Blower Repairs And Maintenance Operations In Industry

By Chloe Gib


Blower repairs and maintenance are two very important jobs within the industrial manufacturing industry, as well as many other areas where this type of equipment is used. Waste water pump repair and industrial pump repair servicemen are required to have a certain level of training to perform routine tasks involving large blowers and vertical fans. There are horizontal and vertical furnaces and other types of mechanical equipment that must move flue gases.

Blowers are used to move air. Usually the stream is contained to an enclosed tube, or duct, moving air to the desired location. This could be the inside of a hot air heating system, or to remove the fumes a boiler will make when it burns fossil fuels, like heating oil and natural gas.

Exhaust fans almost always have a blower motor that will eventually need some sort of repair or replacement. There are a multitude of applications for servicemen to find employment in this field, from waste water treatment plants, to nuclear reactors, A shortage of knowledgeable men and women in the exist in the industry.

Most equipment like this will need a completely new motor at some time in their useful life. Replacing the motor is a common job in this area. This requires knowledge of both mechanical and electrical areas within this field of repair.

Motors have little that can be serviced other then what we've previously discussed and more often than not will end up being be replaced. Pumps however that are used in the same industries are more complex and require a lot of service to remain in top operating condition.

Waste water pumps as well as most other pumps, will occasionally need to have the impeller changed. This is the internal propeller that moves water the way a fan would move air. Also within an enclosed environment, the pumps are used to move fluids in all kinds of systems.

Other areas where this equipment can be found in need of service will include plants that perform desalinization tasks to provide clean drinking water from distilled sea water. Pumps and all their internal moving parts are crucial for this task. Mechanical apparatus being used to the capacity needed to achieve a greater output, will always eventually cause a mechanical failure.

As you can see blower repairs can be a catchall for many maintenance repairs on a variety of mechanical equipment. It is also usually associated with replacing entire systems as well as just the blower component. Systems involved may include electrical codes and safety requirements for the people that work on them. Certified service individuals are in constant demand for this field.
