Designs In Development

Northern has several new products moving through the test lab in its continuous search for more efficient fan designs. Check back often for future announcements.

Backward Curved Fans

Northern Blower recently announced the introduction of its new Series 4000 BCI fan line. This entirely new product line is composed of a family of related fan designs that contain variable diameter backward curved wheels. The series covers a broad range of volume capacities at moderate to high static pressures. For details and specifications, see our fans section.

New Brochure For Petro-Chemical Industry

Northern Blower has released a new brochure! Titled "Centrifugal Fans For Petro-Chemical Applications" this brochure was designed to magnify Northern Blowerís presence in the petro-chemical industry, especially for fans required to meet stringent API specifications. Check back regularly on the "Info" link at the top of this page for brochure availability.

Rigidlock Tilt Tension Base for Electric Motors

Northern Blower recently was granted United States Patent 5,921,876 for its Rigidlock Tilt Tension Base. The Rigidlock is an improvement on the design of the standard pivot motor base that is widely used in fan applications where quick drive-belt changes are required.

The downside of the standard pivot motor base is its tendency to "hop" on fan start up and put excess strain on drive components. The Rigidlock uses a series of clutch elements located at the front of the base to oppose the forces that induce hop. As a result, the Rigidlock provides much of the stability of a standard motor base along with the ease of belt change associated with a pivot motor base.

More information on the Rigidlock and its suitability to your application may be obtained through your local Northern representative.
