ATEX Explosion Proof Axial Duct Fan

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.

Examples include the VEVOR 12-inch ATEX fan (2295 CFM, 550W pure copper motor, 3450 RPM) and the Systemair AXC-EX range, which can be tailored to meet specific industrial standards and safety needs. Always ensure the selected fan is certified and zone-compatible as verified by a notified body.
