Radial blower wheels and paddle wheels built to order: any diameter, width, blade count and bore, open or with a back plate, CW or CCW, in steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Matched to your old wheel, photos or drawing and dynamically balanced in our Long Island City, New York factory, as we have done since 1948. Call or Email for Quote.

Radial wheels and blowers we build

• Duplicate a paddle wheelNo part number? Send photos or the old wheel and we build an exact match.
• Repair and rebalancingRebalancing, new shafts and bearings, and rebuilds of radial blowers in our factory.

Radial vs other wheel types

A radial wheel does not have the efficiency of a backward curved wheel or the quiet airflow of a forward curve wheel, but it is strong, simple and hard to clog, so it suits high pressure and material handling. See forward curve vs backward inclined vs radial for a side by side comparison.

What to send for a quote

• Outside diameter and blade width
• Number of blades
• Bore and keyway, and the hub location
• Rotation (how to tell)
• Material, and what the blower moves

Or just send photos of the wheel next to a tape measure, or ship us the old wheel.

Materials

• Steel: strong and economical for dust and material handling.
• Stainless Steel: for moisture, food plants and corrosive fumes.
• Aluminum: light and rust free.

Questions

What is a radial blower wheel?

A centrifugal wheel with flat blades that point straight out from the hub, like the spokes of a wheel. It is also called a paddle wheel, radial blade wheel or radial fan wheel.

What are radial blower wheels used for?

Dusty or dirty air and material handling: dust collection, sawdust and chips, welding fume, mill exhausters and process exhaust. The flat blades shed buildup that would clog a forward curve wheel.

Radial or backward curved?

A radial wheel is the rugged choice for dirty air. A backward curved wheel is more efficient and quieter for clean air. If you are replacing a wheel, match the type you have.

Can you copy my old paddle wheel?

Yes. Send the old wheel, or photos with the diameter, width, blade count and bore, and we build an exact match in steel, stainless steel or aluminum.
