A blending apparatus includes a motor, a fan, and a thermostatic fan clutch. The fan is engaged with a secondary drive shaft of the motor and the thermostatic fan clutch engages the secondary drive shaft to cause the fan to rotate and disengages the secondary drive shaft to cause the fan to stop rotating. The thermostatic fan clutch also partially engages and/or partially disengages the secondary drive shaft to cause the fan to rotate at a controlled speed or an adjusted speed. In addition, the thermostatic fan clutch engages and/or disengages the secondary drive shaft based on a temperature of the motor.
