Thawing meat and vegetables under controlled conditions within 24 hours requires good air circulation in the tempering cell. For a customer, Ventinet supplied four EC axial wall fans to support a controlled thawing process. All four fans were produced and delivered within two weeks.
Controlled Air Circulation During Thawing
When thawing meat and vegetables, it is important that air moves through the tempering cell in the right way. Air circulation needs to suit the process and help limit unwanted temperature differences.
Selecting the right fans therefore involves more than determining the required airflow capacity. The desired airflow pattern through the cell and the ability to control the fans are also important considerations.
Four EC axial wall fans were selected for this application.
Why EC Fans Are Suitable for a Tempering Cell
One key advantage of EC fans is their stepless speed control. This allows the fan output to be adjusted to the needs of the process. It is particularly useful when the required airflow does not remain constant throughout the process.

Energy consumption is another consideration. When a fan can operate at a lower speed, this may reduce energy use compared with running continuously at full output. The actual savings depend on the operating conditions and the control strategy.

The right choice therefore starts with the required air circulation and how the thawing process needs to be controlled. These requirements help determine which fan and specification are the best fit.
Produced and Delivered Within Two Weeks
Alongside the technical requirements, the project schedule was also important. The four fans were needed at short notice.
By acting quickly, we were able to produce and deliver all four fans within two weeks.
This lead time cannot be guaranteed for every model or specification. Availability depends on factors such as the selected model, its specifications and current stock or production capacity. When reviewing a request, we therefore consider both the technical requirements and what is achievable within the required timeframe.
