PLASTIC AIR HANDLING UNITS (AHU)

Our central AHUs made of plastic are the optimum solution for industrial ventilation systems that are exposed to aggressive gases, chemically contaminated air or corrosive media.
From laboratories and the chemical industry to electroplating factories - our air handling units reduce operating costs and ensure energy-efficient ventilation with modern heat recovery (HR).

Sustainability & environmental protection – responsibility for the future

Our energy efficient central AHUs actively contribute to environmental protection by reducing energy consumption, minimising emissions and saving resources. By using highly efficient heat recovery systems, the available exhaust air heat is optimally utilised, resulting in heating and cooling energy savings.

The corrosion-resistant plastic construction also ensures a longer lifetime of the systems, reducing material wear and avoiding unnecessary replacement costs. As a result, our systems contribute not only to cost efficiency but also to the sustainable use of resources.

Sound protection – quiet operation for more comfort

Our central AHUs are equipped with sound attenuation systems that significantly reduce the noise level in ventilation systems with medium to large flow rates. The customised splitter sound attenuators are precisely aligned with the volume flow and desired sound reduction values. They are also suitable for moist exhaust air and can be easily cleaned with water jets or cleaning solutions.

Energy efficient fans optionally available with EC technology

To maximise energy savings, our central AHUs are equipped with highly efficient fans.

✔ High efficiency & low energy consumption through speed-controlled drives.
✔ Optional seamless adjustment of the volume flow for demand-oriented operation.
✔ Longer lifetime & low maintenance costs due to wear-resistant technology.

Our air handling units made of plastic with heat recovery significantly enhance the energy efficiency of your ventilation system.

✔ Plastic heat exchanger for aggressive exhaust air – No corrosion, long lifetime
✔ Reduction of operating costs – Up to 70% energy saving through heat recovery
✔ Optimal energy efficiency in industrial exhaust air systems – Lower heating and cooling costs
✔ Heat recovery system cleaning without system shutdown

Our plastic fans with optional EC technology ensure optimal air flow in aggressive, chemically laden exhaust air systems. Reliable and economical operation is ensured through the combination of corrosion-resistant materials, energy efficient drives and modern sensor technology.

✔ Plastic fans for aggressive exhaust air – Corrosion-free, durable and ideal for industrial exhaust air systems
✔ High failure safety – Vibration monitoring as well as measurement and control of the air volume for safe operation
✔ Energy efficient through EC technology – Continuously variable speed control for demand-led air delivery and reduced operating costs

Our central AHUs are equipped with a high-quality filter technology that reliably separates contaminants, toxic dust and aerosols. Different filters are used depending on the requirements. Compact filters or pocket filters provide optimal air quality while maintaining high energy efficiency.

Our splitter sound attenuators ensure an effective sound level reduction. The dimensions of the splitter sound attenuators are precisely calculated based on the volume flow and the desired sound attenuation level. This guarantees an effective sound level reduction in air handling technology systems with medium to large flow rates.

Redundant fans ensure that the system remains fully operational even in the event of possible fan failure.

Construction

Why plastic? - stable, corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain

Our central AHUs made of plastic are specifically designed for demanding exhaust air systems in aggressive, chemically laden environments. The cellular sheets construction provides a high level of stability combined with low weight, while the totally sealed construction guarantees safe and efficient airflow.

The smooth, seamless surfaces offer several advantages: they prevent deposits, minimise the maintenance effort and eliminate the risk of hidden corrosion, as there are no sensitive coatings. As a result the systems are particularly hygienic, durable and easy to clean.

A further significant construction feature is the gas-tight processing of all dampers, doors and feedthroughs. Ensuring no contaminated air escapes uncontrollably. The optimised airflow with minimal air resistance further enhances energy efficiency and reduces pressure losses.

For easy installation and maintenance, our AHU are equipped with clamping profilesenabling quick installation and flexible adjustments. The doors can be opened in both directions or removed completely thanks to the locking hinges, which significantly facilitates maintenance work. Additionally, the robust plastic construction allows for wet cleaning with a water jet or cleaning solutions without the risk of material wear or corrosion.
