Fume extraction fan series 

Industrial fume extraction requires precise engineering and reliable execution. CBI supports plant engineers, EPC contractors and industrial operators worldwide with fully customized solutions.

Engineered characteristics for harsh industrial extraction

CBI fume extraction fans are developed to operate continuously in chemically aggressive and mechanically demanding industrial environments. Each unit is custom-developed starting from detailed process data, including fluid composition, temperature profile, dust concentration and installation constraints, ensuring accurate material selection and structural dimensioning.

CBI industrial extraction fans integrate:

• fully custom-tailored design developed through automated engineering processes;

• CFD-based aerodynamic optimisation and FEM structural verification;

• Heavy Duty construction approach when increased mechanical strength is required;

• complete lifecycle support including commissioning assistance, revamping, spare parts management, predictive maintenance and global on-site intervention.

Fans installed since the 1980s are still in operation, demonstrating long-term durability in severe industrial applications.

Industrial fumes handled

CBI fume extraction fans are suitable for processes involving:

• chemically aggressive gases

• acidic vapours generated by treatment lines;

• contaminated exhaust streams;

• airflows containing solid particulates;

• high-temperature process emissions.

Each configuration is defined to ensure operational continuity, controlled containment and structural stability under sustained exposure.

Special executions for corrosive industrial environments

CBI centrifugal fans are configured through a process-driven engineering methodology that starts from detailed operating data and translates them into precise mechanical and material solutions.

Depending on the selected series and application context, CBI provides engineered special executions such as:

Polypropylene is never treated as a generic material alternative, but as a dedicated construction execution applied where severe chemical exposure demands it.

This integrated engineering methodology guarantees technical coherence from aerodynamic design to material selection, ensuring long-term operational reliability in aggressive industrial extraction contexts.

Industrial sectors of application

CBI industrial fume extraction fans are installed in sectors where corrosion resistance and operational reliability are critical:

• chemical and petrochemical plants;

• surface treatment and pickling lines;

• waste treatment facilities;

• industrial production processes generating chemically aggressive emissions;

• paint booths and OEM-integrated machinery.

Each solution is engineered according to sector-specific regulatory frameworks and operational standards.

CBI: Your industrial fume extraction fans manufacturer

As an Italian industrial fan manufacturer, CBI delivers engineered extraction solutions developed for sustained operation in aggressive industrial environments.

Unlike suppliers focused solely on performance data, CBI integrates design, manufacturing, validation, servicing, revamping and spare parts management entirely in-house. This vertically integrated structure reduces technical inconsistencies, shortens intervention times and ensures full control over the entire lifecycle of industrial fume extraction equipment.

When corrosion resistance, structural robustness and customised engineering are decisive factors, CBI stands as a trusted industrial manufacturer for demanding fume extraction applications worldwide.
