In the Port of Rotterdam, an impressive 18-meter-high storage hall was recently equipped with a powerful ventilation system. The hall is used for the storage of lithium batteries — which requires a reliable, industrial solution with high airflow capacities.

The challenge
Lithium batteries impose strict requirements on air quality and temperature within a space. To meet safety regulations, the hall must be completely flushed with fresh air five to six times per hour. This means handling enormous air volumes, continuous operation, and maximum reliability.

The solution by Slingerland Techniek
For this project, we supplied 7 large axial fans, each with an impressive airflow capacity of 40,000 m³/h.

This axial fan is specially designed for industrial applications that require high air displacement.

✅ Axial fans with high airflows – ideal for tall halls and storage facilities
✅ Stainless steel impeller blades – corrosion-resistant and durable
✅ Sendzimir-galvanized housing – robust casing with extra protection against moisture and dust
✅ Frequency-controlled regulators – stepless adjustment of fan speed and airflow

Although this type of fan was originally developed for ventilating stables and agricultural buildings, it once again proves its effectiveness in a demanding industrial environment.

When welding stainless steel, not only welding fumes are released, but also warm air that would normally be lost. Instead of simply exhausting this heat, we developed a system that recovers and reuses the energy. This ensures a well-ventilated workspace without unnecessary heat loss. In addition, the installation was designed to be flexible — the extraction system for 17 workstations automatically adjusts to the number of active stations.

How does the system work?

In collaboration with Miltech, we installed a heat recovery system that includes:

✅ A Sult filter unit that efficiently captures welding fumes.
✅ An extraction fan that removes contaminated air.
✅ Two plug fans that blow clean air back into the workspace.
✅ A heat exchanger that uses the exhausted heat to preheat incoming air.
✅ Valves combined with a control system to maintain optimal balance between extraction and supply, regardless of how many workstations are in use.

What are the benefits?

Thanks to this system, approximately 16,000 m³/h of air is refreshed without significant energy loss. This ensures a healthy working environment and a lower energy bill. Additionally, the installation automatically adapts to the situation, so air is never extracted in excess of what is needed.

At Slingerland, we specialize in delivering high-quality, custom-made solutions for industrial applications. One of our recent projects involved providing a fully stainless steel fan, specifically designed to handle high temperatures of up to 350°C. This project was for a client who develops industrial machines for heating and pre-frying French fries.

To meet the extreme conditions, we designed a double-walled stainless steel fan. This structure includes a standard stainless steel housing, with 60 mm of thermal insulation added, and a second stainless steel housing welded around it. This construction ensures that the fan’s bearing block and motor are better protected from the high temperatures transported through the fan.

Due to the high temperatures, we deliberately avoided using a direct-drive fan, as it would significantly shorten the motor’s lifespan. Instead, we opted for a type 8 configuration, where a bearing block is placed between the motor and the stainless steel housing. This not only extends the lifespan of the fan but also reduces strain on the motor.

In consultation with the client, we chose stainless steel 316L for the motor mount, frame, and the entire fan housing. This was a critical choice, especially in the food industry, where stainless steel 316L is essential for its hygienic and corrosion-resistant properties. Additionally, the fan is equipped with a double-walled inspection hatch with thermal insulation to prevent heat loss.

For added efficiency and stability, the fan features heat-resistant stainless steel inlet and outlet flexible connections, as well as vibration dampers. This ensures vibration-free operation, even under extreme temperatures. The fan is powered by a 5.5kW 2-pole WEG motor, capable of moving 3800 m³/h of air at a pressure of 1356 pascal, even at 350°C.

Thanks to our expertise in stainless steel fans, our client was able to deliver a machine that meets the highest industrial standards. Slingerland is your partner for custom stainless steel fans designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Are you looking for a reliable solution for high-temperature applications?

Small overpressure centrifugal fan for Cooling Electrical Cabinets

A client of ours frequently encountered issues with their electrical installations. Failures in the electrical cabinet were often due to inadequate cooling or dirty air being drawn in. They build dust extraction systems for the wood industry, and when these electrical cabinets were installed in contaminated production environments, the standard cooling fans in the electrical cabinets often failed to function properly.

Efficient Cooling of Electrical Installations in Contaminated Production Environments

Most cabinet system suppliers provide them with small axial fans for internal cooling. When their customers face issues in contaminated environments, they typically install fans with filters to purify the incoming air. However, as is well-known, an axial fan can move sufficient air but struggles to overcome pressure. As soon as the filter becomes even slightly dirty, it cannot draw in enough air.

Our Solution: Small Centrifugal Fan with filter

These small steel-coated or aluminum centrifugal fans are perfect for this application. They are lightweight, easy to install, and still capable of drawing in enough air, even when the filter is dirty. A high-quality cartridge filter is placed on the fan inlet, and the outlet is directed downward to cool the electrical cabinet. This approach works exceptionally well. The electrical cabinet is maintained under complete overpressure, ensuring that no dirt can enter through cracks or gaps. The large airflow also provides highly efficient cooling.
