Control Hire’s 500mm Pneumatic Axial Fan is an intrinsically-safe, compact, high-output ventilation solution designed for demanding underground, industrial, mining, tunnelling and construction environments. Built using Fire Resistant Anti-Static (FRAS) materials, this lightweight pneumatic fan delivers reliable airflow in hazardous areas where electric-powered equipment may not be suitable.
Engineered for auxiliary ventilation, the 500mm pneumatic fan is ideal for delivering fresh air, extracting contaminated air, and supporting confined space ventilation systems on civil infrastructure, tunnelling and underground projects.
The fan’s pneumatic drive system eliminates the need for electrical power at the point of operation, making it suitable for environments where ignition risk, moisture or restricted electrical access are concerns.
Typical Applications
The 500mm Pneumatic Fan is commonly used across:
- Underground mining operations
- Tunnel excavation works
- Civil infrastructure projects
- Confined space ventilation
- Shaft and trench ventilation
- Dust and fume extraction systems
- Welding fume control
- Temporary ventilation during shotcrete works
- Hazardous or explosive environments requiring non-electric ventilation
