Europ-Plast - Europplast VCPA315 Centrifugal extraction fan

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in food processing facilities for extracting fumes and vapours from cooking areas, fryers, and processing lines.
• Suitable for ventilation in chemical storage areas within food plants, handling corrosive air streams.
• Integrated into waste management systems for odour control and air purification.
• Applied in sanitation areas to remove moisture and chemical fumes from cleaning processes.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, airflow rates typically range from 2,000 to 10,000 m³/h, depending on impeller design and motor size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with motor ratings typically from 2.2kW to 11kW.

Construction material

Often constructed from chemical-resistant plastics such as polypropylene (PP) or PVC for the casing and impeller, suitable for corrosive environments.

Drive type

Direct drive assemblies are common, offering a compact design and reduced maintenance compared to belt-driven units.

Inlet/Outlet diameters

Typically, inlet and outlet diameters range from 250mm to 500mm, designed to integrate with standard ducting systems.

Operating temperature

Generally designed for continuous operation in air streams up to 60-70°C, depending on the specific plastic used.
