Wheel
Heavy cast aluminum, straight radial blade design that self-cleans during use, maintaining its balance and assuring efficient airflow even in particulate-heavy conditions.

• Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum.
• Dynamically Factory Balanced.
• Self-Cleaning Design.
• High Efficiency.

Housing
All fan housings can be fully rotated to reposition the discharge at any of eight pre-drilled 45° intervals, allowing for a wide range of installation and ducting configurations.

• 45° Rotation Intervals.
• Factory or Field Repositioning.
• Housing Rotation Does Not Require Rebalancing.

Rotation
Standard clockwise wheel rotation, bottom horizontal discharge position. Other rotations and discharge orientations can be supplied upon request.

• ​​Clockwise Wheel Rotation Standard.
• Optional Counter-Clockwise Wheel Rotation.

Frame
Indoor/outdoor, open-member steel frames keep motors, drivetrains, and wheels in alignment longer than formed sheet frames, resulting in longer maintenance intervals.

• Fully-Welded Steel Frame.
• Easy Maintenance Access.
• Fewer Alignment Adjustments Needed.

Drive System
Direct drive, open ball bearing motors are fixed-mounted onto a welded base frame. No belt tensioning or bearing adjustments are necessary.

• Factory-Set RPM Available.

Peerless' Radial Blower KE series is available in Arrangement 4 SWSI.

Arrangement 4 SWSI
AMCA Arrangement 4 SWSI utilizes a direct-drive motor mounted onto a base frame, attached to the fan housing. The fan impeller is overhung on the motor shaft and does not need separate bearings.
