Specifications: The fan supports motors up to 125 HP, available in sizes from 12" to 60", and handles capacities up to 156,000 CFM. It is constructed with heavy gauge steel and features a solid airfoil blade for high efficiency.
Construction and Features: Includes a heavy-duty drive panel with welded support gussets, an integral inlet cone assembly, and is available with AMCA spark-resistant construction. It can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Temperature and Material Options: Available in constructions for temperatures up to 800°F with mild steel and up to 1000°F with stainless steel. Consultation is recommended for temperatures above 1000°F.
Optional Features: Options include safety guards, shaft seals, shaft coolers, extended lubrication lines, and various inlet cone configurations. Bearings are heavy-duty ball or spherical roller types, with precision shafts made from SAE 1040-1045 steel.
Performance and Efficiency: Designed to maintain mechanical efficiency of no less than 75% with steep pressure and non-overloading horsepower characteristics, tested in accordance with AMCA standard 210.
Installation and Maintenance: The design allows easy access to bearings and components for maintenance, ensuring high quality and reliability.
Additional Specifications: Wheels must be balanced to G6.3 standards, and the shaft should be made of 1045 hot rolled steel with a maximum T.I.R. of 0.002 inches. The critical speed of the shaft must be at least 1.25 times the maximum RPM.
Mounting: The drive panel assembly should have a standard bolt pattern for easy connection, with an adjustable motor base.
Factory Mounted Motors and Drives: Units must be tested for vibration and balance, with vibration readings not exceeding 0.15 inches per second.
1000°F Construction: Includes a stainless steel wheel, hub, and shaft, with a shaft cooler, shaft seal, and insulation to isolate airstream temperatures.
Accessories: Options include shaft coolers, shaft and bearing guards, heavy-duty housing, slip-fit inlet connection, aluminum inlet cone, shaft seal, adjustable motor base, belt guards, V-belt drives, insulated plug panel, inlet cone mounting hardware, AMCA spark-resistant construction, and shipping crate.

Chicago’s new compact Design 70 Plug Fan is designed for high temperatures to 1000° F, typically ovens, kilns, and dryers, anywhere air streams need to be recirculated. The system plenum serves as the fan housing, reducing space requirements and connecting ductwork, and therefore overall system costs. Fan can be installed either vertically or horizontally. \ New Energy Saving Wheel The Design 70 wheel was developed for open wheel installations and utilizes a solid, single surface airfoil blade to provide Chicago's Plug Fan with one of the industry's highest efficiencies. With reduced horsepower...

Inlet Cones Spun steel inlet cones are designed to provide maximum adjustability and prevent wheel rubbing in both axial and radial planes, extremely critical in temperature applications because of shaft expansion. Angle inlet ring is supplied as an accessory if an inlet connection is required. Heavy duty ball or spherical roller bearings are both 2-bolt or 4-bolt pillow block type with either grease or oil lubrication. Precision shafts are made from grade SAE 10401045 steel, turned, ground and polished for close tolerance fit. PLUG FANS Safety Guards Housings maximize performance by increasing...
