The Air Systems International 8-Inch Steel Axial Blower Canister Fan Family provides a heavy-duty, maximum-durability ventilation solution for demanding industrial jobsites. Unlike standard plastic-bodied models, the headlining SVF-15ACAN series features a rugged, powder-coated steel housing engineered to withstand structural impacts in tough work areas. By interlocking a high-performance 8" steel fan directly with a protective polyethylene duct canister, this family ensures your ventilation hoses stay protected, tangle-free, and ready for swift field deployment.
Whether you require a standard layout for municipal vaults or a fully static-dissipative, conductive setup for hazardous, explosion-proof environments, this premium family offers configurations across various lengths to maximize air purging on your job site.
1. Standard Steel Canister Fan Series (Non-Hazardous Locations)
Constructed with a heavy-duty steel fan body and paired with a high-impact polyethylene orange storage canister, the standard series includes a lightweight, flexible vinyl-coated polyester duct. It is optimized for industrial plants, boiler maintenance, and construction work.
SVF-6ACAN - The most compact configuration in the steel-body lineup. Bundles the 115V AC fan with 6 feet of premium 8-inch flexible ducting.
SVF-15ACAN - The industry standard. Combines the robust steel fan with a 15-foot integrated ducting canister.
SVF-25ACAN - Built for extended reach into deeper vaults and manholes, packing 25 feet of flexible 8-inch ducting into an elongated canister setup.
2. Conductive / Explosion-Proof Series (Hazardous Locations)
Engineered strictly for Class I (Groups C & D) and Class II (Groups E, F, & G) hazardous spaces where volatile vapors, combustible dust, or sewer gases pose an explosive spark risk. These specialized configurations replace the standard blower with an SVF-8EXP explosion-proof steel fan and bundle it with black, carbon-infused conductive canisters and ducting. This guarantees an unbroken ground that continuously bleeds off dangerous static electricity.
• SVF-6EXPCND (6-Foot Conductive): Designed for shorter, immediate connections inside localized hazard zones, providing 6 feet of conductive ducting.
• SVF-15EXPCND (15-Foot Conductive): The baseline standard for hazardous location purging, matching the 8" explosion-proof steel fan with a 15-foot conductive hose canister.
• SVF-25EXPCND (25-Foot Conductive): Maximum reaching power for deep hazardous space remediation, combining the explosion-proof motor with an extended 25-foot anti-static canister layout.
Key Features & Benefits
• Industrial Steel Durability: The powder-coated steel fan structure resists denting, cracking, and structural crushing on active construction sites where lightweight plastic models fall short.
• High-Volume Air Movement: Powered by a high-efficiency 1/3 HP electric motor running on standard 115 VAC power. It blasts a commanding 1,395 CFM of free air and retains a high-volume output of 890 CFM even through the attached 15-foot duct line.
• Significantly Quieter Operation: Operating at just 72 dBA at 3 feet, the steel casing deadens vibrations, allowing for clearer top-side communication compared to plastic fans.
• Snap-Lock Interlocking Design: Quick-release canister latches secure the poly canister directly to the blower intake or exhaust flange, creating a highly mobile, one-piece tool that a single contractor can easily carry and set up.
