Tub Horizontal Grinders for Sale

Reversing Fans Are Cool

Tub and Horizontal grinders generate plenty of dirty, debris-filled air around the engine and radiator. Having a reversing fan on your grinder is convenient and almost necessary, depending on the application and the person running your grinder. If your operator fails to “blow out” the radiator at the right intervals, you could be looking at costly repairs and down time. By continuously cleaning the radiator, a reversing fan will allow the engine to run cooler and reduce fuel consumption.

Cleanfix® Reversible Fans Will Help You Maximize Your Investment, and Your Valuable Time.

In these tough economic times, it is more important than ever to squeeze every dollar you can from your investments. If new machines are not in your plan, you have to make your existing fleet last longer. You have to do everything you can to reduce your fuel usage and lower your repair costs. Most importantly, you must use your time wisely.

Cleanfix® Reversible Fans can help you do all of these things. Clean radiators save fuel. Clogged heat exchangers cause engines to work harder to move cooling air, and that uses more fuel. Plugged charge air coolers can cause engine controllers to error-code, resulting in further inefficiency. Cleanfix® Reversible Fans automatically purge debris from cooling system air paths to allow engines to run more efficiently. It is just that simple.

Cleanfix® Variable-Pitch Reversible Fans provide additional fuel savings when operating in lower ambient temperatures, by adjusting blade pitch to move only enough air to provide proper cooling. Less horsepower (and less fuel) is required to move less air, and engine overcooling is eliminated. As things warm up, Cleanfix® Reversible Fan blades increase their pitch automatically (and continuously) to compensate for rising temperatures. Cleanfix® Variable-Pitch Reversible Fans provide the same cleaning performance as fixed-pitch fans, and they require no interface with vehicle electronic systems for their Variable-Pitch function.

Time is money, and that is no cliche. Why have operators standing around waiting for machines to cool down … or worse, running them until they get so hot that expensive components are damaged! Overheating doesn’t just damage engines. Hydraulic and hydrostatic systems are also expensive to repair, and most are far more sensitive to heat than engines. Even minor failures can put you down at the worst times. Major failures can cost major money, and major downtime. Machines operating in high airborne debris need Cleanfix® Reversible Fans, and the cost of even one failure can be more than the installation of a Cleanfix® Reversible Fan. Cleanfix® Reversible Fans are proven performers in a wide-range of high-debris equipment applications, in thousands of machine models … from over 100 makes, including all the major brands.

Cleanfix® Reversible Fans require little or no maintenance, and they are fully-automatic. They can also be cycled with the push of a button in applications where automatic operation is not convenient. There is no need to slow or stop the engine for purging. Unlike hydraulic “spin-backwards” fans, Cleanfix® Reversible Fan blades rotate a full 180° while the fan is spinning at full speed. The fan hub itself does not change the direction of its rotation. For this reason, a Cleanfix® Reversible Fan does not have to slow, stop, reverse rotation, and build speed like a hydraulic reversing fan; which is really more of an afterthought than a purpose-built cleaning solution.

Cleanfix® Reversible Fans are Tier 4 compliant, unlike most spin-backwards designs. Rotating the Cleanfix® Fan blades provides another major benefit over other reversing fan designs … they use the cupped sides of the blades to move air! Why try and use the back sides? Try eating a bowl of soup with the back side of a spoon. Some things are designed to work just one way. Cleanfix® Reversible Fans move as much air when they purge as they do when they cool. They are the only design that can make that claim.

Lastly, let’s talk about your time … possibly the most valuable asset you have. As an operator, you have better things to do than to clear out radiators and other coolers every few hours (or more often in many cases). As a fleet manager, can you rely on your operators to stop (and clean) machines before they overheat … and do you have the budget to pay for a major component failure if they don’t? Do you have to make your fleet last another year … or longer? And do you want to maximize resale value when it is time to trade up? Neglected machines are worth much less at trade-in time. They are prone to premature failures and expensive downtime. Maximize your investment with Cleanfix® Reversible fans.
