CK1656-53 - Plymovent SF2400 Stationary Welding Fume Extraction Fan, 2HP 3-Phase

Industrial-Grade Fume Extraction Power

The Plymovent SF2400 Fan (SKU: CK1656-53) is a high-performance stationary extraction unit engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial welding and fabrication environments. Designed to serve as the core component of a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system, this fan provides the necessary static pressure and airflow to effectively capture and transport welding fumes, oil mist, and dry dusts away from the operator's breathing zone. The unit features a robust metal housing, distinguishing it from plastic alternatives and ensuring superior resistance to impact, heat, and mechanical wear typical in heavy manufacturing facilities.

At the heart of the SF2400 is a powerful 2 HP (approximately 1.5 kW) induction motor. This 3-phase motor is configurable for multiple voltage inputs, including 230V and 400V (often adaptable to 460V systems depending on wiring configuration), making it versatile for various industrial power grids. The 3-phase operation ensures balanced power consumption, reduced vibration, and a longer service life compared to single-phase counterparts, particularly under continuous duty cycles. The fan assembly typically includes a spark-proof impeller, a critical safety feature when handling potentially volatile welding particulates or grinding sparks, reducing the risk of ignition within the ductwork.

Installation of the SF2400 is designed to be flexible. It is commonly mounted directly to a wall bracket or a column, serving as the suction source for a connected extraction arm or a small central ducting network. The fan's inlet and outlet flanges are standardized to fit common industrial duct sizes, facilitating seamless integration into existing MRO setups. Maintenance personnel will appreciate the accessible motor housing and the durable finish that resists corrosion. Whether used for a single high-capacity station or a multi-point system, the SF2400 delivers reliable air movement, ensuring compliance with occupational safety standards regarding air quality and particulate exposure.
