Tuf-Lite - Model II & III - Fans
From Tuf-Lite- Fans
Tuf-Lite II was created in 1984 and Tuf-Lite III in 2004. Both blade families are manufactured in Texas. Tuf-Lite II and Tuf-Lite III have their own air-foil designs which provide different performance characteristics. Contact our engineers to determine the best option for your needs. Tuf-Lite II is a two piece fan blade and Tuf-Lite III is a one piece fan blade. Both types are constructed of vinyl ester resin developed specifically for Hudson. Both incorporate Hudson’s patent Tuf-Edge leading edge protection and stainless steel and neoprene leading edge protections are available upon request. Both include exterior UV protective coatings. Tuf-Lite II is available from 6’ to 40’ in diameter. Tuf-Lite III is available from 11’ to 10 meter in diameter. 6’-10’ diameters will be available in the Fall of 2016.

Performance Design
Tuf-Lite® is designed to maximize the strength to weight ratio, and also provide maximum corrosion resistance. Tuf-Lite® is designed with an aerodynamic twist and taper which provides even air flow distribution along the blade span, provides even horsepower loading, energy efficiency, and a smoother fan operation which minimizes vibration. From a performance standpoint, due to the twist and taper, Tuf-Lite® represent some of the most efficient and highest performing fans in the world.
AdvantagesAir-Cooled Heat Exchangers:
- Tuf-Lite® can improve the thermal duty performance of your air-cooled heat exchanger by providing 15%-60% more airflow and better reliability. Hudson can outperform any air-cooled heat exchanger fan in the World.
- Tuf-Lite® can reduce your overall air-cooled heat exchanger operating costs by delivering the necessary air flow performance for your thermal duty needs at a reduction in horsepower.
- Tuf-Lite® is specified by the most demanding refining, petrochemical, and power generation operators in the World.
Cooling Tower Fans:
- Tuf-Lite® will outperform its competition and ensure that you are receiving the necessary performance and reliability that you demand from your cooling tower fan.
- Tuf-Lite® is designed to withstand the most corrosive and demanding environments in the cooling tower industry.
- Tuf-Lite® is the most requested axial flow fan in the field erected cooling tower market.
Air-Cooled Condensers:
- The Tuf-Lite® design and construction is ideal to handle the demanding needs that exist in an ACC.
- Tuf-Lite® can withstand the high winds that are typical in an ACC application that cause other fans to fail.
- One recent case study: A major 45-cell ACC unit in Colorado was experiencing continuous fan failures. The operator replaced the fans in the fall of 2014 with Tuf-Lite II® and have not had any failures since. Additionally, they gained 13% more airflow at 10% less horsepower.
