Fan Manufacturing Plant

Today is my second day of Industrial Training and today we will visit the fan manufacturing plant.
A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan, usually electrically powered, suspended from the ceiling of a room, that uses hub-mounted rotating paddles to circulate air.
The key components of the ceiling fan are:
An electric motor , metal blades, metal arms, called blade irons,which hold the blades and connect them to the motor, flywheel, a metal or tough rubber double-torus which is attached to the motor shaft, and to which the blade irons may be attached. The flywheel inner ring is locked to the shaft by a lock-screw, and the blade irons to the outer ring by bolts that feed into tapped metal inserts, rotor, alternative to blade irons,
A mechanism for mounting the fan to the ceiling such as, ball-and-socket system or J-hook (Claw hook) system , decorative lights hanging on fan.
Fan is operated with a variable-speed control.This is mounted on wall, digital control or wireless remote control
The manufacturing components we observed are:
  • Lathe machine 
  • Drill machine 
  • Air compressor & gun for painting
  • Oven for baking paint 
  • Automatic winding machine 
  • Automatic coil winding machine
  • Automatic paper insertion machine
  • Coil & wedge inserting machine
  • Coil shaping machine
  • Lacing machine
  • Automatic progressive die Stamping power press
  • High pressure die casting machine
After the fan is assembled it undergoes rigorous testing.
The component for testing  fan were:
  • Watt meter (manual)
  • RPM meter
  • Test chamber to check the air delivery 
        As we left the premises of the plant I took a last glimpse of the plant...the magic was fading... I will never forget how cool and airy life becomes with machines... indeed I have become a great fan of the manufacturing process...
