Superficial transport damages like scratches
or small holes may be repaired with touch-up

den Contract Engineer within 2 weeks from

Handling
Fan blades of E-series impellers larger than
26 ft. are packed in so-called “bunk beds” or
specially developed transport frames.
Figure 1
The width of these crates suits standard con-
tainer dimensions. Fan blades that will be
transported by container sea-freight, are
equipped with and hoist eyes (see figure 2),
to allow easy container loading / unloading.
Through these hoist eyes, one can pull the
bunk beds from the container without dam-
aging the fan blades or the crates.
Figure 2
The fan blades can be lifted from the packing
by placing a single sling around the blade.
Position the sling as such that the blade tip is
somewhat hanging down which makes it
easier to move the blades around.
Fan blades of impellers smaller than 26 ft.,
are packed in strong wooden cases or crates.
Storage
If not installed immediately, it is recom-
mended to store the impeller in a dry and
shaded area.
For long-term storage (in excess of 6 months)
it is necessary to check the condition of the
corrosion protection agent on all machined
surfaces.
Reapply or repair where necessary, using an
acid-free corrosion protection agent (e.g.
Esso Rust ban 397 or equivalent).
You may stack the “bunk beds” to a maximum
of 3 high. Do not allow any heavy materials of
any kind to be stored on top of the blades.
