Longwell: Safer, Stronger and More Energy-efficient Plastic Fan Blade Manufacturer

Made of engineering plastics through injection molding and other processes, plastic impellers are core components in ventilation equipment such as blowers and HVAC systems. Their rotation generates airflow and promotes air movement.
 
Made from plastics such as PP, ABS, FRP, polyurethane resin, PET, and nylon, plastic impellers are characterized by their light weight, low cost, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use in commercial, residential, and industrial environments.
 
Due to the low melting point of plastic, its high plasticity allows for more aerodynamic blade designs with complex curved surfaces, such as backward-inclined or olive-shaped blades, effectively increasing air volume and pressure while reducing energy consumption.

9 Common Types of Plastic Fan Blades

Usually made of ABS polymer and similar resin, plastic ceiling fan blades can be molded into various shapes in the production process, which can not only serve as functional fans, but also serve as decoration for the interior.
Centrifugal Duct Fan

Cross Flow Fan Blade

The plastic cross flow fan blade is a long cylindrical structure, which is made by injection molding and ultrasonic welding. Its unique cross-flow design can form a wide and uniform airflow coverage layer, providing a stable laminar air barrier.
Plastic blower fan blade is the “heart” of many ventilation and heat dissipation equipment. It rotates at high speed driven by the motor, forming centrifugal force to suck in air axially and throw it out radially, thus generating a continuous flow of air.
The design and material of the blades directly affect the performance, efficiency and noise level of the exhaust fan. The plastic blades are corrosion resistant, lightweight, low noise, easy to process, suitable for kitchen, bathroom, industrial ventilation, etc.
Plastic radiator fan is a kind of axial fan. It drives the rotation of blades to push the air along the axial straight flow. The airflow takes away the heat when passing through the surface of the radiator, achieving the effect of heat dissipation and cooling.
The profile of efficient axial fan blade is wing-shaped, rather than flat, and this design produces greater wind pressure and reduces drag. The resulting airflow is parallel to the rotating shaft, pushing large amounts of air along a straight line.
The centrifugal fan blade consists of a front disc, rear disc, blades, and hub. Air is drawn in axially, rotated 90 degrees within the impeller, and then ejected radially at high speed. It is suitable for systems that require overcoming pipeline resistance.
The top of the backward curved blades is bent in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the impeller. This design forms a strong structure, so that it can maintain a stable power even when the wind volume is too large, thus protecting the motor.
In contrast to the backward curved type, the forward curved fan blades bend in the same direction as the impeller rotation. At the same size and speed, it can produce higher static pressure. It is compactly designed and cheaper to operate.

Duct Fan Types by Installation Areas

The inline duct fan adopts high efficiency backward curved centrifugal impeller design, pipe diameter range of 150mm to 315mm, maximum air volume up to 1000m³/h. It is embedded and fixed in the ventilation duct, integrated with the pipeline.

Smoke Extraction Fan

Smoke Extraction Fan

The smoke extraction fan is a specialized use of duct fan in fire emergency fields. It has a built-in cooling system that can operate continuously for over 30 minutes at 280℃, with air flow rate reaching 25,200 m³/h, ensuring the safe evacuation of people in buildings.

Duct Blower Fan

Duct Blower Fan

As the power source of ventilation systems, duct blower fan is usually installed at the areas requiring pressurization, which solves the problem of insufficient power in terminal rooms of central systems. It is widely used in exhaust treatment, pneumatic transportation, etc.

6 Common Materials of Plastic Fan Blades

Circular Duct Fan

ABS Plastic Fan Blades

ABS is non-toxic and odorless, with excellent temperature resistance and chemical resistance, and is easy to process and color. It is ideal for making blades that require high rigidity and balance, such as air-cooled cross-flow blades and centrifugal blades.

FRP Fan Blades

FRP, commonly referred to as reinforced plastic, is a composite material composed of glass fiber and resin matrix, with high strength-to-weight ratio. It has excellent corrosion resistance and can cope with various acids, alkalis and corrosive chemical gases.
Square Duct Fan

Polypropylene Fan Blades

Polypropylene(PP) blades are low cost, lightweight and resistant to chemical corrosion, and are often used in small fans and low static pressure applications. High quality PP blades are reinforced with stiffeners and glass fiber reinforcement to enhance strength.
Square Duct Fan

Polyurethane Resin Fan Blades

Compared with traditional epoxy resin and vinyl ester composites, blades made of polyurethane composites perform better in terms of tensile fatigue and interlayer fracture toughness, so they are often used in areas where performance is extremely high.
Square Duct Fan

PET Fan Blade

PET engineering plastics have the characteristics of high strength, high rigidity, good dimensional stability and heat resistance. These characteristics make PET suitable for manufacturing blades that need to operate stably under high load or certain temperature conditions.
Square Duct Fan

Nylon Fan Blade

Nylon blade has excellent wear resistance and high fatigue strength, as well as self-lubricating and oil-resistant properties. It can produce flexible deformation when the motor is rotating, thus significantly reducing energy consumption and noise.

Duct Fans

What Our Customers Say after Used

Applications of Axial Fan

Aerospace

Aerospace

Duct fan is often used in drones, aircraft, helicopters, etc., to provide the thrust needed for vertical lifting. Its blades are located inside the pipeline and do not touch external objects, making it highly safe. It also makes much less noise than traditional open tail propellers.

Building Ventilation

Building Ventilation

HVAC systems are indispensable in public places like commercial and industrial buildings, as well as home spaces including bathrooms and kitchens. Duct fan is the core components of ventilation systems, responsible for key functions such as air supply, exhaust and pipeline pressurization.

Equipment Cooling

Equipment Cooling

Server cabinets, frequency converters, laser equipment, welding machinery, etc. all need fan auxiliary cooling. For high heat dissipation demand of desktop computers or workstations, small duct fan is also used to provide strong directional airflow and water cooling exhaust.

Transportation

Transportation

A very typical application of duct fan on transport vehicles is hovercraft, which is used as a propeller or lifting fan to provide powerful thrust. In addition, it also provides forced cooling airflow for traction ventilation and cooling systems such as EMU and subway trains.

Petrochemical Industry

Thanks to the high protection rating up to IP55 and excellent corrosion resistance, duct fan is the first choice for ventilation in oil industry, mine, tunnel and other space. Its air volume can reach up to 60,000 CFM, and can ensure the safety of construction environment.

Frequent Questions You May Have about Duct Fan

1. How Noisy are Duct Fans? How Can Their Environmental Impact be Reduced?

The noise level of duct fans generally depends on the model, speed, and installation method. Low-noise models can be kept to 30-45 dB(A), while industrial-grade fans may reach 60-75 dB(A). To reduce noise, you can take the following measures:

  • Choose a brushless DC fan or a backward-flowing centrifugal impeller design, which are quieter.
  • Install flexible joints at the fan inlet and outlet to prevent vibration from being transmitted to the duct.

Install vibration-damping brackets or soundproof enclosures for the fan, and avoid installing it in sensitive areas.

● Refer to the EU ErP energy efficiency standards and prioritize models with efficiencies greater than 80%.

● Match air volume and pressure to actual needs to avoid wasting energy by exceeding actual air volume requirements.

Choose a model that supports intelligent control to facilitate integration with building automation systems for on-demand ventilation.

● Moisture-proof protection: Choose a motor with an IP54 or higher protection rating to protect it from splashing water and dust during use. If you’re purchasing a ducted fan for a bathroom, it’s best to choose a stainless steel or coated housing.

● High-temperature-resistant design: If you’re using the ducted fan for smoke exhaust or in high-temperature environments, choose a model with a temperature resistance of >80°C, and the motor should be located outside the airflow.

● Clean the impeller and housing regularly to prevent oil or dust accumulation that could affect heat dissipation.

We recommend an inspection every 6-12 months, but if used in an industrial environment, it’s best to inspect every 3-6 months. Inspections of ducted fans include cleaning the impeller, checking bearing lubrication, and tightening terminal blocks.

● Listen for any unusual noises, such as banging or sharp grinding sounds, to indicate impeller deformation or bearing damage.

● Touch the fan housing. If the temperature exceeds 70°C, it may be overloaded or experiencing poor heat dissipation. Observe whether there is a significant decrease in air volume. This could be caused by a clogged filter or loose belt.

Explosion-proof fans must comply with ATEX/IECEx certification standards. Their key differences from ordinary fans are:

Structural Design: The motor and casing are encapsulated in an explosion-proof package to prevent sparks from igniting explosive gases.

Material Requirements: The impeller and casing are typically made of non-sparking materials like copper alloy or coated steel.

Applicable Locations: Chemical, petroleum, and gas stations, among other environments where flammable and explosive gases or dust are present.
