High Pressure Centrifugal Fans
Industrial High Pressure Fan Systems Australia
Industrial Fan Systems’ High Pressure Centrifugal Fans (IFS-HP Series) are purpose-built for applications requiring very high static pressure, stable operation, and rugged industrial reliability.
Designed and manufactured for harsh Australian industrial environments, the IFS-HP range is widely used in:
Pneumatic conveying systems
Fluidised beds
Combustion air supply
Scrubber and filtration systems
High velocity process air systems
Unlike standard centrifugal fans, high pressure fans are engineered with radial, backward inclined or backward curved impellers optimised for steep pressure curves and high tip speeds.
High Pressure Centrifugal Fans Engineered for Demanding Industrial Applications
What Is a High Pressure Centrifugal Fan?
A high pressure centrifugal fan is designed to overcome high system resistance such as long duct runs, multiple bends, dense filters, cyclones, or process equipment.
Where conventional ventilation fans fail, high pressure fans deliver:
Very high static pressure
Stable airflow under fluctuating loads
Reliable operation in demanding industrial processes
Industrial Fan Systems high pressure fans are available in SWSI (Single Width Single Inlet) and 2-Stage configurations, enabling pressure levels up to 38,000 Pa.
Why Choose IFS High Pressure Fans?
Key Advantages
Very High Static Pressure Capability: Up to 38 kPa for severe industrial duties
Steep Performance Curves: Strong pressure response under load.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed for continuous industrial operation.
Custom Engineered: Matched to your exact duty point.
Long Service Life: Built for abrasive, high-temperature and high-load environments.
These features make IFS-HP fans ideal for systems where reliability, uptime, and pressure performance are critical.

Impeller Types Available
Industrial Fan Systems supplies high pressure fans with multiple impeller designs to suit application requirements:
Radial Bladed – For high pressure, dusty or particulate-laden air
Backward Inclined – Higher efficiency for cleaner air streams
Backward Curved – Lower noise and improved efficiency where conditions permit
Each design is selected based on pressure requirement, particulate loading, efficiency targets, and acoustic constraints.
High Pressure Fans vs Centrifugal Fans
High pressure fans are selected when pressure, not just airflow, is the controlling design factor.
SWSI Configurations
Our high pressure fans are available in the below configuration to suit airflow and pressure needs.
SWSI (Single Width Single Inlet)
Best suited for moderate
airflow requirements,
compact installations, and
higher pressure applications
where space is limited.
Industrial Fan Systems provides engineering support to select the optimal configuration for your system.
