FANQUIP has released a new fan technology for handling asbestos and other harmful airborne substances.
The Fanquip Negative Air Filter Fan is suited for applications where airborne contaminants need to be removed, including where feeders and conveyor throw hazardous substances and powders into the air.
According to Fanquip, the Negative Air Filter Fan is configured with a HEPA filter, tested to AS 1324 to achieve minimum efficiency of 99.99%.
The Negative Air filter Fan has a ‘dust load monitoring system’ which notifies the operator when the filter is dirty, via a two-stage alarm and flashing light.
When the unit detects that the filter system is reaching a stage requiring replacement, it will fire the first stage alarm. The stage two alarm warns at the critical stage once the filter has dropped below its rated capacity. This alarm will immobilise the unit for workplace safety.
