OF ALL BLADES

Type HP-3-8 fans of 240" and
264" diameter standard bores
are shown on the back of this
page. Special assemblies of
other diameters from 217" to
263" and/or with special bores
are produced on order. The
eight glass reinforced
polyester blades are of twisted
and tapered aerofoil design,
produced in matched metal
moulds with moulding
pressure in excess of 300 PSI.
The blade shank is drilled for a
through bolt which accurately
positions the blade radially.
Blade clamps are hot dip
galvanized ductile iron
castings, radially positioned by
a through bolt and clamped by
two U-bolts. All blade clamping
hardware is galvanized. The
hub is a welded low carbon
steel assembly, consisting of a
center hub, spokes, spoke
braces, and center discs, hot
dip galvanized after fabrication.
Balance weights, as required,
are attached to the spoke
brace. The hub cover is
dome-shaped glass reinforced
polyester and attached near
the periphery with stainless
steel hardware.
