Direct Drive Centrifugal Fan

The direct drive sheet metal centrifugal fan is a type of fan in which the motor is directly integrated into the fan housing. It is made of sheet metal and provides radial airflow. These fans are widely used in industrial ventilation, smoke extraction, dust collection, and cooling systems due to their ability to generate high-pressure airflow.

Features

• Radial (Centrifugal) Airflow: Air is directed outward after entering the impeller blades.

• Direct Drive Design: The motor is directly connected to the fan housing without requiring a belt drive system.

• Sheet Metal Construction: Manufactured from durable materials such as galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel (DKP), or stainless steel.

• High-Pressure Operation: Provides higher pressure compared to axial fans, enabling long-distance air transport.

• Various Motor Powers and Sizes: Available from 0.25 kW up to 30 kW.

• Compact and Durable: Resistant to harsh industrial environments and high temperatures.

• Low Maintenance Requirement: Direct drive structure reduces maintenance compared to belt-driven systems.

• Different Impeller Types: Available with forward-curved, flat, or backward-curved blades.

Applications

• Industrial ventilation (factories, workshops, warehouses, tunnels)

• Dust and particle collection systems (filter units, sawdust extraction)

• Smoke and gas extraction systems (fire exhaust fans, boiler room ventilation)

• Machine and equipment cooling (generators, transformers, compressors)

• Agriculture and livestock (greenhouses, poultry ventilation)

Advantages

• Higher Efficiency → Minimal power loss thanks to direct motor connection.

• Low Maintenance → No wear-prone belt and pulley systems.

• Long-Lasting and Durable → Strong sheet metal housing suitable for heavy industrial use.

• High-Pressure Performance → Suitable for long duct systems and confined spaces.
