Written by Lino Di Betta | October 24 2023

Air safety, cleanliness and maintenance are fundamental aspects to ensure a healthy and efficient working environment. On this purpose, the centrifugal fan is an essential tool to be installed in the automotive workshops.

What exactly is a centrifugal aspirator? How to choose the one that suits your needs? In today's article we will try to provide practical advice on how to make the right choice for your workshop.

What is a centrifugal aspirator and what is it used for?

A centrifugal is a system that extracts and expels air, removing particles and fumes in the working environment such as a car workshop. 

In addition, centrifugal extraction system prevent dirt or debris from settling on the vehicles being worked on. This ensures a higher quality of the work and reduces the risk of having to redo the work, wasting time and resources, or making customers unsatisfied. This is crucial to ensure the efficiency and productivity of the workshop.

Nowadays, there are strict regulations regarding air quality and working conditions. Advanced extraction systems help to meet these standards, preventing penalties and helping to consolidate a good corporate image.

Investing in effective extraction system solutions can therefore translate into a significant economic return, through improved working environment, longer tool life and enhanced company reputation.

Factors which have to be considered when buying a centrifugal aspirator

To be functional and effective, the centrifugal extraction system has to fulfil the specific workshop requirements and to meet the needs of technicians and operators.

Capacity and power

The capacity and the power of the extraction system determine how much air the extraction system can handle and how effectively it can remove particles.

Type of filters

Centrifugal extraction system can be equipped with different types of filters, depending on the particles to be removed. For example, HEPA filters can retain very small particles, making them ideal for workshops that produce fine fumes and gases or fine dust.

Maintenance

Ease of maintenance is another key aspect. An extraction system that requires frequent or complex maintenance may not be the best option for a workshop with a high volume of work.

Noise

Some extraction systems can be quite noisy; therefore, if your workshop is located in a residential area or if you wish to maintain a quiet working environment, the choice is most of the cases about low-noise models.

Size and design

The size and design of an extraction systems are crucial elements to consider, especially if you work in a dedicated area or if you need to organize the tools in a specific way.
If the area is small, it may be necessary to opt for a compact model, specifically designed to maximize performance in limited spaces; otherwise, if you are working at different areas inside the workshop or if you need to move the extraction system often, it may be useful to choose a model equipped with wheels or handles. Portability can reduce downtime, making it easier and faster to adapt to different work needs.

In a car workshop, the centrifugal aspirator plays a key role in keeping the working environment clean and safe. Choosing the right model is essential to ensure the health of workers and the longevity of the equipment.

For this reason, it is crucial to work with an experienced supplier who can examine the facility, identify any specific obstacles and requirements, and propose tailor-made solutions.
