Stainless steel Centrifugal ventilator for food industry

Our client provides customised solutions for production lines in the potato, fruit and vegetable sector. They integrate and streamline machines in every step of the production process. In this industry, hygiene and quality are very important. High demands are also placed on finishing.

Fan for suction of a strawberry belt

Developing a new machine is not easy and needs to be tailor-made for a process. Our client had a request to develop a machine to automatically remove the crown from strawberries. The strawberries were placed on a belt and had to be sucked with their crown into a small hole. Several strawberries on a belt until it was full and then a knife would automatically run under it and top the strawberries. It was not easy to determine the suction here. But thanks to our engineering department, we were able to go on site and measure what would be needed in terms of suction power. This enabled us to select a suitable fan for our customer.

Solution using stainless steel centrifugal ventilator with pull-out system

In the end, we designed very high-quality stainless steel centrifugal fans with a pull-out system to remove the impellers for easy cleaning. As we use robust impellers, the hinges naturally had to be sufficiently heavy duty. We therefore provided two mounting brackets on the swing-out system and the motor plate was equipped with three quick-release fasteners. We also provided a condensation drain with G½” internal thread. This stainless steel fan was equipped with a 5.5kW 2-pole WEG motor. The fan was manufactured entirely from stainless steel 304, after which it was shot-blasted to give all welds a perfect finish. The fan was fully TIG-welded, which is also very important in the food industry.

18 Integrated centrifugal fans for the production of wood dust filters

Our integrated centrifugal ventilators, version 5, recently proved to be indispensable in the production process of dust filters. Several crucial factors had to be taken into account, and in such cases, there is no better point of contact than Slingerland! Read here how we successfully resolved a challenge for a satisfied customer with our exceptional industrial ventilators.

Sustainable centrifugal ventilators with low operating costs

With our centrifugal ventilators, we recently assisted a customer with a highly respected name in the production of dust filters. This company had over 70 years of experience in the agro, wood and recycling industry and offered innovative quality solutions for industrial dust extraction. The key factors? Unparalleled sustainability, high efficiency and low operating costs. With our integrated centrifugal ventilators, version 5, we could certainly deliver!

High-efficiency horizontal centrifugal ventilators required

In close cooperation with the customer, Slingerland searched for high-efficiency centrifugal ventilators that could also be installed quickly and efficiently. This saved time during the construction of their filter systems, namely when the horizontal centrifugal ventilators were mounted in the clean side of the filter. Easy to assemble, easy to maintain and high quality!

The solution? Version 5 centrifugal ventilators that are quick to install

The horizontal centrifugal ventilators we selected were equipped with B5 motors, which could be easily mounted on the ventilator housing with a flange. In addition, we equipped this version 5 centrifugal ventilator with a frame on the underside so that it could be easily mounted via the top of the filter.

The customer then provided its own cone, which connects the inlet of the integrated centrifugal ventilators directly to the filter section below the clean air side. There, the horizontal centrifugal ventilators could draw in the air through the filter sleeves, thus filtering the air from the process. In addition, these horizontal centrifugal ventilators were all frequency-controlled and of excellent quality.

Are you also searching for integrated centrifugal ventilators? Feel free to contact us!

Would our version 5 centrifugal fans also make a difference for the air management in your company? Then we’d like to invite you to sit down with our experts for a no-obligation consultation to discuss the possibilities. At Slingerland, you’re always welcome!

Heat-resistant centrifugal ventilators for powder coating installation

Today, Slingerland’s heat-resistant centrifugal ventilators represent true added value in numerous industrial sectors. Did you know, for example, that these ventilators even play a major role in the application of professional powder coatings? Find out more about our recent contract for oven ventilators for a professional powder coating line here!

Why use heat-resistant centrifugal ventilators in powder coating?

How our custom centrifugal ventilators are beneficial in such a powder coating installation? As follows: A powder coating installation or powder coating line generally consists of one or more sub-processes, always starting with proper pre-treatment. In a market that is becoming increasingly demanding, a growing number of companies are coming to the conclusion that an additional process, such as KTL/ATL or galvanisation, is necessary. This is the only way to meet the high-quality requirements.

After this type of pre-treatment, it is always necessary to use a drying oven. Afterwards, an even layer of powder coating is applied in the powder room. This hardens in the curing oven into a wear-resistant, hard protective layer.

In other words, the powder coating process is a series of processes, each of which needs to be perfectly coordinated. In these various steps, it is therefore essential that the air management is correctly implemented. Slingerland’s centrifugal ventilators are efficiently deployed for this task!

High-quality heat-resistant centrifugal ventilators at a fair price

The customer who recently approached us for centrifugal ventilators was an OEM company that had been manufacturing powder-coating systems for decades. To regulate their air management, the company used various types of oven ventilators, depending on the customer’s quality requirements. They offered an affordable solution of a B-brand and a high-quality solution of a German A-brand. However, there was a demand for a mid-range solution, where the quality was comparable to that of the German manufacturer but the price was closer to that of a B-brand. And of course, at Slingerland, we were able to provide just that solution!

We supply various models of oven ventilators

This customer required various types of ventilators for its processes, which would provide the air management in the drying and oven processes. We therefore supplied the following ventilators to Slingerland:

  • 7 Oven ventilators for 20,000m3/hr at 400Pa total pressure at 200°C. These types are equipped with a 7.5kW 4-pole WEG motor.
  • 6 Oven ventilators for 6,700m3/hr at 458Pa total pressure at 200°C.

Each of these centrifugal ventilators had a heat-resistant, silicone-free coating. In addition, they were equipped with a cooling fan and a special mounting profile for mounting certain oven parts.

The unique feature of these heat-resistant centrifugal ventilators was that they were custom-made, so that the oven did not have to be modified. For the customer, this meant that he could keep his existing design and still use new, alternative ventilators. A great advantage!

Are you also interested in centrifugal ventilators for your powder coating process?

Are you also in search of heat resistant centrifugal or other ventilators for the air management in your company or for a specific customer? Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us: we will be pleased to discuss the possibilities with no obligation on your part!

PP Centrifugal Fans for Leiden University Medical Centre

Our PP centrifugal fans recently proved to be the perfect solution for a major Dutch installer who had been tasked with replacing fans at a hospital. It was extremely important for these fans to be 100% airtight, as not a single particle can be allowed to escape from a sensitive environment of this nature. Read on to find out how we tackled this problem at Slingerland!

Plastic centrifugal fans for a university medical centre

Slingerland’s plastic centrifugal fans recently proved to be the missing piece in the puzzle at LUMC, or Leiden University Medical Centre. This is because this research institute hosts several laboratories, at which valuable and special research is performed. To be able to carry out this research in the best possible conditions, a reliable and high-quality extraction system was required. And that’s exactly what we were able to offer!

PP centrifugal fans with bypass flow for 100% airtightness

One of the laboratories at the Leiden institute was due a new set of fans. In answer to their question, we supplied six RMV250 2D PP-welded plastic fans, as well as one RMV225 welded fan for external installation.

This plastic RMV250 centrifugal fan can handle an extraction rate of 400 m³/h at 600 pascal of negative pressure, plus a rate of 1500 m³/h at 1300 pascal of negative pressure at a second operating point. These industrial centrifugal fans are also fitted with 2.2 kW ABB electric motors. The shaft seals are fitted with a plastic seal with an extra chamber for negative pressure. This negative pressure is created via a bypass to the inlet of the fan.

These robust pp centrifugal fans come fully welded and are extremely solidly built as a result. The customer used this solution to replace the existing fans in the technical room at the hospital and is now set for many years to come. That’s why we do what we do!

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.

In need of galvanised centrifugal fans?

Like all our other industrial fans, our hot-dip galvanised fans  boast certified performance. They offer power and reliability even in the most difficult circumstances, making them a durable investment in your business. Want to learn more?
