Efficient ventilation is not only crucial for a pleasant working environment, but it is also essential in explosion-prone areas due to occupational safety regulations and legal requirements. By specifically supplying and exhausting air in rooms, health-damaging and explosive substances such as paint and lacquer vapors, welding fumes, dust particles, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and water vapor are reliably removed.
This fan is specifically designed for high delivery performance in explosion-prone environments with high back pressure, even over long transport routes via interconnected air transport hoses. This makes it the ideal supply fan for ventilation and exhaust in explosion protection zones of class 2, for example during tank cleaning, in port facilities, refineries, shafts, or silos.
Even at hose distances of up to 50 meters with several bends, this powerful radial fan guarantees a high air volume. Unlike axial fans, it moves the air perpendicular to the impeller axis based on the principle of a centrifuge, where the air is pushed outward and compressed in a spiral-shaped housing. The radial fan manufactured according to the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU is integrated into a robust, powder-coated steel housing with a highly durable two-component coating, making it extremely resistant to aggressive environmental conditions. Optionally, the housing is available in all desired steel grades.
"In addition to the frameless standard version, the blower is optionally available with an additional frame made of galvanized steel, equipped with robust transport wheels, forklift tabs, and crane lifting eyes. This transport frame not only offers maximum mobility for use at changing locations but is also space-saving and stackable in two layers during transport and storage."
"Switches, cables, and plugs are approved for use in explosive environments. Additionally, suitable coupling plugs are available for connection extensions, which are certified for zones 1, 2, 21, and 22."
"An optional star-delta starter combination of 18.5 kW for EX zone 22, 400 V, AC3, IP 55 is also available."
