Steel, Pellet and Sinter Plants
One of the most important design factors in this industry is protection against abrasion and wear. COVENT designs their rotors without the need for blade reinforcing hoops. This reduces wear by eliminating the risk of dust build-up where the hoops intersect with the blades. Additional wear caused by abrasion on the hoops themselves is also avoided.
Exhaust fan for sinter plant.
Fan model C40D-1485 rated at 988,810 ACFM (467 m3/s); 9,859 BHP (7 352 kW);
backwards curved bladed 148.5’’ (3 772 mm) dia.rotor
An example of a large DWDI rotor protected with chromium carbide full
surface blade liners. The wheel is type "E" flat backward
inclined also known as modified radial tip. This design is resistant to
dust build-up and the flat blade surfaces are well suited for liners of
hardened steel plates and chromium carbide overlay plates.
Hood exhaust fan for a pellet plant. Fan model E60D-1030 rated at 600,000 ACFM (283 m3/s); 2,763 BHP (2 061 kW); slightly backwards flat bladed 103" (2 616 mm) dia. rotor.
Windbox recuperation fan for a pellet plant. Fan model E40D-1270 rated at 600,000 ACFM (283 m3/s) 3,569 BHP (2 662 kW); slightly backwards flat bladed 127" (3 226 mm) dia. rotor.
