The dust-extraction fan is the heart of any industrial dust collection system, delivering the airflow and pressure needed to transport particulates from source hoods to separators or filters. It excels at handling abrasive and fibrous materials.
Featuring backward-inclined or radial-blade impellers made from abrasion-resistant alloys or hardened steel, the fan withstands particulate wear and maintains performance over extended service intervals. The welded steel housing is lined with replaceable wear plates to protect against corrosion and erosion.
Variable frequency drive (VFD) integration enables real-time control of airflow based on sensor feedback from differential pressure gauges or particulate monitors. This proportional extraction approach optimizes energy use, reducing power consumption by up to 25% during light-duty operation.
Available in single-stage and multi-stage configurations, with static pressures up to 5 kPa and airflow capacities exceeding 60,000 CFM, the dust-extraction fan supports baghouses, cartridge filters, and cyclone separators across woodworking, metalworking, pharmaceuticals, and food processing industries.
Maintenance features include external lubrication points, vibration-monitored bearings, and hinged access doors for rapid impeller inspection. ATEX-rated versions and HEPA filtration kits ensure safe deployment in hazardous or clean-critical environments.
