Radial fan with direct drive

Thanks to the high level of modularization, we can cater to specific customer requirements and develop tailor-made solutions as a matter of course. Scheuch COMPONENTS offers customized production of radial fans to accommodate special customer requirements. Thanks to our extensive expertise, customers are guaranteed maximum availability and a long service life, regardless of whether the air is carrying chips, fibrous material or aggressive or explosive gas mixtures. As a result of using fans in entire systems, Scheuch COMPONENTS has acquired a wealth of experience with specific requirements in a wide range of sectors and industries. For example, hot gas radial fans for high temperatures or double flow radial fans for large volumetric flows. For systems that need to be cleaned more frequently, SwingOut & PullOut radial-fans can be used.

Radial fans are an indispensable part of most operational processes in ventilation systems. In cases where extremely large volumes need to be moved or transported, or where a critical impeller mass is exceeded, radial fans with bearings at both sides are an ideal choice. This type of equipment is available in single-flow and double-flow versions. However, the robust design of Scheuch COMPONENTS radial fans makes it possible to achieve large volumetric flows even with unilateral bearings (i.e. single-flow systems). Bearings can be provided on both sides if requested by the customer, and this configuration is implemented as standard above a critical impeller mass. With their flow-optimized suction pockets, double-flow radial fans make it possible to create efficient designs for transporting and diverting conveyed media – even when space is tight. Altogether, there are various factors and criteria that make double-flow radial fans a favourable option.

Scheuch customers expect the very best and that is why the SwingOut and PullOut radial fan models have a key advantage over other industrial-grade fans: The impeller can be cleaned in a very short amount of time. As the motor and impeller are both installed on a single door, the entire subassembly can be swung out to the rear. The impeller is therefore easy to clean and can also be removed or replaced quickly if necessary. Even larger fans with an impeller weight of several hundred pounds and an impeller diameter up to 1,250 mm are available. The PullOut model is available for direct-driven, belt-driven and coupling-driven fans. With this type of fan, the impeller is removed from the housing together with the motor bracket and the motor itself, making it again quick and easy to clean.

The radial fan is the core component and driving force of any ventilation system. In this case, the drive takes the form of an elastic coupling acting on the intermediate shaft – without the kind of upstream transmission that would be found on a belt drive. In situations involving larger dimensions, the fan components can be embedded into a concrete foundation instead of a steel bracket. Radial fans with coupling drive can be used in diverse applications across a range of industries and sectors. This type of fan is particularly well suited to situations involving high motor power. The coupling (generally a claw coupling with an elastic insert) can absorb shocks and torsional vibrations, thus protecting the material. Furthermore, an offset (angular, parallel or axial offset) between the motor shaft and intermediate shaft can be compensated to a certain extent, which means that the motor is relatively easy to dismount.
