Many production processes and treatment methods generate aerosols, dust, smoke, gases or chips, which must be extracted. A good example of companies that work with media that are hazardous to health are paint shops where powerful, reliable and resistant extraction systems are essential. However, harmful or hazardous substances are produced, which must be sucked in as close as possible to the source of emissions and passed on in a controlled manner, are also produced in other industries and working areas, such as welding, soldering, sawing, milling, flexing and decanting of materials and liquids. Depending on the operation and requirements, various fans are used to suck in the contaminated exhaust air and transport it – if necessary after passing through appropriate filters or separators in the extraction system – back into the room in a processed state or outside into the open air.
Extraction systems are used not only in paint shops, but also in applications where aerosols, particles or potentially explosive atmospheres may occur. The design of such systems is based on the respective process requirements as well as the applicable legal, regulatory and safety-related framework conditions. In addition, aspects such as energy efficiency, emission reduction and regulatory requirements may be taken into account during planning and operation.
In paint shops, clean air and the right climate are basic prerequisites for perfect painting results and safe workplaces. This applies to large painting lines and robot workstations in the automotive industry or machine production as well as to small and medium-sized painting operations, such as painting booths and painting stations in paint shops, car or furniture workshops. Custom-designed fans can be installed at various locations as exhaust, recirculation and supply air fans, for example in the room, in the wall or in a self-contained filter and extraction system.
Depending on the requirements, explosion-protected fans (e.g. in accordance with ATEX or IECEx) may be used for the extraction of exhaust air and paint mist in spray booths and paint shops, while free-running centrifugal fans may be used, for example, for the supply air. Gas-tight fans with enclosures are also available for certain exhaust air treatment applications. For processes involving the drying and curing of coated surfaces, fans can be designed and selected according to the respective airflow requirements and operating conditions.
ZIEHL-ABEGG provides the right fans for every installation situation and operating environment, ensuring an optimal operating point, high energy efficiency, and reliable operation. Our comprehensive product range also includes explosion-proof fans, stainless steel versions, models with enclosures and fans that are particularly resistant to heat, dust, corrosion or aggressive chemical substances thanks to special materials or coatings. This is how, even for unusual situations and very demanding requirements, we either have the ideally suited fan in our range, or we can create the particular shape, special size or specific complete solution for the application, which perfectly matches the requirements of plant manufacturers or operators.
Exhaust systems in paint shops and other commercial and industrial production facilities can be designed very differently. For example, exhaust systems from robot workstations or fully automated production lines usually work primarily in a production-optimised manner, whereas in plants where people are at work, their health and safety must take top priority. However, clean air that is free of smoke and soot, fine dust, suspended particles or greasy mist is also beneficial for machines and processes that often place high demands on dust and/or silicone-free environments, room humidity, temperature and other air parameters. Monitoring devices also require clean air because if the sensors become dirty, the risk of false alarms, false shutdowns and downtimes increases, which pushes up costs considerably (and unnecessarily).
When it comes to exhaust systems, the general rule is that emissions should be detected as early or as close as possible to where they occur in order to prevent them from spreading. For the efficient extraction of aerosols, vapours, gases and dusts, a wide range of models are available. Exhaust systems can be positioned above the source of emissions, for example, as extractor hoods over welding stations. Fans can be located in the walls of workplace enclosures or robotic painting systems, integrated into the ceiling system or installed close to the floor – depending on which type of emission is to be drawn in from which source.
The closer to the source of emission the polluted exhaust air is drawn in, the lower the energy requirement and operating costs of the exhaust system – and consequently the more favourable the energy balance of the workplace, the room or the entire production hall. Only cleverly designed, flexible and smartly controllable exhaust systems can achieve the required air exchange rate at any workload with minimum energy consumption. Thanks to intelligent air routing, it is even possible to realise different environmental parameters in the same room by individually ventilating each workstation instead of the room itself or by equipping them with exhaust systems. This keeps the costs of ventilation and air conditioning systems low while maintaining high energy efficiency without compromising occupational safety, process reliability, or employee health protection.
Our biomimetically designed fans, combined with the compact, innovative and energy-saving ECblue drives or with robust AC motors in conjunction with our frequency converters for speed control, form completely reliable systems that meet all of the requirements of the Energy Efficiency or Ecodesign Directive (ErP Directive) now and continuing into the future.
ZIEHL-ABEGG fans can be precisely controlled and regulated. For example, so that they can react particularly quickly to fluctuations and be able to work in line with demand at all times. Special designs of the fans and drive and control concepts can also be arranged on request. We would be pleased to advise you personally about the Royal League from ZIEHL-ABEGG or support you with our worldwide unique online tool, FANselect, to help you select and configure suitable fans, motors and control technology.
