Portable blowers supplement air supply when needed
Whether in confined spaces or large open areas, portable purging fans (photo) can extract any residual toxic air and safely direct it into a capture hood for safe disposal or treatment.
With chemical toxicity often undetectable by the human senses, these portable units — available in either electric-drive motors or gasoline-powered — serve those industries dependent on fresh air supply to safeguard employees in workshops, worksites or even in remote and semi-remote locations. Apart from removing toxic fumes, this equipment is manufactured for general applicability in supplying clean air, as an air-pressure supply source, as a ventilator in confined space, and for general air-flow maintenance duties. Electric-powered units have a motor speed of 2,880 rpm and are available in two diameters, 160 or 200 mm. The 160-mm dia. versions have 0.55-kW power operations capable of moving 450 L/s of air. All 200-mm dia. models have 1.50-kW power and move 890 L/s of air. — Fanquip, Singleton, NSW, Australia
