Centrifugal Radial Tip Fans for Clean or Dirty Air
Industrial Radial Tip Fan & Blower Overview
AirPro’s radial tip fans and blowers are engineered for efficient, reliable airflow in clean, dirty, corrosive, and saturated airstreams. The radial tipped blade design helps move dust, particulate, and other materials through the wheel to reduce buildup and support dependable induced draft performance.
The RT design combines the efficiency of a backward curved fan with the material-handling capability of a self-cleaning radial fan, making it a strong fit for process air applications where efficiency, durability, and reduced maintenance are priorities.
For corrosive, high-temperature, or chemically demanding environments, radial tip fans can be built from stainless steel or other alloys, with epoxy coatings or special linings available for added protection. AirPro’s RT fans also feature a non-overloading horsepower characteristic and are built for long service life in rugged industrial environments.

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.
