Forward Curved Fans

ProcessBarron does not offer any new Forward Curve designs, but will rebuild and improve an existing design by adding wear pads or rebuild your current design from high-strength steel. Performance-rated to AMCA standards and ANSI-balanced, these fans feature a unique double peak pressure curve for increased efficiency. Built from Hastelloy, ASTM A36, high-strength steels, and exotic alloys, they deliver long-lasting durability in high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. Available with dampers, expansion joints, spark-resistant construction, silencers, and extended-life bearings for optimized industrial fan performance.

Product Description

ProcessBarron designs and manufactures forward curved fans engineered for durability and long-lasting performance in industrial air, gas, dust, and material handling applications. Each fan is performance-rated in accordance with AMCA standards and rigorously tested to ensure proper rotating assembly operation, rotor resonance stability, and overall system efficiency per ANSI standards.

Forward curved fans are known for their unique performance curve, which produces two points of peak pressure generation. While compact in design, this design is best suited for clean air applications where material accumulation in the blade curve is minimal, ensuring consistent balance and reliable operation.

Our industrial fans are fabricated from premium materials, including high-strength carbon steels (A514/A517), and exotic alloys such as Hastelloy, to withstand high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. Precision construction and durable materials maximize fan life, efficiency, and reliability, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

We offer a wide range of forward curved fan options and accessories to meet system requirements, including inlet and outlet dampers, expansion joints, access doors, standard NEMA motors, spark-resistant construction, extended-life bearings, special coatings, and silencers. These options allow for customized solutions to enhance performance, safety, and operational efficiency in demanding industrial environments.

With decades of experience, ProcessBarron’s engineering and service teams provide expert guidance for fan selection, system integration, and installation support. From new mechanical draft fans to replacement units, we deliver industrial fan solutions that optimize airflow, reduce energy consumption, and maintain consistent, reliable operation.

Enhance your industrial air handling system with rebuilt or armored ProcessBarron forward curved fans, engineered for rugged durability, and long-term reliability in air, gas, dust-laden applications.
