Production Facilities
Wide range of options
While a complete ventilation system is essential across all industries, each application presents its own specific challenges. Production facilities may need to control chemical emissions, manage high temperatures or supply large volumes of clean air to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Agressive media & high temperatures
Some production facilities operate in highly corrosive environments as part of their daily activities, for example due to the presence of chemical vapours or processes involving high temperatures. These aggressive conditions require robust and reliable ventilation solutions. In such environments, an effective extraction system is essential, incorporating fans and air distribution products specifically designed to withstand corrosive atmospheres and certified for operation in explosive environments.

Centrifugal Fans
Explosion-proof and aggressive-media-resistant fans like the PRF-EX provide secure extraction and can be paired with silencers to keep low noise levels.
Air Volume Control
Air volume control products, such as OPTIMA-R-FC-EX, adjust the supply or extract airflow according to the real needs of the space and can be supplied in explosion-proof versions
Grilles
Before reaching the fan, the airstream is routed through galvanised NOVA-C grilles, ensuring safe and controlled capture of contaminants at the source.
Limited space
Some industrial buildings, including production areas and warehouses, face space constraints that make duct installation impractical. In such cases, ductless ventilation solutions provide an efficient and flexible alternative. Systemair offers dedicated fans and air handling units designed to meet these spatial requirements without compromising performance.
Industrial spaces, particularly warehouse areas, also experience frequent door traffic, which can negatively impact indoor climate conditions. Air curtains help reinforce the climate barrier by reducing energy losses and maintaining thermal comfort, supported by intelligent controls that optimise performance with minimal intervention.

Roofline air handling unit
When ductwork is not an option, Roofline air handling unit can be directly installed.
Air Curtains
And just like in production areas, warehouses experience constant traffic through doors. Air curtains again strengthen the climate shield. Frico’s Pamir 5000 uses Thermozone technology to maintain an energy-efficient barrier, supported by intelligent controls that fine-tune comfort with minimal effort.

Limited space
In some industrial applications, the size of the facility and variations in outdoor temperatures can present significant challenges for production processes. This was the case at the LEGO factory in Monterrey, Mexico. Covering 100,000 m², the facility requires strict control of humidity and temperature to ensure consistent manufacturing quality.
Systemair developed a ventilation solution based on high volumes of fresh air to reliably manage Monterrey’s extreme seasonal temperatures, ranging from around 0°C in winter to up to 42°C in summer. A total of 27 Geniox air handling units were supplied, with airflows ranging from 1,400 m³/h to 40,000 m³/h, along with 1,000 fire dampers.
Clean rooms
Clean rooms in laboratories must meet the highest hygiene standards to ensure the reliability and integrity of sensitive testing processes. Selecting the right equipment is therefore essential, particularly hygienic air handling units that guarantee indoor air quality free from viruses, bacteria and mould. However, hygiene does not depend only on the air handling unit. Air distribution components play an equally critical role in maintaining controlled and sterile environments.
For the KRKA laboratory in Slovenia, Systemair supplied CFC-A Clean Filtering Cassettes with H14 HEPA filters for both supply and extract air in laboratory areas, including cleanrooms. The product was selected for its high-efficiency filtration performance, compliance with VDI 6022 hygiene requirements, cleanroom classification in accordance with ISO 14644-1, and airtightness class L1 according to EN 1886:2007 – ensuring clean, sterile air in controlled zones.
