More on Flakt Woods Axial Fans

I spent 3 years doing sub-contract assembly work for flakt woods fans. machineing hubs and assembling Breezax and TR series fans up to 75" dia with 100mm+ shaft bores.

Mine is a parts bin job (mis-fit parts were in the rubbish bin) that I made to work as a left hand fan using right hand blades. these are normally supposed to blow air over the motor but my motor runs cool without it (Aussie built Betts Airconditioner motor).

@METALLICA1024 yeah!, thats just with a 1/2Hp motor!. I've been meaning to put the 1.5Hp motor back on it

i like it. why do you have the fan on the drive motor? i would say it would not do much. cool vid.

[Aussie50]

Its an 'Air Over' motor that gets a bit warm down there, the microwave fan helps it stay cool.

bout 3.5 years doing hub machining as well as odd jobs around the factory. no real qualifications unfortunatly.
