Wear Protection Solutions for Industrial Centrifugal Fans in Harsh Environments

6 Views

In demanding industrial settings where centrifugal fans must continuously handle air, dust, and heavy loads, wear and tear pose significant challenges. At TOMECO, we are committed to innovation, delivering effective wear protection solutions for centrifugal fans that ensure durable performance, reduced maintenance costs, and optimized efficiency.

Wear Protection for Centrifugal Fans in Harsh Conditions

TOMECO’s centrifugal fans are custom-designed for industries such as cement, steel, chemicals, recycling, and woodworking. These sectors often generate abrasive dust particles like clinker, quartz, blast furnace slag, or plastic fragments, which can erode fan components, cause imbalances, reduce efficiency, and lead to costly downtime.

We tackle this issue from the design stage. By thoroughly analyzing the gas composition and dust particle characteristics specific to each application, TOMECO employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to pinpoint high-wear areas, such as the leading edges and surfaces of impeller blades. This allows us to implement targeted protection measures tailored to each fan’s needs.

Understanding Wear Mechanisms for Better Protection

Not all dust particles are the same. For instance, cement dust is typically fine, ranging from 8–15 microns, while iron ore dust can be significantly larger. Beyond size, the shape and hardness of particles also influence wear. TOMECO’s deep understanding of these factors enables us to select the most suitable materials and protection strategies for each industry.

We avoid the “harder is better” approach, as ultra-hard coatings like tungsten carbide are expensive, complex to apply, and challenging to maintain. Instead, TOMECO opts for practical, cost-effective coatings. Our VentiWear material line combines compounds like chromium or tungsten carbides with metal matrices such as iron or nickel. These coatings withstand temperatures up to 600°C, achieve surface hardness of approximately 68 HRc, and offer resistance to cracking and corrosion—making them ideal for continuous operation in tough conditions.

Rather than coating entire fans, we focus on reinforcing high-wear zones: blade tips, impeller surfaces, blade roots, and housing areas exposed to abrasive gas streams. This precise approach extends fan lifespan while minimizing investment and operational costs. TOMECO’s modular solutions allow for flexible replacement of individual components, enhancing reusability and reducing long-term maintenance expenses.
