Introduction
Every room in a building, manufacturing unit, or house should have proper ventilation. To have good ventilation, the importance of a fan to disperse air within the enclosed room should be considered. In the case of industries and factories, industrial fan maintenance is essential.
Items Needed
- Firstly the build-up on the fan must be examined carefully to understand the level of the first present on it.
- Usually, there is plenty of dust that gardens to form a crust with frequent use.
- However, there can be a change in the level of dirt, especially in kitchens and chemical manufacturing industries.
- The build-up of oil combined with dust makes a greasy and sticky solution that remains on the fan blades.
- It not only slows the fan and increases electricity consumption, but also reduces the efficiency of the ventilation system.
Spirits
- Spirits are key to removing grease.
- Spirits contain some amount of alcohol that dissolves the build-up of stains and oily grease.
- An industrial fan maintenance expert will suggest that the spirits used must not be too harsh or they may wear out the blades themselves.
Vacuum Cleaning
- It is best to clean off dry dust and particles on the fan blades and components.
- Usually, the dry particles fall off easily without any complications.
- Vacuum cleaning of fans also prevents any foreign objects from remaining stuck inside the fan circuits or motors.
Parts Management
- Industrial fan maintenance has a very important part of the discussion.
- It is crucial to tighten screws, nuts, and bolts after the cleaning process so that the components remain fixed properly.
- The screws, nuts, and bolts can be cleaned using specialized mineral oils so that their integrity is not tampered with.
Lubrication
- Lubrication plays an important role in deciding how well the fan is going to function after cleaning.
- Regular lubrication of the motor after the removal of dust is preferred.
- The rotating shaft in the motor usually experiences a lot of friction.
- The friction causes parts of the motor to wear off very easily.
- Friction also produced heat when parts are in contact with each other.
- Heat can ruin the wiring of the fan and can even cause a fire.
- Therefore, the appropriate use of lubricants is advised.
Fan Belt
- The fan belt tension of every fan must be standard.
- If the tension falls too low, the blades will not turn fast enough.
- If the tension is too fast, the blades might turn faster than intended. In the process, the belt can wear out fast.
- With proper tension maintenance, the need for regular changes in belts will be reduced.
- This is also known as preventive maintenance as well.
Conclusion
The most important feature of any room is the clean, fresh air in it. No matter how clean and aesthetic a place is, if it does not smell normal, it is not there. Stale air is never preferred, even if it is from a factory. Fresh air keeps people in it fresh too.
