IGE Repair & Rebuild Services FAQ

Does IGE offer any kind of warranty on repair & rebuild work?

Yes. IGE offers an unheard-of 2-year warranty on repairs and rebuilds. This warranty also extends to rebuilds of non-IGE equipment, assuming design changes to bring the equipment up to our standards are agreed to. 

What types of equipment will IGE repair?

IGE repairs fans of any configuration (e.g., radial, axial, double-outlet scroll, etc.) and also repairs direct drive sealed motors. Whether it’s a 66” diameter, 12,000lb aluminum homogenizer axial fan from Robinson Fans or a 7” diameter forward curved fan from Garden City Fan Company used for electronics R&D, IGE FANS has you covered.

What brands of equipment will IGE repair?

IGE will repair fans and direct drive sealed motors from any manufacturer. IGE is able to offer its 2-year warranty on rebuilds of units from other manufacturers because the IGE engineering team will propose design upgrades to bring the equipment up to IGE’s standards. 

Why should I use IGE for repair and rebuild services?

IGE has been engineering, manufacturing, and rebuilding high temperature fans since 1924 and direct drive sealed motors since 1955 under the Kaybee Engineering brand name. IGE’s engineering team has a deep understanding of process applications and leverages experience from over 100,000 installations worldwide.

You’re getting an OEM-quality, rebuilt unit backed by an unheard-of 2-year warranty. IGE’s high quality standards are supported by unmatched static & dynamic balancing capabilities that ensure your equipment has a maximized service life and minimized total cost of ownership (TCO).

Will IGE suggest design changes in the rebuild process to improve performance or reliability?

Absolutely. IGE’s application engineering team will work with you to assess the unit’s historical service life and identify failure modes to enable design changes to improve performance. Every unit benefits from IGE’s continuing advancements in design backed by experience from over 100,000 and counting installations worldwide. 

Can IGE reverse engineer a heavily damaged, very old fan unit?

Yes. IGE has extensive experience reverse engineering heavily damaged fan equipment that is often over 50 years old. IGE can engineer rebuild parts and direct fit complete replacements that have improved performance and energy efficiency. 

What is IGE’s typical turnaround time?

IGE operates on a standard 6-week lead time but can support both tight turnarounds during planned equipment downtimes and emergency service (turnarounds in days instead of weeks).  

What service life should I expect from equipment rebuilt by IGE?

IGE rebuilds are warrantied for 2 years but often see service lives exceeding 5 or even 10 years before another major rebuild is required. If you aren’t getting 2 years of service life from units you are rebuilding internally or with another vendor, contact IGE to improve service life, reduce cost, and eliminate unplanned downtime. 

Am I obligated to buy from IGE if I send a unit in?

No, there is no obligation to move forward with a repair or replacement. Equipment can be returned or scrapped upon request. 

Why do I need to send a unit in? Does IGE do field repairs?

The IGE team will complete field visits to assess equipment, but all repairs are completed at IGE’s Westmont, IL facility to deliver the highest quality service. Repairs & rebuilds are static and dynamic balanced on IGE’s high precision balancing equipment, yielding the same quality balance that a brand-new IGE unit offers. Repairs, bearing alignments, and balancing cannot reach the same level of quality or precision in the field as they can in our manufacturing facility.
