Model PL belt drive fan is a downblast centrifugal power roof ventilator designed for exhausting clean air. Capacities
range from 635 to 31,810 CFM and up to 1 inch static pressure. The PL is built to be quieter than conventional
exhausters. In fact, they are quieter than many conventional exhausters with sound curbs. For this reason PL
exhausters are suitable for all types of commercial and institutional buildings such as schools, hospitals, office buildings
and retail stores requiring low noise levels.
Hood
Full 360° perimeter
outlet area for efficient
performance. Hinged
to permit easy
accessibility and
servicing.
Motor
All motors are
continuous duty type
and have lubricated
shielded ball bearings.
The motor is mounted
on special slide rails
that help maintain
correct belt drive
alignment. Factory
wired to junction box.
Aluminum Construction
Heavy gauge aluminum hoods, housing and
base provide durable, weather protected
construction.
Drive Assembly
Cast iron drives sized for
150% of drive horsepower
with static free, oil and
heat resistant belts.
Frame
The entire weight of
the motor, impeller,
drive assembly and
hood is carried by a
rugged structural
frame that transmits
load directly to the roof
curb.
Disconnect Switch
Factory installed disconnect
switch is standard.
Aluminum Hollow Airfoil Impeller
All exhausters have backward curved non-overloading
aluminum impellers with the hollow airfoil blades.
Impellers are precision balanced for smooth, vibration
free operation. Hollow airfoil blades produce a
centrifugal impeller having high performance with lower
air noise, and at less horsepower.
Bearings
Permanently lubricated in a duplex split pillow block housing. Bearings are resiliently
mounted in neoprene rings and rated at L
limited warranty on duplex split pillow block bearings (unitary pillow block bearings
standard on PL368-543).
life of 200,000 hours. There is a 5 year

Performance shown is for installation type A: Free inlet, Free Outlet.
Performance ratings do not include the effects of appurtenance in the airstream.
The sound ratings shown are loudness values in fan sones at 5 feet (1.524m) in a
hemispherical free field calculated per AMCA Standard 301. Values shown are
for Installation Type A: Free Inlet fan Sone levels.
The brake horsepower capability of an exhauster motor is dependent on the
degree of cooling the motor receives from the air moving through the motor.
The motor loading beyond the motor nameplate rating does not overheat
the motor and is in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s
recommendations. It is therefore not detrimental to the motor and is
economically desirable. Power rating (BHP) does not include drive losses.

OPTIONALCOATINGS
Coatings
Aluminum and galvanized components remain unpainted as
a standard finish, but when required, are processed through
the finishing system to apply decorative or special coatings.
A high turbulence oven is used to produce a baked on finish
for most special coatings. Decorative coatings are not baked
on.
Decorative Coatings
Acme offers 16 popular colors for decorative finishes utilizing
an industrial grade enamel applied to the exterior of the fan.
Special colors are available upon request. See your Acme
Representative for complete color selections.
Special Coatings
Products receiving special coatings have
components painted before assembly. Fasteners are
not painted.
• Acrylic Epoxy
This product provides a more durable surface.
• Carboline Sanitile (Eisenheiss)
This air dry synthetic polyester forms a black coating
that offers greater resistance to most organic and
inorganic acids.
• Heresite (air dry)
A phenolic coating with greater resistance to most
organic and inorganic acids.
• Insulmastic
A black asphalt based mastic that provides some
condensation control, sound deadening and
corrosion resistance.
NOTE: For any coating selected the user assumes the responsibility for the corrosive agent, its concentration,
temperature, moisture content and the ultimate effect on the coating and the equipment.
