“5S” Shadow Board for Halifax Fan Engineers & Apprentices
We like to use the best tools for the job, and take advantage of the 5S principles.

We like to use the best tools for the job, and take advantage of the 5S principles.
Depending on the role of the fan they were either constructed in stainless 304L or mild steel.
As energy efficiency is such an area of focus in China and many industries having specific targets. We can offer high efficiency fans to help our customers achieve their environmental aims.
In China, there is growing emphasis on lifetime costs for fans, rather than just initial cost. Coupled with greater awareness of better system design to ensure high efficiency operation of the complete machine, these fans are also driven by variable speed drives in a closed loop operation.
This week, our China Shanghai sales team went to Nanjing for a petrochemical exhibition. It was a great opportunity to showcase our ability to supply fans certified to CCCex (China hazardous area) as well as ATEX.
We held a food donation event at work on coronation day, raising support for the focus4hope charity, this charity does an amazing job in our local West Yorkshire area to help vulnerable people.
The overall explosion-proof design of the fan is in accordance with ATEX and CCCex design and standards. These gas tight fans have been designed and tested for an internal pressure of 10bar.
As part of a select group of 30 companies, Halifax Fan is taking part in the Fit For Hydrogen programme managed by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre based at the University of Sheffield. This programme is part of the Zero Carbon Humber Partnership, whichaims to decarbonise the industrial clutter around the Humber and help UK manufacturers win work in emerging low-carbon sectors including hydrogen fuels and carbon capture.
We are particularly pleased with this fan, as we rarely receive good pictures of them after they have left our facility.
The new facility has also allowed us to expand our manufacturing space in our Brighouse factory, allowing us to focus on production of fans.
