polymers to create a line of rugged, portable turbo blowers. The
UB-Line is ideal for general use, confined space ventilation and
delivers the highest airflow in its class. The double-wall,
polyethylene casing is light-weight, corrosion and chemical resistant
and handles the bumps and falls of any job site.
The 8″/20 cm UB20 turbo blower is at the heart of the RAMFAN
industrial ventilation systems that provide you with the complete
solution for common confined space ventilation applications. The
multi-purpose blower and exhauster delivers powerful airflow in a
compact and lightweight package.

The 12″/30 cm UB30 takes design cues from the UB20 in a larger form. The larger blower/exhauster produces a higher airflow for use in larger confined spaces. The larger the area you are trying to ventilate the more airflow you’ll need. The RAMFAN® UB30 has unmatched performance for a fan its size.It is built with a durable housing to withstand industrial workspace environments.
- 2 Integrated Duct Adapters
- Dual Voltage/ Dual Frequency
- Stackable design feature
- Cord Strap
- 15’/4.6 m Extended Reach Power Cable
Safety Precautions
Before Operation
Before starting for the first time: DO NOT START fan if there
are any signs of shipping damage, particularly to blade, guards, or
housing. If ANY damage is suspected, STOP and call your dealer
immediately.
Keep children away: Do not allow children to play with or around
the unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is
inaccessible to children when not attended.
Keep unit grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug
and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an essential
safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire. Always
ensure the switch is in the OFF position prior to connecting to
power.
Protect power cord from damage: Use cords of suitable size for
amperage load. Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as
this may lead to electrical or fire hazards.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to
deliver the appropriate voltage to the unit.
Do not use speed control device: To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not use fans with a solid-state speed control
device.
Handle with care: Do not drop or throw the unit. Rough treatment
can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on stable surface: Start only if blower is sitting in a stable
and upright position. While on level surface and running at full
speed, the blower should not move around. If unit is moving, check
rubber feet for damage and replace if necessary.
Secure during transport: When transporting in a vehicle, secure the
unit to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle occupants.
During Operation
Airflow Direction: When using the blower, note the directional
airflow indicator on the external housing.
Keep out of water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing
water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock.
Do not store outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become
wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit.
Safety: Proper ear and eye protection must be worn while blower is
running. Keep fingers and hands clear of blade. Do not move blower
while it is running.
Keep air intakes clear: Do not clog or block air intakes, this may
occur if operated to close to loose lightweight objects such as
clothing or leaves. This can cause the unit to overheat and result
in a fire or electrical hazard.
Keep away dust and dirt: Do not allow dust, dirt, or other
particles to be drawn into the air intakes. Dirt in the motor can
cause it to overheat, resulting in a fire or electrical hazard. If
the motor gets dirty, clean it using an
air hose.
Allow repair only by qualified person: Immediately stop the unit
upon hearing excessive mechanical noise or vibration. Do not attempt
to disassemble or repair the unit if you are not qualified to do
so. You can perform regular maintenance
or troubleshooting, however complex problems need to be repaired by
an authorized service technician.
For information about authorized repair, call Euramco Safety Customer
Service at +1 (619) 670-9590.
Operation
- Read the Owner’s Manual completely before starting fan.
- Wear both eye and ear protection.
- Position the fan on a level surface.
- Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and amperage for the unit. Set the switch to ON. Check for proper operation before leaving the unit unattended. Do not move or carry the blower while it is running
Maintenance
LOCK-OUT / TAG-OUT : When performing any maintenance, always follow all
additional safety precautions that your company may have for lock-out / tag-
out procedures.
POWER OFF : Always turn the power OFF and unplug the unit before
performing maintenance procedures. All the service procedures below are to be
executed with the unit unplugged. Perform before each use or as needed.
DO NOT DISSASSEMBLE blower for maintenance reasons.
INSPECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: Inspect the electrical cord for damage at
regular intervals. Periodically, inspect internal wiring for bare wires,
insecure fasteners, and discoloration. Remove and repair any damaged wiring as
needed. Failure to do so may lead to electrical shock or a fire hazard.
CLEAN AIR INTAKES: Clean off any accumulated lint or other
materials from the finger guards. A build up will reduce the airflow
and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard.
NEVER operate fan with damaged or missing finger guards.
CLEAN EXTERIOR: Clean fan periodically to remove accumulated dust
or particles using a commercially available biodegradable cleaning
solution. DO NOT use solvents containing chlorinated hydrocarbons
(i.e. MEK, Acetone)
EXTERIOR INSPECTION: Evaluate exterior components and make sure
they are properly installed. Inspect the fan for loose fasteners at
least once every 6 months depending on frequency of use. Tighten
any loose fasteners immediately. DO NOT overtighten fasteners.
Listen to the unit for abnormal sounds. Check rubber feet for
excessive wear or breakage. Contact Euramco Safety for replacement
parts and installation instructions.
DO NOT WET MOTOR OR WIRING: To prevent damage to electrical
components, do not use a duct or pressure washer to clean a blower.
If electrical components do become wet, dry them immediately.
