Fans
Fan Manufacturing, Repair & Wear Protection Solutions
Avweld specialises in the manufacture, repair, and lining of all types of industrial fans, delivering durable wear protection solutions designed to extend service life and improve performance. From custom fan manufacturing through to advanced hardfacing and coating technologies, Avweld provides a complete range of options to suit fans operating in abrasive, high-wear industrial environments.
Key features
Custom Fan Manufacturing & Repairs
Comprehensive manufacturing and repair solutions for all fan types, tailored to your specific operational requirements — from full fan builds through to targeted repairs on existing equipment.
Wear Plate Supply & Installation
High-quality wear plates supplied and professionally installed for maximum protection, ensuring fan components are shielded against abrasive wear from day one.
AbrasaPlate® Solutions
Fans can be fully manufactured from wear-resistant chrome carbide plate or fitted with replaceable wear liners, giving operators flexibility between built-in protection and serviceable liner systems. Lightweight options are available from 3+3mm thickness, reducing structural load without compromising wear resistance.
Advanced Hardfacing Technologies
Laser cladding or MIG welding using tungsten carbide, chrome carbide, or general hardfacing materials, applied to enhance durability in high-wear zones of fan components.
Arc Spray Coatings
Chrome boron arc-sprayed coatings provide effective, general-purpose wear resistance — a cost-efficient option for fans operating in moderately abrasive conditions.
HVOF Coatings
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) applied tungsten carbide delivers superior surface hardness and longevity, suited to fans operating in the most demanding high-wear environments.
Loctite Composite Coatings
Cost-effective, lightweight coating solutions offering excellent surface finish and protection — a practical option where weight and finish quality are priorities alongside wear resistance.
Applications
Avweld's fan manufacturing and wear protection services are suited to:
- Industrial fans operating in abrasive dust, particulate, or material-laden airflow
- Mining, mineral processing, cement, and power generation environments
- Fans requiring lightweight wear protection where structural load is a design constraint
- Existing fan equipment needing repair, relining, or wear upgrade rather than full replacement
Does Avweld manufacture new fans or only repair existing ones?
Both — Avweld provides comprehensive fan manufacturing and repair solutions for all fan types, tailored to specific operational requirements.
What wear protection options are available for industrial fans?
Avweld offers a range of options including AbrasaPlate® chrome carbide plate and replaceable wear liners, advanced hardfacing (laser cladding or MIG welding with tungsten or chrome carbide), arc spray coatings, HVOF coatings, and Loctite composite coatings — selected based on the fan's operating environment and wear demands.
What's the difference between HVOF coatings and arc spray coatings?
HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) applied tungsten carbide delivers superior surface hardness and longevity, making it suited to the most demanding high-wear environments, while chrome boron arc-sprayed coatings offer effective, general-purpose wear resistance at a lower cost — a better fit for moderately abrasive conditions.
Can fans be built with lightweight wear protection?
Yes — fans can be manufactured with lightweight AbrasaPlate® options starting from 3+3mm thickness, reducing structural load while maintaining wear resistance.
Should I choose a replaceable wear liner or fully hardfaced fan construction?
This depends on the application — fully manufactured chrome carbide plate construction suits fans in continuous severe wear conditions, while replaceable wear liners offer easier maintenance and part replacement without rebuilding the whole fan. Avweld can advise which option best suits your specific operating conditions.
