Östberg Fans: Superior Technology for Industrial and Hazardous Applications

Östberg, a well-established leader in ventilation solutions, offers a diverse range of fans designed for various industrial and commercial applications. Their product lineup includes in-line duct fans, radial fans, and explosion-proof ATEX-certified fans, all known for their durable construction, energy-saving performance, and compliance with rigorous safety regulations.

Their comprehensive selection of fans is tailored to meet the needs of challenging environments, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and other industrial facilities. Each fan type has specific features to ensure optimal performance, safety, and efficiency.

In-Line Duct Fans

Östberg's in-line duct fans, such as the IRF series, are engineered for high-pressure applications and reliable performance, making them ideal for complex ventilation systems with long duct runs. These fans offer robust airflow capabilities, up to 450 m³/h (0.13 m³/s), while maintaining low noise levels, thanks to their insulated housings. The design not only minimizes noise but also maximizes thermal efficiency, making in-line duct fans suitable for industrial and commercial installations where space is constrained and high-performance airflow is essential.

• High-Pressure Capability: Built to handle high-pressure scenarios, these fans ensure effective ventilation even in complex duct systems.
• Insulated Housing: The insulated design reduces noise levels and enhances energy efficiency, making them ideal for quiet operation environments.
• Versatility: Available with both circular and rectangular connections, these fans are easily integrated into existing ductwork.
• Robust Airflow: With the capability to handle airflows up to 450 m³/h, these fans provide substantial ventilation across various applications.

ATEX-Certified Fans

For environments that require stringent safety measures, Östberg offers ATEX-certified fans, including the RFEX and RFTX radial series and the RKX duct fans. These fans are designed to comply with ATEX standards, making them explosion-proof and safe for use in hazardous locations where flammable gases or dust are present. The radial fans in this range are equipped with non-sparking inlet cones, and the motor is strategically separated from the airstream to enhance safety and prevent potential ignition sources.

• Compliance with ATEX Standards: The RFEX and RFTX series meet stringent ATEX certification requirements, ensuring they are explosion-proof and suitable for hazardous environments.
• Non-Sparking Inlet Cone: Constructed from copper, this feature prevents sparking, which is crucial in environments with explosive risks.
• Motor Placement: The strategic separation of the motor from the airstream minimizes the risk of combustion.
• High-Quality Motors: These fans are available with robust AC motors that operate effectively at voltages ranging from 220-240 V and frequencies of 50/60 Hz, ensuring reliable performance.

ATEX Duct Fans with Rectangular Connections

The RKX series represents a significant refinement in Östberg’s ATEX-certified fan lineup, featuring duct fans with rectangular connections. These fans are designed for a wide range of ducting applications and come equipped with a high-quality ATEX-approved motor that adds an extra layer of safety, ensuring safe operation in environments prone to explosive atmospheres.

• Refined Design: The RKX series enhances the basic RK range, offering more robust and safer options for duct ventilation.
• Non-Sparking Copper Construction: The copper components further ensure the fan’s explosion-proof characteristics.
• Swing-Out Design: This feature simplifies maintenance and cleaning, making the RKX series both safe and user-friendly.
• Airflow Capacity: The RKX series supports airflows up to 4,961 m³/h (1.38 m³/s), demonstrating robust performance in various ventilation applications.

The Nexus of Safety, Efficiency, and Reliability

Östberg fans, including in-line duct, radial, and ATEX-certified models, are widely recognized by industry professionals and engineers for their outstanding efficiency, safety, and reliability. These fans are engineered to deliver high airflow rates while minimizing energy consumption, with certain models operating on as little as 41 W under standard conditions. This combination of high performance and low energy use makes them a cost-effective choice for industries looking to reduce energy expenses without compromising safety or operational efficiency.

Östberg fans are not just built to move air; they are designed to excel in the most demanding environments, from industrial plants to hazardous zones where explosion risks are a concern. Their robust, innovative solutions ensure both safety and efficiency, offering reliable and effective air movement solutions across a wide range of applications.
