Fanquip portable blower/extractor range

Fanquip’s portable blower/extractor range supplies clean air and removes toxic fumes; it is also suitable for air pressure supply units, confined space ventilators and general air flow maintenance duties. Manufactured in electric drive and petrol drive versions for greater applicability across industries, the units can be used to ventilate confined spaces with a continuous supply of fresh air. The units can also be used for ‘point of generation’ extraction of welding fumes, exhaust smoke from automobiles, vapour and noxious gases.

Electric-powered units have a motor speed of 1880 rpm and are available in 160 or 200 mm diameters, each of which comes in 1 Ph 240 V or 3 Ph 415 V models. The 160 mm diameter model has a 0.55 kW power operation, capable of moving 450 L/s of air. All 200 mm diameter models have 1.50 kW power and move 890 L/s of air.

The units provide a better working environment for manufacturing and engineering workshops that struggle with welding fumes, by channelling air into a capture hood. The units can also be used by council maintenance crews for sewer ventilation during routine or emergency works. All Fanquip portable blower extractors are supplied with a capture hood and 5 m of flexible ducting, with additional lengths of ducting available.

The unit’s motors are mounted on lightweight steel/alloy bases, to provide strength and rigidity. The blower snail case is moulded from impact-resistant polyethylene, with matching inlet and outlets. The heavy-duty forward curved centrifugal impeller provides consistent airflow under the load, with an extra moulded plastic capture hood supplied to increase the extraction area.
