The Helios VARD 280/2 Ex is a high-pressure in-line mixed-flow fan designed for operation in hazardous environments, compliant with ATEX explosion-proof standards. It features a cylindrical casing constructed from pre-galvanised sheet steel, equipped with rolled flanges on both ends, conforming to DIN 24155 specifications. Guide vanes are incorporated to enhance airflow efficiency.
The fan includes a mixed-flow impeller with eight spatially curved blades made from impact-resistant polymer, dynamically balanced to class G 6.3 according to VDI 20060 and DIN ISO 1940 standards. Powered by a totally enclosed, maintenance-free 3‑phase squirrel cage motor with sealed-for-life low-noise ball bearings, the unit is not controllable but ensures safe, reliable ventilation in explosion-risk zones.
