Manufacturing facilities require a large amount of ventilation to maintain a healthy work environment for the people working within the buildings. Buffalo Blower designs and builds fans to control and handle the exhaust, supply, and make-up air requirements for all types of manufacturing environments and spaces. The exhaust of welding and other noxious fumes and dusts, as well as the exhaust of hot air produced from ovens and other high temperature processes, are essential to providing safe and comfortable working conditions. In many cases, the building heating, cooling, and air conditioning (HVAC) requirements are also critical for proper production control and working conditions. A wide variety of businesses, industries, medical facilities, and institutions require ultra clean environments for research and development as well as production of specialty products and equipment. These facilities demand high filtration and positive pressures inside the clean room space to control the process and limit potential contamination. Other requirements typically include variable air volume, high efficient air moving equipment, low noise, and ultra-low vibration levels from the mechanical equipment.

Among many other changes, the green revolution has created a greater need for more energy efficient fans and ventilation equipment. As a leader in the fan industry, Buffalo Blower engineers and manufactures high efficient products for a wide variety of green friendly applications including LEED building designs, biofuel and biomass production plants, landfills, solar film manufacturing facilities, as well as numerous waste energy and heat recovery systems. Regardless of how unique or specialized your process is, Buffalo Blower can customize our products to meet virtually any requirement.

Buffalo Blower is well known for leveraging its design and manufacturing capabilities when constructing the heavy duty fans required for marine applications. Such marine duty fans are used for many purposes including boiler combustion air, mechanical ventilation, off shore rig diesel generator exhaust disbursement, pressurization, engine cooling, and dust control. Our air moving equipment can be found on drilling rigs, production platforms, tug boats, cruise ships, ferries, and cargo ships. We offer a number of features to meet the specific needs of the marine industry. These include shortened axial fan housings for operating in tight spaces, cast aluminum impellers and hot dip galvanized steel components for extended durability, spark resistant construction for potentially explosive air streams, water tight electrical connections to withstand corrosive environments, and IEEE 45 marine duty motors for both above deck and below deck installations.

In addition to our extensive fan design and manufacturing experience, Buffalo Blower offer a number of products meeting requirements of the marine industry’s governing and standard organizations including:

• Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) – Spark Resistant Construction
• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) – Type Approval for Ventilation and Non-Sparking services
