DE-DUSTING
How are the fans used in
the process ?
De-dusting is the most diverse market for
industrial
centrifugal fans:
from small fume exhaust installations to heavy
duty applications using high kW motors, de-
dusting requires the broadest variety of fan
types.
Functioning principles:
1) The system can work as a pressure-type
system, (See Fig 1) with dust or particles moving
through the fan (typical of wood industries /
workshops).
2) The system can work as a depression-type
system, where particles are eliminated either
through a simple kiln where the fan is often
directly mounted on top of the cyclone (See Fig
2), or through a more complex system with
compartments inside the filter, relayed by the
introduction of air to eliminate airborne particles
(see Fig 3).

3
DE-DUSTING
What are the technical
characterises of the fan ?
In pressure-type systems, like in the wood industry,
as all particles travel directly through the fan, the
impeller must be equipped with radial blades (T-type
Blades), and very often mounted without any shroud,
to avoid particles becoming attached within the fan.
Robustness of the fan and material thickness are
important elements of fan design.
Fans located after the cyclone and/or within filtering
systems, can have backward inclined, airfoil or flat
blades due to the clean air environment.
The most important characteristics of the fan are low
noise levels and high efficiency so users get the best
performance from the installation, avoiding the use
of silencers or acoustic insulation.
Our offer:
Centrifugal fans in a variety of arrangements:
• Arrangement 5 (direct drive with flanged motors).
• Arrangement 4 (direct drive with foot motors).
• Arrangement 1 (belt drive).
• Arrangement 8 (coupling drive).

4
PAINT BOOTHS
the process ?
Fans installed in painting applications can
vary depending on their location within the
process:
A) For air supply in the spray booth cabins,
double inlet centrifugal fans are used.
B) Single inlet fans with a special anti-
adhesive coating are used for “dirty air
extraction”.
C) Re-circulating fans (called plug types) are
installed in ovens to keep an even
temperature inside.
These last 2 types must have a dismountable
casing design, with easily accessible
impellers to enable cleaning.
For drying and cooling,
two alternative solutions
are considered:
1) double inlet centrifugal fans equipped with
frequency inverters.
2) large axial flow fans with adjustable-pitch-
in-motion impellers.
Our offer:
Belt driven Centripal EU with accessible impeller for cleaning.
Centripal EU double inlet for drying and cooling.
Centrimaster GT for fresh air introduction via air supply plenums.
Europal for incinerators such as e-dip baths.
Axicos (axial fans with adjustable-pitch-in-motion) that deliver
variable flows in the cooling systems.

5
GLASS INDUSTRY
How are the fans used in the
process ?
Fans installed throughout the process are usually of a
centrifugal type. At the start of the process, a large centrifugal
fan is used to cool the oven walls.
A high pressure fan is installed to introduce fresh air inside
the oven to allow for correct combustion. The following fan
is a high temperature type (400 to 500°C), exhausting hot
gasses from the oven. Inside the oven itself, some re-
circulating fans are often used to maintain a homogenous
temperature.
Following the oven, depending on
glass type, either:
• Glass is slowly cooled directly after the oven through
medium pressure / high volume centrifugals (windows, flat
glass), or through high pressure types in the case of the car
glass industries for example.
• Glass flows from the ovens to be distributed in different
moulds, such as in bottle production.
In this case, boilers are installed along the process to maintain
liquid glass at the right temperature. Fans provide fresh air
to the boilers and are called “conveyors”. The final fans
installed in this system are high pressure blowers for mould
cooling. A “flat aerodynamic curve” is needed to keep the
same pressure on the different moulds, whatever the number
of moulds installed or which are functioning at the same time.
Our offer:
Fans are of a quite heavy duty type, and have to be robust,
efficient and reliable. A complete range of motor powers is
also necessary up to a few hundred kWs.
Direct, belt and coupling drive arrangement are needed
because of temperature, mechanical life time and cycle
conditions.
Centripal EU, Europal and Technopal fans are all used for
this application.

6
CHEMICALS
PETROCHEMICALS
process ?
Fans used in chemical or petrochemical applications are
usually of a heavy duty type. Often of stainless steel
construction, the fans are used to exhaust corrosive, high
temperature or hazardous gasses from the process.
Fans located within such environments must now be
compliant with the ATEX norm and constructed to ensure
optimum safety. Fans can be classified for use in zone 1 or
zone 2, with motors ranging from EexNa range to Eexd II
CT6, and constructed with an anti-spark design, combining
the right material pairings in compliance with ATEX
requirements in terms of safety.
Our offer:
Flakt Woods offers a complete range of ATEX compliant fans,
and is one of the pioneers of this application, being integral
to the development of this new standard.
Fans must be highly reliable and efficient, often of a high
pressure type, capable of withstanding high corrosion
environments, often to following API norms outside Europe
for petroleum companies.
Special shaft seals, special materials, tailor made executions
characterise the design of these fans.
Centripal EU , Europal , Single or Two Stage Technopal fans
are suitable for these applications. JM Aerofoils are often
used in less harsh environments.

7
AGRICULTURE &
SILOS
What are the fans
made for in the
process ?
Fans for agriculture tend be of axial type
for the ventilation of livestock buildings to
maintain the livelihood of pigs and poultry,
through the provision of fresh air and
removal of harmful contaminated air.
For grain drying, light centrifugal fans are
common, mostly of a double inlet type in a
non-welded execution, or two-stage axial
flow fans are used.
In silo applications, medium pressure / high
volume centrifugal fans are needed. Fans
are of a fully welded design, and must be
compliant with the new ATEX regulations.
As these fans are now considered as being
located in a hazardous environment, their
construction must follow ATEX Norm for the
dust environment and depend on the
location of the fan, Zone 21 or Zone 22,
and whether the fan is in an extracting or
blowing mode.
Our offer:
2100 series for building ventilation.
JM axial flow fans single stage or double
stage for grain drying or for larger building
ventilation.
GT centrifugal fans in a non ATEX grain
drying.

8
BOILERS AND OVENS
process ?
Fans for industrial boilers are used to introduce fresh air into
the boiler in order to allow the proper maintenance of oxygen
levels necessary for the gas combustion.
Inlet guide vanes are used to regulate intensity and pressure,
depending on the required temperature. Fan curves have to
be of an anti-stall type.
These industrial boilers are dedicated to oven applications,
for glass or metal industries. Inside the oven, re-circulating
fans are used to maintain uniform temperatures. Large
centrifugal fans are also used for cooling oven wall cooling,
allowing a longer lifetime.
Our offer:
Fläkt Woods has a complete range of high pressure direct
driven centrifugal fans in the EU range. The main advantage
over the competition is the ability to provide a direct driven

tough environment requiring reliable and efficient
performance.
Fans for wood industries can be of axial types to dry wood
before its transformation, or of centrifugal type, and used as
de-dusters in the transformation process.
For the paper industry, paper is continuously running on rolls
at a speed which depends on quality and type of paper
produced.
Fans in this process are used to
dry the paper along the process:
• either exhausting air, creating a depression under paper
paste (i.e high pressure fans (8000 to 10000 Pa), with a
stainless steel construction.
• or paper paste is going through an oven and standard
construction fans of medium pressure and 160°C continuous
and are used for air circulation to evacuate calories.

MICRO-CHIPS
process ?
Fans for micro chips are used along the process as
exhausters. Production of the micro-chips is very corrosive,
and gasses have to be treated before being rejected in the
air, through very complicated filtering systems.
Centrifugal fans in special stainless steel and Allard coating
are used as:
• Hot gasses exhausters.
• Acid gas exhausters.
• Ammoniac exhausters.
• Solvents exhausters.
All those fans have to be equipped with inlet guide vanes
for production capacity regulation.
Otherwise, for fresh air introduction in the building, large axial
flow fans with adjustable-pitch-in-motion impellers are used
to follow production rhythm, without stopping the fan.
Our offer:
Fläkt Woods offers a complete range of centrifugal fans, from
Centripal EU and Europal range, stainless steel versions or
with special coating, and Axicos as axial flow fans range
with adjustable pitch in motion impellers.

13
FOOD INDUSTRY
the process?
Fans in food industry can be of both axial and
centrifugal type. Depending on their location and their
role inside the process, low, medium or high pressure
types can be requested.
As they are in a food environment, the material of the
fan tends to be either in a stainless steel construction,
or in aluminium. Certain epoxy coatings can be also
suitable in some processes.
In the food processing industry, fans are usually needed
for drying (blowers) or exhausting the water content
from the raw food. For example in pasta or milk-powder
production, hot gasses have to be blown onto the food
in order to get
rid of all water content, which guarantees the food is
conserved before being packaged.
Our offer :
Stainless steel centrifugal and axial flow fans, part of
the JM and Centripal EU range. High efficiencies and

15
MARINE & OFFSHORE
What are the fans made
for in the process ?
Fans in Marine and Offshore environments are used
to create ventilation and comfort in the cabins, and
for the machineries areas.
Fans located in those environments are operating in
tough conditions: salt and humidity are corrosive, and
continuously attacking materials. Moreover, as
maintenance is a critical point in terms of accessibility,
availability of spares and of technical people, design
of the fans must be thought to be first class quality in
terms of vibrations, sound levels and lifetime. This is
particularly true for fans located in submarines, where
each single movement / noise is creating turbulances
which can be seen on radars.
Fans can also be located in hazardous environments
e.g. in offshore platforms, and engineering companies
tend to ask for explosion proof technologies.
Stainless steel designs 304L, 316L are a must to face
these critical ambient conditions, and Eexd motors
are often requested.
Our offer:
Fläkt Woods has all the products needed, from a
complete HVAC system to a stainless steel JM axial
or EU centrifugal fan in stainless steel execution,
which can be equipped with inlet guide vanes
regulation.

16
MACHINERY
MANUFACTURERS - OEM"s
the process ?
A lot of industrial machineries require fans for cooling,
blowing, exhausting: in essence they create the air
movement necessary for the proper machinery
functioning.
The OEM customer requests a particular duty point to
have the best output from his machinery. The role of
the fan manufacturer is then to take into account the
environment in which the customer’s machine is to be
used to determine the optimum proposition. After
prototyping, validation and qualification of the OEM
machine, the fan manufacturer then produces as many
fans as the OEM produces machines.
