Fan monitoring for maximum process reliability

HLU smartControl

Efficient, predictive maintenance of your fans

Many industrial processes require reliable exhaust-air systems to ensure safe and efficient operations. If a fault is not detected in time can cause production downtime and significant consequential costs. With HLU smartControl keeps you up to date with the status of your fans and can act proactively rather than reactively.

HLU smartControl is the innovative solution for condition monitoring and maintenance optimisation of plastic fans. State-of-the-art sensor technology records and analyses operating conditions in real time, visualising them as clear trend lines.
This enables early detection of critical conditions and prevents costly breakdowns.

Functions and technical details

HLU smartControl continuously collects measurement data directly at the fan, including:

Temperatures: exhaust air, motor and bearing temperature
Volume flow rate and pressure: ensuring constant performance values
Vibration monitoring: early detection of bearing damage
Motor data: frequency, current consumption and rotational speed
PID control: automatic adjustment of the volume flow rate to demand
Trend analysis: long-term recording for performance monitoring

Thanks to predefined limit values tailored to the specific fan, any deviation is immediately detected and reported.

Smart features for easy use

Plug & play: preconfigured and ready to use immediately
Password-protected access: two user profiles with different permissions (standard user, admin)
Automatic alerts: immediate notification in the event of limit violations
Real-time data & long-term evaluation: all data are available for analysis at any time
Remote monitoring possible: integration into the BMS for central control of all fans

Typical application areas of HLU smartControl

In areas such as research, medicine, laboratory technology and food production, the necessity for precise airflow and reliable fan monitoring is crucial. HLU smartControl ensures demand-driven control, continuous data acquisition and predictive maintenance to guarantee efficient, trouble-free operation.

Science and research

Stable airflow is essential for conducting precise experiments and maintaining consistent laboratory conditions.
HLU smartControl reliably monitors critical parameters such as airflow and ensures that the fan is operated in line with demand and energy efficiently by the EC motor.

Laboratory and research facilities

Research laboratories work with sensitive chemicals, biological samples and highly reactive substances.
Controlled exhaust-airflow is critical to prevent contamination of the surroundings and to ensure personnel safety.
The HLU smartControl ensures precise control of the fans and provides continuous data on the operating status to ensure optimal functionality.

Medical and hygiene sector

It is essential that the air quality in operating theatres, clean rooms and hygienic production environments meets the highest standards.
HLU smartControl continuously monitors fan performance and detects changes or disturbances at an early stage. This enables proactive maintenance before critical breakdowns occur.

Food industry

In food production, exhaust systems play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with hygiene and safety standards.
HLU smartControl optimises airflow and reduces energy consumption through demand-oriented fan control. This enables proactive maintenance before critical breakdowns occur.
