IGE offers a range of axial, forward curved, and backward inclined fan designs that are suitable for normalizing processes of various scales and configurations. IGE offers innovative shaft sealing methods that ensure process stability, energy efficiency, and improved safety and offers both air-cooled and water-cooled designs.
Paired with IGE’s high-quality fabrication, 3-step precision balancing process, our fan units can more than double the usable service life compared to common competitor equipment and significantly reduce operating costs and maintenance work.
Extend the service life of your equipment, improve process control, and reduce costs.
Normalizing is a heat-treating process typically used in the production of carbon steels to completely dissolve the carbon and improve ductility and toughness. The process involves heating the metal to a specific transformation temperature, holding it there for a specific period of time, then air cooling in a controlled manner to yield the desired microstructure. This process can be used instead of conventional hardening when liquid quenching might result in cracking, distortion, or other dimensional issues. Other metals, including aluminum, brass, and copper, can also be normalized. Normalization is most common in industrial machinery, automotive, and aerospace settings.
Given high temperatures, typically 1320-1800°F (750-980°C), the common use of controlled nitrogen atmosphere, and the need to cool the load in a controlled manner to deliver the right material properties, high-quality, well-engineered atmosphere-moving equipment is critical. At best, incorrect or lower quality equipment will lead to inconsistent process conditions, low energy efficiency, and elevated maintenance costs. At worst, such equipment can create real safety issues for your team and generate excessive quality waste & asset downtime.
