Vortice CA MD E RF Roof Fan CA 150 Q MD E RF – Centrifugal Roof Fan with Horizontal Discharge
The Vortice CA MD E RF roof fan CA 150 Q MD E RF is the professional solution for reliable extraction in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As a robust centrifugal roof fan with horizontal air discharge, this series was specifically developed for connection to ventilation ducts with a nominal diameter of 150 mm . It ensures continuous, powerful extraction of stale, humid, or polluted air over the roof.
The casing is made of galvanized sheet steel with a high-quality, corrosion-resistant polyester coating. The weatherproof cowl reliably protects the fan from rain, snow, and extreme weather conditions – guaranteed durable and low-maintenance for outdoor use!
Maximum Performance, Durability & Easy Roof Installation
Whether in apartment buildings, catering facilities, offices, workshops, or warehouses: The Vortice CA MD E RF delivers high pressure performance, allowing it to easily overcome long duct runs. The backward-curved centrifugal impeller guarantees high performance while optimizing noise levels. Thanks to the well-thought-out mounting base, installation on flat or pitched roofs is precise and secure.
Your Benefits at a Glance:
- ✓ Weatherproof Casing: Galvanized sheet steel with baked-on polyester coating for lasting corrosion protection.
- ✓ Horizontal Discharge (RF): Optimized air outlet protects the roof surface and prevents exhaust air backflow.
- ✓ Powerful AC Motor: 2-speed, ball-bearing motor with thermal overload protection for continuous operation.
- ✓ High pressure output: Backward-curved centrifugal impeller moves air reliably even through long duct systems.
- ✓ Speed Controllable: Infinitely variable or 2-speed adjustable via optional controllers / speed switches.
- ✓ Safe Protection Rating: IPX4 splash-water protection for completely reliable operation on the roof.
