BLOWER W/FAN BLADE

A blade is the portion of a tool or machine with an edge that is designed to puncture, chop, slice or scrape surfaces or materials. Blades are typically made from materials that are harder than those they are to be used on.  A blade may also refer to a fan blade such as that used in the movement of air or a gas.

Blowers are used in restaurant equipment to diffuse heat, aid in convection, and circulate cold air. A blower is a centrifugal fan. It is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases. Blowers often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a "blower fan", or "squirrel-cage fan" (because it looks like a hamster wheel). These fans increase the speed and volume of an air stream through rotating impellers.

Fans are used in restaurant equipment for a variety of purposes, including ventilation, cooling, and air circulation. In kitchen equipment, fans are used to ventilate cooking areas, remove smoke and odors, and maintain a consistent temperature. Fans are also used in refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerators and freezers, to circulate air and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the appliance.

There are several types of fans that can be used in restaurant equipment, including axial fans, centrifugal fans, and blowers. Axial fans are used to move air in a linear direction, and are commonly used in ventilation systems and cooling equipment. Centrifugal fans are used to move air in a circular direction, and are often used in refrigeration equipment and air conditioning systems. Blowers are used to move air at high pressures and are commonly used in ovens and other cooking equipment to provide the force needed to circulate hot air.

Fans are an important component of many types of restaurant equipment, and are used to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the equipment, as well as the quality and safety of the food being prepared.
