für for light air
Fans made of steel are about twice as heavy as those made of aluminum. It takes more energy to drive a steel fan than an aluminum one. That’s why complete fans or impellers are increasingly being made of aluminum.

Limitless shaping
Limitless shaping
through casting technology
The design freedom offered by aluminum casting allows for ideal aerodynamics in fans. This makes them quiet and vibration-free during operation. Even in harsh environments, fans remain durable, as aluminum is corrosion-resistant.
Characteristics
Characteristics
What are the advantageous properties for aluminum casting's in fan technology?
- Corrosion resistance in polluted air environments
- Low density / weight allows for smaller drives
- Casting solutions are less prone to vibrations and quieter compared to welded construction assemblies
- Precise shaping reduces the effort of balancing
