Highly Efficient Backward Inclined Fans

The backward inclined fan, which is also referred to as a backward inclined blower, is highly efficient due to its simple, flat, backward inclined blades that minimize interference with airflow as air moves through the fan. It also offers lower sound levels and energy costs than many other fan types and includes a non-overloading horsepower design for low-pressure applications. Additionally, this fan is suited for clean air and/or high-temperature applications.

Backward Inclined Fan Description

BIHS (Backward Inclined, High volume, Single width) – the backward inclined blower moves high volumes of clean air at lower static pressures. It is available in belt-driven, direct-driven, and direct-coupled arrangements with varying impeller and housing widths.

BIMS (Backward Inclined, Medium volume, Single width) – designed for medium air volume levels, the BIMS operates at its peak performance point with static efficiencies in excess of 80%. This product is ideally suited for clean air applications demanding less volume than the BIHS is ideally suited for, and less pressure than the BCMS is ideally suited for.

BILS (Backward Inclined, Low volume, Single width) – designed as a narrower wheel offering in a backward inclined profile, the BILS moves lower air volumes than the BIMS at lower static pressures than the BCLS. Its rugged construction lends itself to simpler manufacturing and thus a nice option to consider when the application case fits it well.

BIHD (Backward Inclined, High volume, Double width) – this backward inclined fan model is similar to the BIHS except that the impeller and housing are double the width. This gives the BIHD a higher air flow capacity.

Our entire BI line is constructed by welding high grade metals together to build a product fit for rugged applications. These products are depended on by customers around the world to keep their facilities and processes in operation, and the construction reflects that reliance. They are also required to perform as specified, and the precision of the construction ensures that the products will deliver on the amount of air promised.

Backward Inclined Fan Performance & Design

  • Volume: up to 500,000 cfm
  • Pressure: up to 35”wg
  • Temperature: up to 1800°F
  • Static Efficiency: up to 81%
  • Drive: Belt & Direct

The best model for your application depends on the air volume and static pressure your system requires. It also depends on how clean or dirty the gas flowing through the machine will be, and the temperature of those gases. Our team of application engineers can review your system requirements and assist you in selecting the best product to suit your needs.

Common Backward Inclined Fan Applications

Dust Collection: In a dust collection applications, backward inclined fans typically provide induced draft air, sucking dust-laden air through a dust collector/baghouse. Learn More

Air Pollution Control: Backward inclined blowers are key components to a wide range of air pollution control equipment. Learn More

Other Applications: Industrial fans & blowers are used in countless applications across many different industries. Learn More
