Grain Dryer - Centrifugal fan

Centrifugal fan motors are designed to push air through high-pressure systems, including filters and ducts. They are ideal for applications like grain dryers and other environments that require controlled, consistent airflow.

Power Through Resistance. Built for Demanding Farm Applications.

Engineered for performance in the most rugged environments, the Baldor-Reliance Farm Duty Centrifugal Fan Motor is your reliable choice for systems that demand high static pressure. Ideal for grain dryers, ducted ventilation, and other airflow-restricted agricultural setups, this motor is built to move air where it’s needed most — even when the path is anything but clear.
