Fan Testing and Development

FAT (Factory Acceptance Test)

All BarkerBille fans are thoroughly tested as part of the production process before shipping. They are supplied with a signed FAT certificate and detailed documentation which is your guarantee for a product that meet our high standards.

An essential part of the production process is the balancing of the fan impeller. This is carried out dynamically, immediately after the production of the fan, using BarkerBille’s advanced alignment equipment. Before the fan is dispatched, it is controlled once more by performing the FAT.

A Factory Acceptance Test includes the following:

• startup of the fan and a 15 minutes test-run
• visual inspection to ensure that there are no loose parts or abnormal noises, heat or smells
• vibration measurement and logging
• if necessary further balancing of the fan to ensure that the fan is running at optimum level
• signing of a test certificate

Performance Test

If requested by the customer, the fans, besides going through the obligatory Factory Acceptance Test, can be subjected to a Performance Test to measure and guarantee airflow, pressure and kW of the fan. As shown in the pictures above, we use our own test facilities designed according to applicable standards. We are able to test all types of fans – from very small to the largest centrifugal fans.

The performances will be always be calculated according to applicable standards and meet the highest level of precision. For all performance tests, a detailed report will be created for the customer.

Continuous Fan Development

Our goal is to manufacture and deliver fans which not only meet the strictest requirements of the market but also give you the right solution – every time.

Our team of qualified engineers and technicians are responsible for testing and developing our fans continuously. Therefore, we can always deliver fans that combine the latest technology with a sturdy and reliable construction as well as highest level of safety and efficiency.
