Drive types of the Zenner
industrial fans.

Our Zenner centrifugal fans are manufactured exclusively as welded sheet steel constructions and can be driven directly, via a coupling or a V-belt.
All our fans in the basic range are available in numerous design variants.



Direct-driven fans

Impeller is located directly on the motor shaft, direct drive.

Aerodynamic types

Zenner distinguishes between three different aerodynamic types, which are, however, identical or similar in design.

VRZ - Zenner centrifugal fans

  • Goal of the VRZ series: high efficiency with clean and low-dust gases
  • 34 basic aerodynamic types, 17 impeller diameters each
  • With standard asynchronous motors, frequency converters and possible impeller modification, we offer for every operating point that lies within the VRZ characteristic field, a fan with maximum efficiency (if necessary without speed adjustment).

Application limits VRZ:

  • Volume flow: from 70 m3/h to 207,000 m3/h
  • Total pressure increase: from 50 Pa to 29,000 Pa
  • Temperature of the pumped medium: from -20°C to +800°C
  • Type of medium to be pumped: all gases and gas mixtures with the exception of some toxic, chemically aggressive as well as explosive gases,
    which belong to extreme explosion groups and temperature classes
  • Explosion protection ATEX is covered by special fans
  • Ambient temperature: from -20°C to +40°C or on request
  • Vibration stress: for the contractually agreed areas of application
  • Solids content: no solids for all VRZ impellers, selected VRZ impellers up to 20g dust per m3 air
  • Operating mode: Continuous operation, unless otherwise agreed

VTZ - Zenner transport fans

  • Aim of the VTZ series: reliable transport of solids
  • 14 basic aerodynamic types, 17 impeller diameters each
  • Use of standard asynchronous motors and frequency converters as well as impeller modification
    possible in order to achieve optimum and customer-specific operating points in the VTZ characteristic diagram (if necessary also without speed adjustment).

Application limits VTZ:

  • Volume flow: from 70 m3/h to 66,300 m3/h
  • Total pressure increase: from 50 Pa to 18,900 Pa
  • Temperature of the pumped medium: from -20°C to +350°C
  • Type of fluid: all gases and gas mixtures with the exception of some toxic,
    chemically aggressive as well as explosive gases belonging to extreme explosion groups and temperature classes.
  • Explosion protection ATEX: covered with special fans.
  • Ambient temperature: from -20°C to +40°C or on request.
  • Vibration stress: for the contractually agreed areas of application
    Solids content: generally up to 200g dust per m3 air for other or more material.
  • Use of special or ripping fans
  • Operating mode: Continuous operation, unless otherwise agreed

VUZ – Free-running circulation fans

  • For installation in air handling units that haetheir own enclosed housing, for example as a recirculation fan in industrial ovens and drying systems.
  • Equipping the impellers with a multi-diffuser to reduce energy consumption
  • 8 aerodynamic types, 17 impeller diameters each
  • Use of standard asynchronous motors and frequency converters as well as impeller
    modification possible to ensure optimum and customer-specific operating points VUZ characteristic diagram.

Application limits VUZ:

  • Volume flow: from 30 m3/h to 130,000 m3/h
  • pressure increase: from 50 Pa to 13,500 Pa
  • Temperature of the pumped medium: from -20°C to +800°C
  • Type of fluid: all gases and gas mixtures with the exception of some toxic, chemically aggressive as well as explosive gases belonging to extreme explosion groups and temperature classes.
  • Explosion protection ATEX: covered with special fans.
  • Ambient temperature: from -20°C to +40°C or on request.
  • Vibration stress: for the contractually agreed areas of use
  • Solids impurities: no solids for all VUZ impellers selected VUZ impellers
    up to 20g dust per m3 air
  • Operating mode: Continuous operation, unless otherwise agreed
