The material selection depends on the operating environment of the ventilation system:
PP (Polypropylene) & PE (Polyethylene): Excellent chemical resistance against acid/alkali vapors, ideal for chemical plant exhaust fans and duct fittings.
ABS & PC/ABS Blends: High impact strength and structural rigidity, commonly used for fan housings, impeller blades, and air grilles.
PA66 (Nylon, Glass-Filled): High mechanical strength and heat resistance, suitable for heavy-duty structural brackets and drive components.
PBT / PPO: Outstanding electrical insulation and thermal stability, ideal for motor housings and internal duct sensors.
Industrial air systems must comply with strict fire codes to prevent smoke/fire propagation. We incorporate UL94 V-0 or V-1 grade flame-retardant additives (such as halogen-free or red phosphorus formulations) into engineering resins (e.g., Flame-Retardant ABS or PC/ABS). This ensures self-extinguishability within 10 seconds of flame removal.
Dynamic imbalance in plastic fan impellers leads to severe vibration, noise, and motor fatigue. We address this through:
Precision Mold Engineering: Multi-cavity molds designed with symmetrical runner systems and strict gate positioning to ensure uniform resin density and flow balance.
Tight Mold Tolerances: Maintaining tolerances within ±0.02 mm to ±0.05 mm on critical shaft diameters and blade geometry.
Post-Molding Dynamic Balancing: Utilizing specialized dynamic balancing machines to test and fine-tune T1/production samples down to ISO 1940 G2.5 balance quality grades.
Yes. For outdoor ducting, louvers, and rooftop exhaust cowls, we incorporate UV stabilizers (such as HALS - Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) and carbon black additives during resin compounding. This prevents color fading, surface chalking, micro-cracking, and mechanical embrittlement caused by long-term ultraviolet radiation and weather aging.
Large industrial fan housings or plenum boxes often suffer from sink marks, warpage, and structural weakness. Key DFM design strategies include:
Wall Thickness Uniformity: Maintaining consistent wall thickness (typically 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm) with smooth transitions to avoid differential shrinkage.
Rib Design: Adding structural ribs at 50–60% of the nominal wall thickness to increase load capacity without causing sink marks.
Draft Angles: Applying generous draft angles (1.5° to 3.0°) to facilitate smooth ejection and preserve surface finish.
Moldflow Analysis: Simulating gate location, weld line placement, and volumetric shrinkage prior to steel cutting.
Absolutely. We regularly perform Insert Molding utilizing pre-heated brass (e.g., C3604 Y2 temper) or stainless steel inserts. This combines the lightweight, corrosion-resistant benefits of plastic housings with the high-torque, thread-wear resistance of metal hubs for long-term mechanical reliability.
Every export tooling and production batch undergoes rigid QA processes. We provide:
Material Certification: Mill test certificates and REACH/RoHS compliance reports.
Full Dimensional Inspection: CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) reports verifying key drawing dimensions.
First Article Inspection (FAI): T1 sample measurement reports before mass production release.
Balance & Load Testing: Dynamic balance reports for rotating parts and burst/load pressure reports for pressurized duct connectors.
