Equipment and protective systems intended for us in potentially explosive atmospheres regulation 2016. A publication by the Health and Safety Authority explains how poor fume extraction design and/or maintenance may lead to pollution exposure in a laboratory rather than preventing it. The centrifugal fan ranges are available in a choice of rotation and discharge angles and include bifurcated inline fans.

If a ventilation system in a laboratory is not set up correctly or malfunctions it poses a serious health risk and can lead to short and long-term illnesses consequently. School and university fume cupboards act as a physical barrier between reactions and the classroom or laboratory.

Mechanical isolation of the fan from the motor pedestal or base by means of rubber anti vibration mountings of the correct hardness and compression. Talk to our experienced team to discuss ATEX fans for explosive atmospheres that are suitable for your application. This applies to industrial air movement applications including, but not limited to, machine cooling, process equipment, food processing and manufacturing and electrical cooling.

Initially the technical requirements will be identical to those of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and is likely to for the foreseeable future but obviously this is subject to change, and we’ll update as soon as we have further details or when is legally required to. Our wide range of award nominated ATEX explosion proof fans are suitable for zone 1 and zone 2 gas or dust ATEX atmospheres where there is a potential for explosive atmospheres in line with relevant ATEX regulations 2014/34/EU. For laboratories where there are multiple fume cupboards per fan, we can offer a larger solution to suit.Applications include food packaging, welding, paint systems, and wastewater treatment exhaust systems among others. Our range of energy efficient corrosion resistant fans with IE5 B34 type EC motors reduce fan energy consumption by up to 20% without affecting the performance of the system and are available in single or three phase versions. Lack of experience with fume cupboard extraction systems can make it difficult to determine the correct fan specification required, in which case further guidance is available from national bodies with specific knowledge and experience in this area such as the DfE or CLEAPSS. You should also be aware of the British Standard EN 14986:2018 which sets out the constructional design requirements for fans for use in explosive environments. The relevant number of the Notified Body and Approved Body, responsible for supervision of manufacture, must be marked adjacent to the CE and UKCA marking.
