A global industrial fan manufacturer 

Founded in Monza (Italy), CBI Group initially operated in the electromechanical sector before progressively specializing on industrial ventilation. Over the decades, this focus has made CBI a reference among industrial fan manufacturers, especially for projects where performance, durability and certification are critical.

Today, CBI operates through multiple production and service facilities in Europe and Asia. All sites work under the same certified quality system (ISO 9001 and ISO 14001), ensuring consistent engineering standards, manufacturing quality, and full traceability across all products and projects.

More than performance data: why choose CBI

Choosing an industrial fan manufacturer is not only about performance curves. It is about long-term reliability and the ability to support the fan throughout its entire lifecycle.

CBI fans are designed for continuous operation and long service life. Many units installed in the 1980s are still running today, thanks to robust construction and precise engineering. 

What differentiates CBI is a combination of:

• automated design systems, enabling fast and error-free customization;

• in-house CFD and FEM analysis for performance and structural validation;

• full lifecycle services with global on-site support: installation, commissioning, maintenance, revamping and spare parts - including assistance for fans not originally manufactured by CBI.

Industrial centrifugal fan 

As an experienced industrial centrifugal fan manufacturer, CBI designs and produces centrifugal fans for industrial processes involving clean air, dusty flows, aggressive gases, acidic fluids, corrosive environments and high temperatures.

Each centrifugal fan is created by selecting the most suitable impeller geometry and the correct construction execution based on the conveyed fluid and operating conditions.

Typically available executions include:

• Stainless Steel AISI

• ATEX-compliant design (on request)

• Polypropylene execution

• Gastight execution

• Insulated execution

Industrial axial fans

We also operate as a specialized industrial axial fans manufacturer, developing axial solutions for applications requiring high airflow at low or medium pressure. 

Industrial axial fans are typically used for:​

• large industrial buildings, with airflow rates up to 830,000 m³/h

• tunnels and infrastructure, for ventilation and emergency smoke extraction

• industrial processes, with temperatures up to 180°C in specific configurations

Certified executions are available for safety-critical environments, including tunnel ventilation systems designed to operate under extreme fire conditions.

Large industrial fan manufacturers: handling size and complexity

CBI is recognized among large industrial fan manufacturers for its capability to build fans with very large dimensions and high structural loads.

Our manufacturing limits include: 

• centrifugal fans with impeller diameters up to 2,450 mm 

• axial fans with diameters up to 2,240 mm

• jet fans for tunnels with thrust levels up to 3,000 N.

These large-scale industrial fans are developed using advanced CFD and FEM analyses to ensure structural integrity, performance stability, vibration control and long-term reliability, even in extreme operating conditions.

Custom solutions: tailor-made industrial fans

Many industrial processes require solutions beyond standard catalog products. For this reason, CBI operates as a custom fan manufacturer, developing tailor-made industrial fans designed around specific plant constraints and process requirements.

The custom approach includes: detailed technical analysis and dimensional surveys, performance optimization and revamping solutions, seamless integration with existing systems.
