When food and beverage manufacturers across India need hygienic, reliable, and easy-to-clean air handling solutions for their critical processes, they turn to Shivam Engineering & Fabrication. As a leading axial flow fan manufacturer for the food and beverage industry, we have supplied hundreds of units to dairy plants, bakeries, beverage units, meat processing facilities, and food packaging plants across the country. Our axial flow fans are engineered for hygiene, easy cleaning, corrosion resistance, and continuous operation – perfectly suited for the stringent sanitary requirements of food and beverage manufacturing.

Why Food & Beverage Plants Need Sanitary Axial Flow Fans

The food and beverage industry requires strict hygiene standards to prevent contamination and ensure product safety. Standard industrial fans can introduce contaminants through rust, lubricants, or uncleanable surfaces. Our specially designed sanitary axial flow fans feature:

• Food-Grade Stainless Steel Construction – SS304 or SS316 for corrosion resistance and easy sanitization.
• Easy-to-Clean Design – Smooth surfaces, no crevices, removable blades for thorough cleaning.
• Washdown Duty Options – IP55/IP66 motors and sealed bearings for high-pressure hose-down cleaning.
• FDA-Compliant Materials – Food-grade finishes and coatings.
• Low Noise Operation – Precision-balanced impellers for quieter operation (75-85 dB).
• Condensation Management – Drain holes and sloped designs to prevent moisture accumulation.

Key Applications of Axial Flow Fans in Food & Beverage Industry

• Plant Ventilation – Fresh air supply and exhaust of steam, heat, and odors from processing and packaging areas.
• Cooling of Processed Products – Air cooling of baked goods (bread, biscuits, cookies), confectionery, and cooked foods after cooking.
• Drying of Food Products – Air drying of washed vegetables, fruits, meat products, and packaging containers.
• Steam & Vapor Exhaust – Removing steam from cooking, boiling, and sterilization areas (retorts, kettles).
• General Air Circulation – Improving air movement in food processing halls for worker comfort and product quality.
• Packaging Area Ventilation – Maintaining clean air in packaging halls to prevent contamination.
• Cold Store Air Circulation – Even temperature distribution in cold storage rooms (with appropriate blade design).
• Roof Exhaust – Removing hot air, steam, and odors through roof-mounted exhaust fans.

Mounting Configurations for Food Plants

Material Options for Food-Grade Applications

Depending on the product being handled and hygiene requirements, Shivam Engineering & Fabrication offers different construction options:

• Stainless Steel SS304 – Standard food-grade construction for most food and beverage applications. Excellent corrosion resistance, easy to clean, and FDA compliant.
• Stainless Steel SS316 / SS316L – For highly corrosive food applications involving acidic products (fruit juices, pickles, tomato products, citrus processing) and high-chloride environments.
• Epoxy-Coated Mild Steel (MS) – For non-product contact areas where hygiene requirements are less stringent (e.g., utility areas, equipment rooms).
• Galvanized Steel – For outdoor installations in dry processing areas.

Washdown Duty Axial Fans for Food Plants

For food processing areas requiring daily high-pressure hose-down cleaning, Shivam Engineering & Fabrication offers specialized washdown-duty axial fans:

• IP55 / IP66 Motors – Fully sealed motors resistant to high-pressure water jets.
• Sealed Bearings – IP66-rated bearing housings prevent water ingress.
• Smooth Surfaces – No crevices or ledges where bacteria can accumulate.
• SS304 Construction – Complete stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance.
• Removable Blades – For thorough cleaning between production batches.
• Sloped Surfaces – Designed to prevent water pooling and facilitate drainage.
