Industrial fan and blower configurator software

Model the real air duty. Quote the complete fan package.

Configurix connects airflow, static or total pressure, temperature, elevation, gas properties, fan curves, operating ranges, impellers, arrangements, motors, drives, materials, sound, vibration, controls, accessories, account pricing, quotations, performance schedules, CAD, BIM and reviewed project data in one guided workflow for fan manufacturers, distributors and application engineers.

Connected fan project

One project connects duty, curve, fan, motor, drive, accessory, price, document and review.

Fan configuration software defined

A fan configurator connects the real duty point, tested product data and commercial workflow.

A connected industrial-fan configurator begins with the actual manufacturer catalogue and the air or gas data required for a responsible selection. Application, airflow, pressure definition, actual or standard basis, gas composition, density, temperature, elevation, humidity, contaminants, inlet and outlet conditions, operating range, units and source status remain attached to one governed project.

Fan series, sizes, impellers, housings, classes, arrangements, rotations, discharge positions, shafts, bearings, motors, drives, VFDs, bases, isolators, guards, dampers, screens, silencers, coatings, sensors, controls and services use revisioned product data. Changing density, pressure or speed updates the same curve point, candidate set, warnings and price.

The same governed model can power a public selector, distributor portal, contractor tool, consultant workspace and application-engineering workflow. Each channel receives the correct product ranges, territories, account prices, schedules, documents and actions while one selection identity and revision history continue across teams.

A selected operating point is not final duct-system design, system-effect analysis, acoustic study, vibration design, structural support, electrical design, hazardous-area assessment, machinery risk assessment, fire or smoke approval, site-performance guarantee or commissioning acceptance. Configurix preserves source data, assumptions and reviews while qualified parties remain responsible for the actual system.

Fan workflow planner

Choose the fan scope, sales channel and required output.

The result shows which duty, performance, product, commercial and review data should remain connected. It is a planning aid, not final fan-system engineering.

Recommended governed workflow

Fan duty selection with curve, density and system-effect review

Capture airflow cases, pressure definition, density basis, altitude, temperature, humidity, gas composition, contaminants, inlet and outlet conditions, operating range, turndown, sound limits, vibration basis and future margin. Preserve certified data and conversion assumptions without presenting the selected curve point as guaranteed installed-system performance.

Connected record

Flow cases · pressure basis · density · gas · temperature · elevation · system curve · fan curve · power · sound · FEI · reviews

Standard, actual, measured, calculated and customer-supplied values remain distinguishable.

Fan curve, system curve, operating range, motor power, speed, efficiency and sound are evaluated together.

Duct geometry, system effects, structure, acoustics, safety and site conditions receive specialist review.

Final performance, duct, structural, electrical, acoustic, hazardous-area, safety and site decisions remain subject to the manufacturer's accepted engineering process.

Configure the fan decisions that drive performance, operating range, documentation and price.

The implementation follows actual fan ranges, certified or manufacturer performance data, accessory rules, commercial models and receiving systems—not a generic airflow calculator placed over a catalogue.

Application and duty model

Capture enough air-system context to create a defensible fan shortlist.

  • Application, airflow cases, pressure definition, standard or actual basis and margin
  • Gas, density, temperature, elevation, humidity, contaminants and environment
  • Inlet, outlet, installation arrangement, operating range and source status

Curves and performance

Guide users with traceable manufacturer performance data.

  • Fan and system curves, duty point, speed, efficiency, power and operating limits
  • Density, speed and size conversion within accepted similarity and test boundaries
  • FEI, sound, vibration, unstable-region, overload and system-effect visibility

Fan construction and drive

Build the complete saleable fan package around the selected duty.

  • Series, size, impeller, housing, class, arrangement, rotation and discharge
  • Motor, direct, belt or coupling drive, VFD, bearings, base, isolation and guards
  • Materials, coatings, wear protection, dampers, screens, silencers and sensors

Arrays and control systems

Keep multiple fans connected while system approval remains explicit.

  • Fan count, modules, partitions, redundancy, staging and backdraft control
  • Minimum and maximum flow, partial-array duty, VFD strategy and failure states
  • Electrical distribution, networks, controls, monitoring and commissioning scope

Distributor and project pricing

Continue the selected fan package into the correct commercial model.

  • List, distributor, project, framework, discount, margin and currency rules
  • Fan, drive, material, accessories, tests, freight, installation and service
  • Stock context, alternatives, quotations, revisions, deposits and approvals

Documents and order handoff

Preserve accepted identity while system engineering remains explicit.

  • Duty, curve, fan, option, price, document and approval revisions
  • Performance schedule, curve sheet, specification, CAD, BIM, BOM or order data
  • PIM, CRM, CAD, BIM, PLM, ERP, project, API, file and webhook connections

One connected process

From airflow requirement to a reviewed fan project.

The customer, distributor, contractor, consultant, application engineer, manufacturer and site team can continue the same project while each role owns the decisions it is qualified to make.

Define the duty

Start with flow, pressure, gas, temperature and operating range

Capture performance cases, source data, installation conditions, sound objectives and open questions.

Select and configure

Compare fan curves and complete equipment packages

Choose manufacturer products while performance, motor, drive, material, sound and accessory data stay connected.

Create the quotation

Calculate every fan, drive, accessory, test and service

Apply the correct account, freight, installation, commissioning, service, terms and revisioned offer.

Review and release

Verify the system scope and accepted identities

Record duct, system-effect, electrical, structure, acoustic, safety and site decisions before data moves downstream.

An airflow calculator estimates CFM. A connected configurator runs the fan decision.

Use this comparison to separate an early ventilation estimate from software that governs duty points, curves, product packages, account prices, schedules, quotations and reviewed handoff.

Fan selection and performance references

Separate guided selection, commercial configuration and final fan-system approval.

These primary sources define relevant selection, aerodynamic testing, performance conversion, system-effect, efficiency, vibration, safety and as-configured CAD/BIM boundaries. They do not certify a Configurix implementation or replace the duct, acoustic, structural, electrical, hazardous-area, safety, fire, smoke and site requirements for the actual fan system.
