your fan’s interior and exterior. Due to specific methods of application, these coatings are both protective and aesthetic.

Coatings & Custom Finishes

The main purpose for applying industrial coatings to the fan is to protect it from corrosion and make the materials more resistant to fire, heat, particles, and other elements. For many customers, the finishing selection is also weighted heavily by aesthetic appeal as they want a good-looking fan that fits into their system well. No matter how you want it, we are experts at custom finishing, and welcome the opportunity to impress you with our custom finishing prowess.

Our Industrial Coatings and Custom Finishes

Custom finishes are important to us because we build our products with care and want them to be coated properly to deliver long life to you and perform well. We use a variety of enamels, specialty paints, and other custom linings to increase the life of your industrial equipment.

Our standard industrial primer and enamel will protect your fans in a general industrial environment. Other finishes and linings offer protection for specialized environments, such as high temperature, corrosive, abrasive, and food grade applications.

Primary Industrial Finishes for Centrifugal Fans

Wet paints: Industrial coating for general industrial environments. There are options for high temperature, food grade, and other custom requirements.

  • Enamel: Often specified for high or volatile temperature and waterproofing applications, enamel paint can be oil-based, water-based, or latex-based
  • Epoxy: Epoxy wet paint industrial coatings are resin-based, and produce a chemical and solvent-resistant finish to protect against water, alkali, and acids
  • Polyurethane: A single-coat system for steel and aluminum surfaces, polyurethanes provide chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance

Surface cleaning: Sometimes an application calls for material to be removed rather than added and we can accommodate for this as well.

  • Color clean: When it is preferred to clean stainless welds and leave the stainless uncoated
  • Near white blast: This process removes all residue from the metal surface leaving only the base metal to prevent corrosion on corrosive resistant alloys
  • Polish: When more precision finishes are required, we can accommodate food grade type alloy polish

Special linings: Generally applied to the fan interior for added protection from corrosive and abrasive materials.

  • Rubber: A tough elastic polymeric material that coats the inside of containers to prevent corrosion
  • Ceramic tile: Wear-resistant, fire-resistant, anti-corrosion, non-oxidizing, ceramic linings effectively prolong the service life of the equipment
  • Teflon: Teflon industrial liners protect equipment in harsh, high-heat applications. Most Teflon coatings for industrial use require a primer coat

Powder coating: Economical, long-lasting, and available on virtually any type of metal, powder coated finishes are resistant to damage from impact, moisture, and chemicals.

Other custom coatings are available – just ask an application engineer!

We highly recommend discussing your finish and coating concerns with our application engineering group. There may be important factors you may want to consider before selecting a fan for your application.
