Unique Shaft Mount Provides Superior Durability
The uniqueness and superior performance of BloApCo Industrial and Material Handling Fan designs have been proven over the years – worldwide. Few companies in the United States offer fans similar to BloApCo fans, and none can match their durable design.
Whether it’s a Trim Handling Fan, a Heavy-Duty Industrial Fan, or a Custom Fan, at the heart of BloApCo design excellence is a unique shaft mount that outperforms and outlasts anything else in the industry. It’s a simple fact – a fan with a low overhung load performs more smoothly and lasts longer.
Ruggedly Built for Impact and Wear
BloApCo fans are built tough to take the impact abuse and erosive wear that result from large quantities of various materials passing through the fan housing. Some of our built-tough design features include oversized shaft diameter and hub, heavy duty bearings, continuous welded construction, and a 4-bold radial flange bearing to provide stability.
No Vibration
BloApCo Material Handling Fan blades are dynamically balanced (GT) to close tolerances. This means that they won’t vibrate, even as material passes thru them, making it unnecessary to mount them on isolation pads. They don’t vibrate even when mounted from the ceiling on a pedestal.
Prevent Hang-ups
Our fan wheels macerate the conveyed material passing thru the fan while limiting the possibility of the material hanging up in the wheel.
Put ’em in and Forget ’em!
Our many smart design features and rugged construction give BloApCo Fans long life with the minimum of maintenance. At the heart of our design excellence is a unique shaft mount that outperforms and outlasts anything else in the industry by reducing overhung load and lowering shaft stresses.

The key to BloApCo efficiency and dependability
At the heart of BloApCo design excellence is a unique shaft mount that outperforms and outlasts anything else in the industry. It’s a simple fact: a fan with a low overhung load performs more smoothly and lasts longer. It all adds up:
- Pedestal-mounted motor design extends V-belt life, keeping motor and fan shafts in close, rigid relationship.
- Flanged bearings allow close placement of inside bearing to reduce overhung wheel load.
- Oversized shaft diameter.
- Oversized hub.
- Heavy-duty, long-life bearings.
- All continuous welded construction.
- Certified, dynamically balanced fan wheel.
- Back plate prevents clogging.
- 4-bolt radial flange bearing provides excellent radial support when fan is conveying heavy offset loads. Pillow block bearings only provide stability in one direction.
- The 4-bolt flange bearing provides a shaft seal where the shaft passes through the housing. Pillow block bearings cannot provide this seal.
