Device description

The device TFV 10 S / TFV 30 S was designed for a very high air
flow rate. It may be used for drying carpets, buildings or screed
as well as for the ventilation of poorly accessible intermediate
spaces. Owing to the high air circulation, the device can also be
used to control excessive humidity levels. The fan is also very
effective for the additional air circulation when heating large
buildings, e.g. in the months of winter.

The TFV 30 S is further equipped with a service socket, which
means that you can operate another device via the same
socket. This socket is ready for operation for as long as the TFV

30 S is connected to the mains – it does not need to be

switched on.
Moreover, you can connect an optional three-way hose

distributor to the TFV 30 S in order to direct the air current
towards 3different locations.

The cable of this device can be wound around the cable holder
at the carrying handle.

The device is designed in a way that several devices can be
safely stacked on top of one another for space-saving storage.
Do not exceed the maximum of five stacked devices.

In addition to all conventional ventilation tasks these turbo fans
are also suited particularly well for the quick elimination of
moisture at the underbody after driving on wet roads.

The device can be set up at different angles in order to reach
difficult corners or otherwise inaccessible hollows: 0°, 45°, 90°.
