In most cases we find on site it is a make-up air problem rather than a fan problem. If there is no designed inlet path for replacement air, the fan works against building pressure and moves far less than its rated volume. Correcting the inlet path usually costs much less than replacing the fan.

Industrial Exhaust & Fume Extraction Systems in Africa
Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter of Industrial Exhaust Systems for Africa.
We design and manufacture industrial exhaust fans, fume extraction hoods and flue gas exhaust systems as a complete path from capture point to discharge. Cement, mining, steel and agro-processing operations across the continent need robust extraction. We design dust and fume extraction, flue gas exhaust and industrial exhaust systems with duct material selected for abrasion and chemical exposure, complete with make-up air design.
Specification for Africa starts from the local design condition – hot, low humidity - DEC performs strongly against hot, 70-85% RH - IDEC and HVLS – rather than from a generic national figure. In practice robust construction matters more than refinement here, because cement, mining and agro-processing duty is abrasive and maintenance intervals are long. Coverage includes Kenya - Nairobi, Mombasa, Athi River, Nigeria - Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and Tanzania - Dar es Salaam, Arusha, along with Kenya and Nigeria.
Technical Highlights
- Duct material selected against actual chemical, abrasive and thermal exposure
- Make-up air arrangements sized to the volume being removed
- Roof ventilators and discharge arrangements planned so extract is not re-entrained
- Heavy duty industrial and commercial exhaust fans for continuous duty
Benefits
- Works with evaporative cooling, which can supply the fresh make-up air the extract system needs
- Contaminants and heat are removed where they are produced instead of being spread through the building
- Correct make-up air means the system delivers its design volume, not just its fan rating
Applications in Africa
- Food, beverage & agro processing – Kitchen, oven, fryer and drying line exhaust with hygienic construction and grease handling.
- Mining & minerals processing – Dust extraction at crushing, screening and transfer points, plus workshop fume removal.
- Cement & building materials – Kiln, mill and packing plant exhaust with abrasion-resistant duct and robust fan selection.
- Textiles, weaving & processing – Heat and moisture extraction over stenters, jet dyeing, curing and drying lines.
- Warehousing & logistics – Ventilation exhaust, roof extraction and charging area fume removal for battery and MHE bays.
Working With Us in Africa
Over 35 years of manufacturing and more than 6,400 completed projects means most of what a site throws up has been seen before, and the design allows for it in advance. We manufacture from our own facilities at Pune, Hyderabad and Tirunelveli, and hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 33 Google reviews.
Frequently Asked Questions
My exhaust fan is large enough but the system still underperforms. Why?
How is this equipment shipped to Africa?
Shipped FOB Nhava Sheva (JNPT) or Mundra to Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Lagos (Apapa / Tin Can Island), Tema, Durban and Ngqura. Export packing is specified for the route and handling conditions, and documentation is prepared as part of the order rather than after it. Spares and consumables are normally shipped with the consignment so a replacement part does not become a separate small shipment later.
Do you provide pre-export verification of conformity documentation for Africa?
Yes. We prepare the product technical documentation, test data and declarations needed to support the PVoC or equivalent scheme operated by the destination country, and we work alongside the customer's appointed conformity assessment body. The certificate itself is issued by the accredited body rather than by the manufacturer, so our role is to prepare and support the file so the consignment is not held at port.
