Fanquip has developed a new fan technology with safety monitoring system for use when handling asbestos and other harmful airborne substances.
The Fanquip Negative Air Filter Fan is fitted with a failsafe dust load monitoring system that notifies the operator when the filter is dirty. It does so by means of two-stage alarm and flashing light.
The first stage alarm is activated when the filter system is reaching a stage where its replacement is required.
The stage-two alarm warns at the critical stage once the filter has dropped below its rated capacity. When the alarm sounds again, the unit will be immobilised for total workplace safety.
Configured with an HEPA filter, the fan is tested to AS 1324 to achieve minimum efficiency of 99.99 per cent and operates on a 240-volt, 10 amp, and 3-pin plug electrical system.
