Maintaining optimal fan balance helps enhance performance, improve efficiency, reduce vibration, comply with regulatory requirements, promote safety, and avoid potentially catastrophic failures. As is the case with nearly all industrial equipment, fans can drift out of alignment after prolonged periods of operation, similar to tools that eventually require calibration. Unbalanced fans require more energy to operate, generate vibration, cause premature wear of critical components, and can ultimately lead to damage that must be repaired. Large fans that move significant amounts of air or gases are particularly prone to imbalance, potentially leading to ventilation system failure and even harmful conditions for workers. Some industries require fans to be balanced at predetermined intervals, though all industrial fans should be maintained with regularly scheduled fan balancing service appointments. The fan balancing experts at Applied Technical Services apply years of experience to perform quick, efficient service to minimize downtime and service interruptions while keeping costs competitive. We offer fan balancing services both in our state-of-the-art vibration testing laboratory and on-site at your facility for fans that cannot easily be transported.
