Summary of Have you ever seen a fan resistant to dust and water?
Sunon introduced a new IP68-protected fan series with full motor coating and an automatic dust-removal mechanism, increasing durability in dusty, corrosive, or wet environments. Models endure 60 minutes submerged at 1 m depth, come in sizes 80x80x25 mm, 80x80x38 mm, and 90x90x25 mm, use two ball bearings, and include GExxxx/GFxxxx markings. Stocked types: GF80251B1-AE9 (80x25, 12VDC, 3.96W, 101.9 m3/h) and GE80252B1-AE9 (80x25, 24VDC, 4.8W, 101.9 m3/h); other variants available on request.
Parts used in the Sunon IP68 fan series project:
- Sunon IP68-protected fan (GExxxx or GFxxxx series)
- Coated motor (high-tech protective coating)
- Automatic dust removal mechanism
- Two ball bearings (per fan)
- 80x80x25 mm fan housing
- 80x80x38 mm fan housing
- 90x90x25 mm fan housing
- GF80251B1-AE9 model (80x25, 12VDC, 3.96W, 101.9 m3/h)
- GE80252B1-AE9 model (80x25, 24VDC, 4.8W, 101.9 m3/h)
New series of Sunon fans with IP68 protection brings reliability even to conditions, where a usual fan doesn´t withstand too long…Still more noise and vibrations and in extreme case even a total malfunction – this is a typical “end” of the fan after a long-time operation in a dusty or corrosive environment. In a usual dry and relatively clean environment, this scenario is not that dramatic and high-quality fans hold on to work for many years without problems. However, it can be also said, that common industrial environment is quite far from an ideal = clean one.
So, which fan to use?
The first good advice might be to use a quality fan, for example from companies Sunon or EBM-Papst. Company Sunon this time declares, that they shifted a level of lifetime and durability a step higher… They “wrapped” all the motor into a „high-tech“ coating and incorporated a mechanism for automatic dust removal from a motor part.
And the result?
The fan works reliably even after a 60 minute ingress into water and into 1m depth. That´s only a small example demonstrating features of the new series with IP68 protection. New series carry GExxxx or GFxxxx marking and they´re available in three sizes – 80x80x25mm, 80x80x38mm and 90x90x25mm. All types are equipped by two ball bearings.
