The refined technology of today's grid blower motors combines proven reliability with superior performance. Dayton-Phoenix offers new motors ranging from 18 HP to 100 HP. We can also service older blower motor/fan assemblies.

Since we build all sub-assemblies ourselves and closely control the quality of every component, all our commutators are custom built to your particular motor's specifications. Every motor is built in-house by hand because of their complexity and the need to meet close dimensional tolerances.

All motors incorporate a heavy rolled steel frame that is custom fabricated, ground and polished to provide excellent structural integrity. Because of the high stress and temperatures of their operating environment, Class H insulation materials are used and the frame and coil are varnish-dipped and baked as a unit for increased structural rigidity. Zinc-plated hardware is used to eliminate corrosion.

Dayton-Phoenix grid blower fans are dynamically balanced to provide high speed performance that is smooth and virtually vibration-free. The unit's rugged tenon offers a positive mounting surface to assist proper piloting to reduce vibration and wear. All motors are performance tested under load and undergo vibration analysis prior to shipping.
