Thermal food processing technology is used in a wide variety of equipment for meat and fish processing, convenience food production, and frozen food preservation. In addition to precisely matched ventilation operating points, fluctuating temperature requirements and low energy consumption, fans and blowers for food processing plants must also meet the highest hygiene standards. Typical industrial food processing equipment includes industrial baking ovens, shock freezers, smokehouses, maturing and post-maturing systems, dehydration systems and more.

Industrial Food Processing Fan Wheels
The Industrial Food Processing fan wheels meet the technical requirements in the thermal treatment and processing of foodstuffs to the highest degree, among other things with regard to the specifications for energy efficiency in accordance with the ErP Directive. The fan wheels, which were specially developed for industrial food processing, cover a wide range of aerodynamic working areas with a high power density. Depending on the selected manufacturing material (stainless steel, aluminum), it is optimally suited for use in clean air as well as air containing dust and grease, such as in smokehouses, blast freezers, cooking and smoking cabinets, maturing and post-maturing systems, and also industrial baking ovens. Thanks to its compact design, the use of Industrial Food Processing fan wheels supports the development of space-saving equipment, enabling further reduction of the environmental footprint. From medium to large series, punker has been delivering reliably and quickly to leading plant manufacturers in the food processing sector for decades.
Benefits
Competitive advantage through energy-efficient systems with potential to reduce operating costs
The particularly high efficiency of the fan wheels enables compliance with current and future ErP regulations.
Long-life, resource-saving fan impeller with low service requirement
thanks to corrosion-resistant aluminum that can withstand even the lowest temperatures and robust, cycle-tested design.
More space for core equipment function
Thanks to the high power density and narrow blade width, maximum volume flow can be achieved with minimum installation space.
Best possible utilization of system components
as the wide characteristic curve of the fan impeller allows optimum matching to the operating conditions.
Suitable for food processing at extreme temperatures while meeting high hygiene requirements
Welded fan wheels have almost no gaps, corrosion-resistant material 1.4301 for use at high temperatures.

Case Study: Blower units for commercial ovens and rack ovens
Our customer has been using punker fan wheels in the blowers for their technologically leading bakery lines and in-store baking stations since the 1960s/1970s. After the customer consulted us in 2013 regarding occurring imbalances in the circulating units used in rack ovens, punker has since been responsible for assembling 700 blower units per year and procuring the required motors for the customer. In this way, the customer has been able to significantly reduce its complaint costs.
