Hot-dip galvanised fans for mushroom cultivation

Our hot-dip galvanised fans recently proved to be the perfect investment to meet the high standards of mushroom cultivation. In this industry, it is crucial for the perfect circumstances to be created in order to facilitate optimal growth of crop. Read all about how our hot-dip galvanised centrifugal fans effectively helped out our client below.

Hot-dip galvanised fans for crop cultivation

The Slingerland hot-dip galvanised fans were recently deployed for mushroom cultivation. Growers of greenhouse crops and mushroom farms face complex ventilation challenges. Proper indoor climate control is key to their revenue. That is why fan systems in such growth installations must promote healthy and disease-free growth of crop under the most optimal circumstances.

Accurate control of temperature, air humidity, CO2-levels and air circulation is key. Combined with the need for low energy consumption and low maintenance costs, these requirements pose a serious challenge. Both the quality and performance of these ventilation systems are subject to strict requirements. Luckily, Slingerland is the place to be for high-quality industrial ventilation systems, in this case hot-dip galvanised fans.

Industrial, high-quality composting fans

Mushroom cultivation is a delicate process with many stages that requires perfect balance and timing from start to finish. Only then can successful results be achieved. Regular mushrooms need perfect circumstances and controlled growth to allow the farmer to meet market demand in time and at the lowest possible cost. The associated challenges depend on the installation setup and the farmer’s individual preferences. In addition to different process fans, the ventilation designs may contain functionalities such as heat recovery, ammonia washers, biofilters and even aroma treatment.

Fully galvanised centrifugal fans for mushroom cultivation

For this installer, we found the solution in a combination of axial and centrifugal fans. For the tunnel units, for example, we delivered a directly propelled centrifugal fan with a capacity of 40,000m3/h at 3500 pascal. The fan casing, chair and fan of the centrifugal fan are fully galvanised. In addition, the fan casing is fully welded and fitted with an inspection hatch and condensate drain. All fixing materials are galvanised as well. In addition, we supplied an axial fan with a motor capacity of 7.5kW and a capacity of 40,000 m3/h at 289 pascal. The fan blades are made of plastic with an impeller hub with a 38mm shaft hole of cast aluminium. The hub comes with stainless steel fixing materials. What sets this axial fan apart is that it is directly propelled, yet the motor remains outside the airflow.  We call this a bifurcated axial fan. Finally, Slingerland completely pre-wired the fans and fitted them with flexible connections.
