The product range includes:

Belt Driven and Direct Driven Centrifugal Fans

Centrifugal fans move air or other gases using a fan wheel made up of blades or ribs which are mounted around a hub and are used for air conditioning and ventilation technology. The air or gases enter from the side of the fan wheel, turn 90 degrees and accelerate due to centrifugal forces as it flows over the fan blades and exits the fan housing. The majority of systems incorporate a compact base frame that saves time, space, time and money within an air handling unit or any other application. Products include:

• DDM, DD, RZA, RZP, TZA and RZM direct driven fans with flow rates up to 200,000 m3/h and pressure up to 3000 Pa
• SAIR, SAI, AS, ASD, TEA, TEM and REM direct driven fans with flow rates of up to 20,000 m3/h and pressure up to 3000 Pa
• RLM direct driven plug fans with flow rates of up to 100,000 m3/h and pressure up to 1800 PA
• FD fans with flow rates of up to 10,000 m3/h and a pressure up to 750 Pa
• ADH, RDH and RZR belt driven fans with flow rates of up to 300,000 m3/h and pressure up to 3500 Pa
• AT and AS belt driven fans with flow rates of up to 60,000 m3/h and pressure up to 1100 Pa
• ASH, AS, RSH and RER Rotavent belt driven fans with a flow rate of 150,000 m3/h and pressure up to 3500 Pa

Industrial Process Fans with Direct Drive and Belt Drive

Process air fans are essential components within machines and installations. The fans allow functions that would otherwise not be possible without defined air or gas flow. The strong and robust fans have been specially developed for numerous applications and come in several standard ranges which can be tailored to individual requirements. The fans are widely specified for generator cooling, drying agricultural products, ventilation of composting plants, extraction of contaminated air from paint systems and circulation of hot air in industrial furnaces. Customised process air fans are available in addition to the standard ranges and if required, Nicotra Gebhardt can develop a completely new product.

Roof Extract Fans

There is a wide and varied range of roof extract fans for the global market. The fan systems are available for any unique requirements and include many advantages through their diversity such as perfect quality for every roof fan line, a uniform accessory system for all ranges, flexibility for complex applications and fast delivery times. The systems are designed to withstand the rigours of harsh weather conditions, are easy to fit and maintain. Systems are available in RGA and RFM options with horizontal discharge rates of between 14,000 and 35,000 m3/h and the RKA, RKM, RDA, RDM, FDA and KDM options with vertical discharge rates of between 7000 and 35,000 m3/h.

Axial Flow Fans

The axial flow fans range has been designed for low and medium pressure applications such as comfort air engineering, cooling, agriculture and gardening centres. Axial fans have blades which force air to move parallel to the shaft where the blades rotate. Options include fans with flow rates of between 2,500 m3/h to 17,000 m3/h and pressures of between 65 Pa and 140 Pa.

Smoke Extract Fans

Nicotra Gebhardt offers the world’s largest selection of mechanical smoke extraction solutions for an extensive range of applications. The range covers safe smoke solutions from the basement through to the roof. Products include wall, roof, centrifugal, induction jetfans and axial fans.

Cleanroom Systems

Cleanroom applications require the latest and most innovative air conditioning technology which is applicable to the individual facilities and utilities. Filter fan units (FFU’s) are vital in cleanrooms and hundreds or even thousands can be installed in a single facility. The units work together and should one fail, the integrity of the room is not jeopardised. The systems are flexible and can be exchanged with lay-in lights or blank panels or additional FFU’s can be added. Computer controlled management systems can be installed so that units or clusters of units can be remote controlled. With a negative plenum design, the units draw recirculation air from the plenum and if there are any leaks, they migrate to the negative plenum and not the cleanroom. Standard and customised units are available with a range of filter and grid sizes, liquid or gasket seal systems, various air flow and pressure drops, top or bottom load versions and all incorporate minimal vibration and audible noise emissions.

Fans for the Asia Pacific Rim Market

There is a wide range of axial fans for the Asia Pacific Rim markets; these include ADT and ADTA duct axial fans with long cases, ADS short case axial fans and the ADM short case fan with integral inlet cone at suction side. Alternative axial fans include long case, belt drive and motor installed outside the airstream are also available. All fans use IEC standard motors and impellors with either aluminium or reinforced plastic blades.
