ATEX fans are fans that are installed in environments where there is a risk that an explosive atmosphere can form. Therefore, these fans need to be designed according to the ATEX directives. Depending on the classification of the environment, internal solutions inside the fan, such as e.g. spark protection in the fan cover or non-sparking materials. While in other cases, EX-rated motors are also required. Explosive gases require special fans. Our factories are certified according to ATEX for the manufacture of fans for Zone 1 and 2 as well as for Zone 21 and 22 containing dust. The design, production and use of fans for explosive media or environment is clearly specified in Europe by standardized directives. To choose the right ATEX fan, one should start from operating data and process design, as well as whether there are any special requirements.

A fan designed for material transport is often a centrifugal fan with an impeller adapted for abrasive particles in the air flow. Fans that transport different materials in the air flow are often extra robust fans, with the right material in the cover and fan wheel. Depending on the application, the fan wheels can be equipped with knives that not only beat but also cut the transported material into smaller pieces, this type of fan is called a knife fan. By developing a fan for your particular application, we ensure that the fan can perform over time – regardless of how tough the application is. With a durable design with a stable fan curve, we know that our fans for material transport can help you with your particular application. Our many years of experience and large product range give our customers peace of mind. Development, design and manufacture of fans takes place with the highest precision and with the highest quality materials.
