You show no track record for marine — can you actually build to this sector?
Straight answer: we do not yet hold a marine and offshore reference we can cite, so we will not claim one. What we do hold is the engineering the sector needs, proven across our fan range in other industries — salt-grade corrosion metallurgy, rigid baseframes for dynamic loads, spark-resistant and ATEX self-declared construction, and emergency high-temperature duty. This is an engineered-capability page: tell us your duty and your class-society scope, and we engineer the fan to it and prove it on the rig. A credible single source names its own boundaries before you discover them.
How do you protect a marine fan against salt corrosion?
We size the metallurgy and the coating to the exposure. On the wetted and salt-exposed surfaces we select 316L stainless or FRP; on structural steel we specify hot-dip galvanising or a marine-grade multi-coat paint system; and we keep sealed, greased-for-life bearings out of the salt air. Plain mild steel can pit and lose coating within 12 to 24 months in a marine atmosphere, which is why the corrosion answer is engineered to your salinity and exposure, not a default. Send us the environment and the class rule and we specify it on the GA drawing you sign off.
The deck rolls, pitches and can shock the machine. How is the fan built for motion?
The baseframe and pedestal are engineered for the class-defined roll, pitch and shock case, not a static landside base. That means a rigid, ribbed structure, anti-vibration mounts and flexible connections where the rules require, locked and marine-rated fasteners, and dynamic balance to ISO 21940 G2.5 (G1.0 on application) so the fan runs smooth while the vessel moves. Give us your class society's motion and shock criteria and we design the mounting and the structure to them.
Our platform has hazardous areas. Can you supply a gas-safe, spark-resistant fan?
Yes, to the area classification you give us. We build spark-resistant construction with non-sparking wheel and inlet-cone material pairings, and ATEX Zone 2/22 is self-declared per 2014/34/EU (Category 3) where the classification calls for it. To be precise, that ATEX declaration is a self-declaration of conformity, not a third-party certification. Tell us the zone, the gas group and the temperature class, and we engineer the construction and the declaration to match.
Do you build emergency smoke and fire fans to a marine fire duration?
Yes. We build emergency smoke-and-fire extraction construction rated to hold flow at high temperature for a class-required duration — commonly 300 °C for 2 hours, or the exact rating and duration your class society specifies. The motor, wheel and construction are selected so the fan keeps moving air when the space it serves is on fire. Give us the class rule and the required temperature-time rating and we engineer to it.
Do you performance-test the fans, and what about AMCA, CE, ATEX and quality certification?
Every fan is performance-tested in-house to the AMCA 210 / ISO 5801 method on our 200 HP VFD test rig, and dynamically balanced to ISO 21940 G6.3 as standard (G2.5 / G1.0 on application), with the test witnessed on request. To be precise: that in-house testing is to the AMCA 210 / ISO 5801 method, not AMCA-certified, and we are not an AMCA member; CE is self-declared per 2006/42/EC and 2014/35/EU, and ATEX Zone 2/22 is self-declared per 2014/34/EU (Category 3) where the area classification calls for it — those are self-declarations of conformity, not third-party certifications. Our only third-party certification is ISO 9001:2015. Class-society approval and witnessing is handled as project-specific scope to your named society.
