How do they even make fans immune to explosions? I wouldn't be surprised if at least the motor got annihilated, even if being slightly scorched is the worst the rest of the fan has to endure
I have an older model of this and the metal is very heavy Duty. Mine came from a Steelcase furniture shop. Very interesting. Great Video. Thank You.
I have both the old and the newer one and it’s crazy how thin and cheap the newer ones feel
Man, I feel your pain. You should call ebay. I believe they except returns, especially if they lied. You probably can use a proto power or a bottle jack and some lumber. strap down blower housing to a strong work bench. And press out dent from inside out. Looks like unit got smash from the outside, where the plate for motor sits.
Hello there I am interested to see how you go with your fan I have a air conditioner fan I would like to try I use to work in a dangerous goods place so I no about flame proof motors
Can you link where you got the fan.
On Ebay if the ad and pictures are misleading you can contact Ebay and tell them even if the ad say "all sales are final" Ebay sides with the buyer 85% of the time. They'll make them refund your money plus shipping cost to return it. If the seller refuses Ebay will refund your money and deal with the seller.
Or he may be able to get Ebay to have seller make a deal where they have him refund some of his money but he would get to keep unit!
Yes that too. Ads that say NO REFUNDS or ALL SALES ARE FINAL don't mean crap if the ad is misleading. Ebay sides with the buyer must of the time. I've got full refunds and kept the item.
Oh my god get to the point!
where did you get the fan?
i used to installed accudraft spray booth.. sometimes we would installed fans kinda like that one... but I think we installed a 36" fan with 10 hp motor
I work in a paint booth all day every day.
My stack is 36”
Being out of round wont hurt it.
Grab a mallet and make room for the fan to turn freely and call it a day.
Pretty shitty of them to sell that without telling you it wont turn.
Just looking at the design and wonder if a band of 3/16 mild steel tigged to the exterior could stiffen the unit after you have rounded it out with a hammer
....Part of the risk of explosions/sparks can be vastly reduced by using 3 phase motors...they don't have a mechanical starting/running switch inside like most all single phase motors......3 phase motors are usually less expensive and can swing a larger fan.....
I think if the fan have 3-phase motor, what about my own idea, which is a Reptenoptonix IGBT VVVF which is a third generation of Onix IGBT VVVF
Crescent wrench some wood blocks and a big hammer should get that fan fixed up.
First off, I'd cut the motor mount from the housing with a zip disc on a grinder. It is bent and not easy to repair if left on the housing. Then I'd take a bottle jack and some spacers and gently expand the housing back into a circle from the inside. When that is accomplished, then repair the 90 degree bends on the motor mount and weld it back on to the housing.
Spending an hour fixing what you've got is way cheaper than the price of another one at full price.
Gary, doesn't the fan recommend a certain size motor and RPM?
All sales are final but, they did not disclose the fan is inoperable? I would have filed a claim with shipping. Did you try a hydraulic jack spaced in?
Bottle Jack mounted to a wooded buck that has a round matching bottom.
Would there be advantages to having a variable speed motor for the fan?
Take the fan off and bend the housing as round as you can so the blades are centered within a 1/16". it would be ideal to get a 3 phase 220VAC, 5 HP motor and a VFD that way you have enough HP to run at whatever speed and direction you need, under VFD control. the cost of a chinese VFD is worth tons of frustration swapping pullies, buying fan belts, and screwing with air flow research. As you noted, some people want to get rid of 3 phase motors. then run the fan on the bench to make sure it does not vibrate and moves air smoothly.
Contact the seller, ad was BS. I would cut some half circle rings on your plasma to use to get the tube circular again. cut the motor mount off first. the fan should have the motor requirements in the paperwork. if not send me the model info and I'll have a look.
Looks like an aeration fan for a grain bin, and they move a horrendous amount of ait
I'd be concerned that with whatever damage it has, does it compromise the actual integrity and safety of the fan in operation, as well as its anti-explosion properties?
STILL A GOOD PRICE....the first tyme u turn the booth on...u will love it
That Simplex still speaks to me!
I would trim the blades, it won't change your air flow.
Yeah and throw the balance off
Looking good keep it up
You might have to heat that fan up to straighten it.
Lil mods but heck u got it u building everything from scratch thought u were going to build the fan from scratch lol..we all doing cool over here just trying to keep up with Lil C and Baby J lol
yeah...so its belt drive i guess is what you mean or so
(Clockwas) what?
If it was me id remove the fan blade and set the high side of the motor mount on something solid and gap the low side and beat it with a hammer until the motor mount was even and symmetrical again and then dolly until the blade was running with the same gap all the way around.
seal both ends with a gasoline soaked rag inside and ignite.
You scoff, but I seen a dented Harley tank accidentally repaired this way
Use a port a power with a 2x4. Works great.
Sucks about the fan not turning Gary.
UH HUH and yup! Gary I have a Dayton 24" Tubeaxial fan for my paint room. My paint room is a room built into my shop, framed and sheetrock. My fan has a 1 HP single phase motor that runs on 120 or 240 volts as desired. They use non sparking aluminum propeller blades for explosion voidence. The motor runs an 1 1/2' pulley and the fan shaft has what looks to be about a 4" pulley. In my 20 ft x 30 ft paint room that fan will suck the hair off your head. Anything bigger than 1 HP 1750 rpm will be totally wasted and even a problem because I still have to baffle off the tube opening to slow down the air flow. I wish you luck with your paint room set up. Cheers OLDDUDE.
PS message me your usps mailing address as I have an inquiry for some metal pcs that I am thinking about having made up.
Great Info! Good to know. I also have a 1HP 1750 rpm motor, so it's good to hear that works for you. Do you run 2 belts or one?
Just one belt, it doesn't take much effort to turn the propeller blade and it works quite efficiently with the 1 hp and single belt. Cheers OLDDUDE
Oh yea another thing is that I mounted a metal electrical box onto the tunnel housing and ran the power line to the box and installed a switch in the box with a power wire going from the switch into the motor wiring box on the motor. I drilled an 1/8"" hole thru the switch flip lever and installed a stiff pc of wire in the hole and thru the wall that allowed me to keep the power switch out of the paint room but allowed me to pull or push the wire toggle to turn the power switch on or off from inside the room to start or stop the fan from the working area instead of having to turn it on before opening the door and entering the paint room causing the fan to draw unfilltered air into the room when the fan is running. Cheers OLDDUDE
all the explosion proof fans I've seen use nylon/composite blades.
aluminum is spark resistant the best you can have!!
You got a deal on the fan but...I would still contact the seller and demand a partial refund because it is unusable as they shipped it..You should get paid for the time it will take you to get the fan operational.
I think that Marathon motor is high quality. But it's probably much more speed and HP than you need. You might better save it for a machine you need to power up. Whatever you end up using, make sure it has a capacitor start.
I'd take the blade off, clamp it to your table. Bolt some steel to the table in the center. Maybe use a small bottle jack to slowly push out the dent.
Pshht, hammer and dolly work...
I'd be willing to bet if you sealed that chamber off filled the area with solvent and struck a spark in there the explosion 💥 would repair the shipping damage ez peasy. Ironically. Sorry Gary just being a smart ass bum deal on the fan. The new design looks like a paint gun holder.?🤔
solar panels are the answer. You are welcome
Hey brother I will buy it from you I need a fan for painting...
1700 is good cfms...the pullys SIZE will help ALOT
RPMs. 1700 is approximate RPM for this size fan to pull over 8000 CFM. There’s a very specific fan speed for these fans and also a very specific size pulley as well as the matching V belts all need to be precise where people can die.
Overpaid for it
Fan rs
There's 14 minutes of my life I'll never get back!!!!! Really, Fedex...signature...??? We don't F***ing care man. Get on with already. "well, uhhh, ya know, uhh, and then I, uhh, golly, where was I?"
Think. Before. Trying. To. Speak.
I would contact that seller Gary! That's sort of bull crap!! Minor damage my foot, EBay will contact the seller and hopefully they will make it right with you! Really sorry to hear that Gary!! So not cool👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Try scripting your video but for you start recording. Eliminate a few umms, and cut out the stories.
Paid too much for a beat up fan some people on ebay sell some crap that has been installed and thats ehy they dont accept returns. Ill sell ypu a burnt motor , no refunds ok
Dude preplan
your statements you say huh more than anyone I've ever seen.
lol I hope u never hear me talk
