Explosion proof surface mount fans provide a number of benefits for the industries that use them for a variety of applications including, but not limited to: clean rooms, marijuana extraction rooms, laboratory hoods, oil refineries, grain mills, chemical plants, welding shops, chemical storage areas and battery changing areas. The construction industry, gymnasiums, underground parking garages and warehouses also greatly benefit from the inclusion of surface mount fans.
The health of thousands is protected every day through the utilization of high quality industrial fans. Surface mounted fans have the ability to be mounted into a wall or ceiling in order to ventilate an area by removing unpleasant odors and harmful gases, and helping cool areas by moving air around. Furthermore, explosion proof construction, which includes non-sparking metal, makes them safe and ideal for the hazardous locations that need them most.
Industrial settings contain various air pollutants, which can jeopardize the health of workers if they are not ventilated properly. Explosion proof surface mount fans can help create a healthy atmosphere by moving air around and out of the area to help remove odors, smoke, gases and other contaminants, replacing them with fresh air.
Explosion proof fans help keep areas cool in place of expensive air-conditioning systems, helping to decrease heat and humidity levels for a more environmentally and health friendly work space. This is especially important in high ceiling spaces – such as gymnasiums, warehouses and processing plants – which put strain on HVAC systems and can benefit from additional ventilation. By keeping air moving, cool and fresh, the health and comfort of workers and customers will be greatly enhanced.
Another benefit of having surface mount fans is the reduction of floor obstructions and hazards. Floor and pedestal fans take up space and are potential tripping hazards in busy areas where people and forklifts are frequently moving about. Wall or ceiling mounted fans are out of the way, while still providing the same benefits.
The most common type of surface mount fans are the louvered or “shutter” fans, and propeller guard fans. Louver fans are designed like window blinds, with metal shutters that open when the fan is turned on and close when it stops. Propeller guard fans simply have a metal guard in front of the fan blades that protecting the propeller from outside damage, and people from being struck by the blades.
These explosion proof fans can enhance the environment in virtually any building, whether it’s a chemical processing plant, or a high school gym. Effective, cheaper than air conditioning, and easy to install, explosion proof surface mount ventilation is really a no-brainer.
