Built in the USA. Backed on three continents.
We engineer fans to order for USA plants that move hazardous, hot, errosive or corrosive gas. We have built fans since 1965. Today we build them in Syracuse, with our plants in the UK and China behind every job.
Temperature range
Built to
API 673, 560, ATEX and IECEx
Made in the USA
Your FAN:gineers in the USA
Halifax Fan USA has built fans for American plants since 2014. Our Syracuse factory designs, builds and tests fans for power, environmental, food and process plants. Our sales team is based here too. Our field support team is local as well, so help is close when a fan needs attention.
In 2026 we opened a new factory building in Syracuse, inside one of the old Cold War SAGE command centers. The first fans left the new shop floor in June 2026. Behind it sit our plants in the UK and China, so every USA project gets the whole group’s experience.
Tested in our own plants
We test our fans in our own factories before they ship. That means run tests, performance tests to ISO 5801, noise tests and dynamic balancing, and you are welcome to witness them. Fans for hazardous areas also pass a 115% overspeed test. Gas tight fans are tested for leaks and pressure. All our sites hold ISO 9001:2015 for design, manufacture and service, and our factories in China hold IECEx and CCCEx. We do the testing and certification ourselves, so there are fewer handoffs and your lead time is shorter.
Built to the codes your plant runs on
We build to the standard your spec calls for. These are the ones we work to most:
- Process and refinery: API 673 and API 560
- Hazardous areas: ATEX, IECEx and CCCEx
- Welding: ISO 9606 welder qualification and EN ISO 5817 quality level B
- Management systems: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
- Nuclear and marine: UK nuclear industry fan specifications, and Lloyd’s above and below deck
We are members of the Fan Manufacturers’ Association in the UK. It keeps us current on the standards and laws that apply to fans worldwide.
Over 60 years of hazardous duty
We have built fans since 1965, and we helped create the ATEX fan directive. We build to API 673, ATEX and nuclear codes, with gas tight cases and materials like stainless, duplex, nickel alloys and titanium. Where the gas must stay in, we fit purged carbon ring seals. Some fans cost less on day one. Ours are built to keep running, and we back them for life with on site service, spares and refurbishment. A fan that does not fail costs less than a cheap one that does.
Industries we serve
- Boiler and biomass: draft fans for temperatures up to about 1,290 °F and abrasive fuels like wood pellets.
- Food processing: stainless exhaust fans for fryer and oven makers, including designs that keep the motor out of the fumes.
- Air pollution control: fans for scrubbers, RTOs and thermal oxidizers, including 600 HP units built in Syracuse.
- Thermal process: high temperature fans for dryer and oven makers.
- Power generation: SCR fans for turbine plants, like the custom fans running trouble free at a New Jersey turbine plant.
Built in three continents. One standard.
Our Syracuse factory works alongside our plant in the UK and our two plants in China. Every site works to the same design standards and the same ISO 9001:2015 quality system. So a fan from Syracuse follows the same design rules and quality checks as one from the UK or China. You get one standard, whichever plant builds your fan. Our experience in many markets also helps customers reduce the impact of tariffs and trade barriers.
We stay with the fan after it ships
Our service engineers hold VCAT II vibration analysis certification from the Mobius Institute. They collect vibration data on site and upload it to the cloud, so our specialists in the USA, UK and Asia can read the reports from anywhere. We find problems earlier. You get less downtime and lower maintenance costs.
Bearings can be fitted with temperature and vibration sensors from the factory, so your team sees trouble coming too.
Our work in the USA
First fans from Syracuse
Two stainless bifurcated fans that pull fryer fumes for a USA food OEM and keep the motor out of the airstream.
The Lamborghini of fans
A custom SCR fan for a New Jersey turbine plant. It fixed heat soak through the case and pedestal, and repeated bearing failures. We designed it to be as close to plug and play as possible, and it has run trouble free since.
Cleaner air across the USA
A 600 HP fan built in Syracuse, one of several for a large scrubbing system on a regenerative thermal oxidizer. The customer chose us for fan efficiency, build quality and local field support.
Stainless beauties
USA built 316L center line mounted fans for over 900 °F. Special design features limit heat reaching the bearings, which carry temperature and vibration sensors. Our mono block bearing design gives longer life and better efficiency.
ATEX Zone 1 fans for the USA
Stainless Zone 1 fans with a gas tight case tested to about 160 psi and an 8 hour run test before shipping.
Hot gas fan for Indianapolis
A 36 in., 60 HP ID fan for a 750 °F ceramic filter system, treated to bring noise down to 70 dBA at the plant boundary.
Fan Constructor™: quicker quotes, safer fans
Fan Constructor™ is our own design tool. It checks ATEX zones, temperature class and bearing limits for us, and it will not pass a design that does not comply. On our Arrangement 4 and 8 models it has cut design time by around 68%, so we can turn around quotes and 3D designs faster.
Built by FAN:gineers for fan manufacturers
Fewer errors and better margins: how Fan Constructor™ changed our year.
Custom fans, instantly
Our software and automation tool that changes how we design and deliver custom fans.
Automation that drives efficiency
Accurate quotes and 3D designs in minutes, with speed and precision on every project.
