Filterfans give much increased airflow in IP55 environments
The latest fourth generation of Pfannenberg's Filterfan, with free airflows ranging from 25 m3/h to 925 m3/h, is the latest update to a concept originally invented by the company as long ago as 1958. Uniquely in this market, the new design uses a pleated fabric filter and a sophisticated louvre profile to give a significantly higher airflow at IP55 than was achieved by the previous version at IP54; filter life is also three times longer. The un...
