REVERSIBLE FANS
How the Cleanfix
®
Reversible Fan works:
The Cleanfix
®
fan is a pneumatically actuated variable
pitch fan. The blades are held in full pitch by spring
pressure. As air pressure builds, the pitch of the blade
changes to the reverse direction. When the pressure is
released, the fan blades return to their default cooling
position. The Cleanfix
®
fan has a number or inherent
features:
- Fail Safe: The blades are spring loaded into the cooling
position. If air pressure is lost the fan will default to
cooling position and act just like a fixed pitch fan giving
maximum cooling.
- No oil or hydraulics that may cause messy leaks that
may clog your radiator and cooling system
CONTROL KITS
Due to the variability of machines that the Cleanfix
®
fan
can be installed on, there are several control possibilities
including:
Machines without on- board air supply:
- Manual push button control system (SD compressor)
- Manual push button control system (HD compressor)
- Multi-timer control system (HD compressor)
Machines with on- board air supply:
- Manual push button control system
- Multi-timer control system
All of these control kits are available in 12V and 24V
configurations.
PNEUMATIC SPECIFICATION
The Cleanfix
®
fan can be operated using any air source
that meets the general specifications listed below. If
your machine has on-board air then this source will be
available. If not , then a compressor kit will be required.
General Specifications
Full Pitch (default cooling position): 0 psi
Reverse pitch (purge position): 70-90 psi
Max intermittent pressure: 120 psi
Max continuous pressure: 100 psi
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
A. VISUAL INSPECTIONS
Under normal operating conditions, Cleanfix fans do not
require any scheduled maintenance and are built to
provide thousands of hours of trouble free service. In
moderate to extreme operating conditions a visual
inspection of the moving parts is recommended from
time to time to safeguard against fan blade damage
which could lead to equipment and/or other damage.
B. FAN BLADES
The fan blades are designed to provide thousands of
hours of life and typically will last for the life of the fan.
Blade wear is largely dependant upon operating
conditions. In highly abrasive environments increased
blade war will occur.
C. LUBRICATION
To keep our fan in peak operating condition it is
recommended that the internal components are greased
on the following intervals. Note: Frequency may vary
with harshness of environment
-cycle frequency of 20-min.or less grease every 2500 hrs.
-cycle frequency of 20-min. or more grease every 4000 hrs.
D. MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
This check list is to provide some basic information to be
used at time of machine delivery and at regular
maintenance intervals.
CHECK YES NO
Does fan rotate from the Cooling
mode to Cleaning mode without
obstruction?
Are any of the blades damaged?
Are blades installed in the correct
orientation for your application?
(clockwise/counter clockwise)
Are correct blades installed?
Suction Fan - Blue Blades
Blower Fan - Black Blades
VP-Series Fan- Red Blades
Are all screens and guards secure?
Are all air lines secure?
