VF Fan Conversion Assembly
Update your fixed bearing or water-based fan with a vibration dampening air-cooled design.
The VF Fan with dual bearing set enables maintenance to be scheduled around your production schedule. Air cooling removes water contamination issues, and the bung mount design reduces maintenance time.
