Three Decades of Performance: Replacing a Legacy Fan Wheel for a Long-Time Customer
Industry
Commercial Heat Treating
Challenge
After nearly 30 years of service, an IGE custom-engineered double-width, double-inlet fan wheel in a high-temperature metal heat treating furnace required replacement as part of a major furnace refurbishment. The customer needed a solution that would replicate the proven performance and durability of the original unit, while integrating seamlessly into their legacy equipment and supporting ongoing operational demands in a demanding industrial environment.
Results
IGE Fans delivered a direct replacement fan wheel featuring a 12-foot shaft, engineered to meet the rigorous application requirements and maintain the legacy of long-term reliability. The refurbished furnace was restored to full operational capability, demonstrating the durability and service life of IGE Fans' products and reinforcing the company's commitment to supporting legacy equipment and enduring customer relationships.
Key Product

After sales support and IGE’s coordination of that support with us has been exemplary. If an end user needs a replacement fan unit for a furnace we installed 20 years ago, IGE is ready to manufacture a direct replacement with design improvements from the last 20 years integrated.
