ID (Induced Draft) fans are critical in boilers and process plants to maintain stable draft and safe operation. Unbalance, dust buildup, erosion and alignment issues can create high vibration and repeated bearing failures. Our ID fan services include inspection, impeller repair/refurbishment support, onsite/in-shop dynamic balancing and vibration analysis so your fan runs smoothly and reliably.

Vibration analysis support to prevent repeat failures beyond balancing.
Reliable ID fans maintain stable draft, reduce vibration and protect bearings in critical boiler/process operation.
An ID fan maintains negative pressure and draft in boilers and furnaces by extracting flue gas through the system. Stable ID fan operation is important for combustion efficiency and safe plant operation.
Yes, where access and safety conditions allow. We use portable instruments to measure vibration and calculate correction weights on the installed fan. If onsite balancing is not feasible, we can recommend in-shop balancing/overhaul options.
Common reasons include dust buildup, erosion, damaged blades, loose foundation/fasteners, misalignment, bent shaft and worn bearings. We support balancing and vibration analysis to confirm the real root cause.
Fan type, operating RPM, access/guarding details, where weights can be fitted, and your shutdown window. A short vibration history and photos of the fan/drive help us plan the job.
