Plastic Fans

All our Durafan fans are suitable for external installation. They are fitted with a minimum motor terminal enclosure of IP55 as standard to protect against dust and projected water.

Single phase motors need to operate at 75% of the full load current to limit the excess power being dissipated as heat. This is one of the main causes of motor failure.

At APMG Plastics we supply the fan motor based on the specified duty supplied by the client. However, in reality design duty and the actual duty achieved following installation are seldom the same.

To mitigate any problems and prevent potential motor burn out we always recommend sizing the motor at the top end of its capability. This can also future-proof an installation as your requirements change. APMG Plastics does not recommend or warrant single phase motors.

APMG Plastics recommends fitting a three-phase motor and installing a single-phase input to a three phase output speed controller.

You will need to know the air volume, system resistance and electrical supply. You will also need to provide a brief description of your application to ensure you receive precisely the correct fan for your project.

Let APMG Plastics support you with this task – we’re recommending fans for different projects on a daily basis. You can contact one of our experienced team members to discuss your application.

Unfortunately, increasing fan speed does not necessarily equal additional air volume. This can result in exceeding the full load current of the motor and subsequent failure of the system.

APMG Plastics does NOT recommend increasing the speed of the fan. Consult our technical department and let us guide you to the correct solution.

Flexible connections accommodate any misalignment of ductwork and prevent external forces acting on the plastic fan case.

APMG Plastics always recommends fitting inlet and outlet flexibles to all our fans.

All APMG Plastics Durafan fans undergo a mechanical test conducted by an experienced fan engineer to check clearances and motor operation. When a unit is dispatched from our factory you can have confidence that it has been meticulously quality controlled.

Yes, APMG Plastics supplies and manufactures an extensive range of PVC and polypropylene ductwork to suit our customers’ needs. We can manufacture both standard and bespoke ductwork to accommodate the most demanding of specifications, just contact our friendly sales engineers to discuss your requirements.

Anti-vibration mounts are flexible supports that reduce the amount of noise and vibration that pass to a fan’s base.

Some manufacturers will charge extra for anti-vibration mounts. Because we recognise the protection they offer our units, APMG Plastics is happy to supply them as standard.
