Centrifugal Fan Replacement – Manchester

 150 150 Northern Fan Services

Centrifugal fan replacement in busy Manchester bakery.

  • Brambles Bakery, Manchester
  • New centrifugal fan in place

This busy Manchester bakery contacted us as their existing fan was no longer worked sufficiently. Due to its age, a replacement was recommended. As the existing fan was no longer in production, we sourced and installed a compatible replacement with new speed controller.

Common signs your commercial extractor fan may need replacing:

  • Reduced extraction/suction.
  • Sudden change in noise/ fan operating noisier than usual.
  • Fan not starting up straight away or cutting out during service.
  • If your existing fan is 10+ years old.

To help prolong the life-length of your commercial extractor fan, keep up to date with an annual fan service and clean. At the appointment our engineers will:

  • Check electrical condition of motor
  • Test capacitor and replace if necessary
  • Replace bearings
  • Complete RPM check
  • Test speed controller and check compatibility
  • Remove and clean fan before re-fitting

Following the service and clean, you will be issued with a cleaning certificate which many insurance companies request as mandatory for your business insurance policy.

Next Day Emergency Fan Replacement

Our team recently carried out this next day emergency fan replacement. This 560mm diameter Flakt Woods extractor fan was installed within a day of the initial breakdown at Double Tree Hilton, York. The original fan had gone down and it was determined that a replacement was necessary. Our team got the call late afternoon and engineers were on site to install the following morning.

This busy pub/restaurant just outside of Wetherby, West Yorkshire gave us a call as their commercial flakt woods extractor fan had become very noisy and wasn’t operating to its full potential. As the existing fan was old, the best option was a replacement fan. The extractor fan was fitted externally, so, we came out to complete a site survey.

With older fans, it is always best to keep on top of regular servicing to prolong the life of the fan as much as possible. As soon as any issues such as slower start ups and unusual noises start to occur, its best to get ahead of the problem. A repair is sometimes possible. Our team can help with this.
