ATEX explosion-proof axial duct fans play a critical role in ventilating hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts could ignite. These fans are specifically designed to comply with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, ensuring safe and reliable operation in explosive atmospheres such as Zones 1, 2, 21, or 22, as defined by EN 60079 standards. Featuring a spark-resistant design in accordance with BS EN 14986, they effectively prevent ignition caused by friction, impact, or electrical faults.
ABOUT THIS ITEM
Constructed with robust materials such as aluminum impellers and corrosion-resistant casings (e.g., galvanized steel or polyester-coated), ATEX explosion-proof axial duct fans are built to withstand harsh industrial conditions. Their encapsulated motors—typically rated IP68—eliminate the risk of electrical sparks. Certifications such as ATEX and IECEx, marked with codes like EX db IIB T4 Gb, confirm their suitability for specific gas or dust groups and temperature classes. Equipped with high-efficiency motors (e.g., IE3) and compatible with variable speed control via frequency inverters, these fans provide optimal airflow while reducing energy consumption.
Commonly used in industries such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and warehouses, these fans are ideal for ventilating confined spaces and extracting hazardous fumes. For example, the 12-inch VEVOR ATEX fan delivers 3900 m³/h (2295 CFM) at 3450 RPM with a 550W motor, while the Systemair AXC-EX series offers customized configurations for various operational needs. Available in sizes ranging from 10 to 40 inches, their airflow capacity depends on duct length and application requirements.
