The Helios VARD 225/4 Ex is a high-pressure in-line mixed-flow fan designed for use in explosive or hazardous environments, certified to meet ATEX standards. The fan features a cylindrical casing made of pre-galvanised sheet steel with rolled flanges on both ends, conforming to DIN 24155 specifications for dimension and mounting. Integrated guide vanes are included to enhance airflow efficiency.
Its impeller is of mixed-flow design, incorporating eight spatially curved blades made from impact-resistant polymer and dynamically balanced to class G 6.3 as per VDI 20060 and DIN ISO 1940 standards. The fan is driven by a totally enclosed, maintenance-free 3‑phase squirrel cage motor with sealed-for-life, low-noise ball bearings. It is not controllable and is engineered to ensure safe, reliable performance in environments requiring explosion-proof equipment.
