### Q: What materials are used in your combustion air blowers for basic metal manufacturing?
**A**: Our combustion air blowers are constructed from durable materials including cast iron for the housing/casing, stainless steel for critical components like the impeller and flanges, and aluminum alloy for lightweight yet robust parts, ensuring longevity in demanding industrial environments.

### Q: How do I determine the right air flow rate and static pressure for my metal manufacturing application?
**A**: The required air flow rate (m³/h) and static pressure (Pa) depend on your specific burner requirements, furnace size, and fuel type. Our technical team can help you select the optimal blower based on your system's combustion air demand and pressure drop calculations.

### Q: What maintenance is required for combustion air blowers in basic metal manufacturing facilities?
**A**: Regular maintenance includes inspecting and cleaning the impeller for debris buildup, checking motor bearings and lubrication, verifying inlet and outlet flange seals, and monitoring vibration levels. We recommend quarterly inspections in high-temperature metal manufacturing environments.
