IFVA

The IFVA is Fuchs' largest cleanable filter unit, designed for industrial-scale and central extraction applications where air volumes from 2,400 to 6,400 m³/h must be treated. It uses cleanable filter media for extended service life in continuous-duty environments and is available in both 400 V three-phase and 230 V single-phase electrical configurations. The IFVA suits large welding halls, multi-point laser installations, and central extraction systems handling heavy particulate.

Product OverviewManufacturer Reference
2,400–6,400 m³/h8,600 Pa400 V / 50 Hz or 230 V / 50–60 Hz2.2–5.0 kW

Applications

  • Large welding halls and multi-station welding cells.
  • Central extraction serving multiple laser cutting or welding points.
  • Industrial process dust with high air volume requirements.
  • Continuous-duty applications where cleanable media reduces running costs.

Key Features

  • Handles air volumes from 2,400 to 6,400 m³/h in a single unit.
  • Cleanable filter media minimizes consumable cost in continuous-duty applications.
  • Available in 400 V three-phase and 230 V single-phase supply configurations.
  • 8,600 Pa negative pressure for effective capture in large industrial installations.
  • Large-format construction (1,480 × 950 × 3,900 mm) for high-volume central extraction.

IFVA

The IFVA is a large industrial tower unit at 1,480 × 950 mm base and 3,900 mm tall. It is designed for permanent installation in mechanical rooms or filter galleries serving multiple extraction points via a central duct system. The cleanable filter compartment is sized for low-frequency service in high-particulate applications.

Technical Specifications

Parameter Value
Air volume (m³/h) 2,400 – 6,400
Negative pressure max. (Pa) 8,600
Electrical connection (V/Hz) 400 V / 50 or 230 V / 50–60
Electrical power (kW) 2.2 – 5.0
Sound pressure level 1 m (dBA) 69
Dimensions W×D×H (mm) 1,480 × 950 × 3,900

Selection Notes

  • Select IFVA for central extraction systems requiring more than 3,300 m³/h.
  • Specify electrical supply (400 V three-phase or 230 V single-phase) during ordering.
  • For air volumes below 2,400 m³/h, the MKFV/INRV or MKFVA series is likely a better fit.
  • Consult Pantron Automation for duct sizing, fan curve matching, and filter selection.

Integration Notes

  • Permanent installation in a dedicated plant room or filter gallery is recommended given the 3,900 mm height.
  • Structural support and vibration isolation should be considered during facility planning.
  • Confirm duct sizes and routing before ordering — IFVA units are typically project-specific.
  • Contact Pantron Automation early in the project for sizing and lead-time guidance.
