These electrically powered Tornado Blowers are made for the most demanding uses, and they have explosion proof or totally enclosed fan cooled motors.They are used for ventilation of tanks, manholes, process vessels and similar confined spaces. They can also be used for cooling or drying applications.
- Design: Non-explosion proof Tornado Blowers have a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor. Explosion Proof motors are certified for NEMA Class 1, Div. 1, Group D & Class II, Group E, F, & G hazardous areas. All 115v-230v motors have a built-in switch for turning the units on and off. They also have a switch to easily convert the motor from 115 volt to 230 volt capability. All units are fully assembled when shipped from the factory. They are ready to use right out of the box. All units come with 25 feet of electrical cable rated for “Extra Hard Use”. Units with TEFC motors have weatherproof plugs, and EXP (Explosion Proof) units have explosion proof plugs that conform to NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines.
- Applications:
- Oil & Gas Industries: Used in refineries, offshore platforms, and petrochemical plants where flammable gases are present.
- Chemical Processing Plants: Provides safe ventilation in areas handling volatile chemicals.
- Mining Operations: Helps remove hazardous fumes and maintain air quality underground.
- Power Plants & Energy Facilities: Ensures proper ventilation in explosive environments.
- Paint Booths & Coating Facilities: Reduces the risk of ignition by controlling hazardous fumes and dust.
- Confined Spaces: Ideal for ventilating tunnels, tanks, and enclosed workspaces with limited airflow.
- Materials: Fan Blades are made of steel (Coated or Stainless Steel) for durable and resistant to wear in harsh conditions. Housing and frame are made of cast aluminum or steel making them explosion-proof and impact-resistant for hazardous environments. They are powder-coated or Galvanized which prevents corrosion in extreme conditions.
- Configurations:110V or 220 Single Phase V with an Explosion-proof motor or Totally enclosed fan cooled motor
