Case study

Plastic centrifugal fan with stainless steel fan and swing-out option

The customer is a large industrial bakery that produces a wide range of bakery products and needs efficient extraction to ensure the high quality of the final product. At this facility, they make various types of pastry bottoms from yeast doughs and sand doughs. They then offer these both unfilled, semi-filled and fully filled, from unfilled tartelet to ready-made flan.

Fan for extraction of air production lines

The customer was looking for a new solution for the extraction of one of their production lines. In this line, it was important to have sufficient extraction, allowing them to extract unnecessary dust and control the high humidity. This would allow them to improve the quality and shelf life of their finished product.

Solution with plastic centrifugal fan P354

We worked with our client to advise the end user to take a plastic centrifugal fan P354, including a plastic impeller and motor mount equipped with a swing-out option to allow proper cleaning of the fan at the end of the day.

The fan was equipped with a WEG motor of 0.55 kW B5 design. The fan’s PP impeller and PE housing made it corrosion resistant and suitable for use in humid environments. To address the problem of condensate build-up, the fan was equipped with a condensate drainage system that prevented moisture build-up and ensured that the system remained dry even after cleaning.

The fan’s frequency control allowed precise control of fan speed, which not only contributed to energy savings, but also allowed the customer to adjust the airflow to their specific requirements. To ensure the fan’s durability and ease of maintenance, we added additional components, including a motor foundation with a swing-out system made of stainless steel304, a stainless steel304 mesh grille on the discharge side, a flexible connection for the suction side, an ABB operating switch and 4 vibration dampers.
