Device depiction

Information about the device

Device description

The axial fan TTV 4500 S was designed for a very high air flow
rate.

The high air volume flow and a variety of configuration options
enable its flexible application ranging from construction drying,
e.g. in combination with a condenser dryer, to the large-volume
air transport even in dusty surroundings.

The cable of this device can be wound around the hose
connection. The TTV 4500 S is further equipped with a service
socket, which means that you can operate another device,
e.g. another TTV4500S, in cascaded operation via the same
socket. This socket is ready for operation for as long as the first
device is connected to the mains – it does not need to be
switched on.

The integrated operating hours counter can be used for the
settlement with an insurance company or for construction site
calculations.
