As warmer months approach and production ramps up, the pressure on cooling infrastructure in food and beverage facilities grows. To meet these challenges, Rittal’s Blue e+ fan-and-filter units offer a smarter, energy-efficient approach to enclosure cooling.
In environments where hygiene is critical and equipment uptime is non-negotiable, even minor temperature fluctuations can compromise compliance, efficiency, and product integrity. Specifically designed for harsh processing environments, from dairy and brewing to meat and cold storage, the Blue e+ series combines superior airflow, hygienic design, and real-time digital oversight to maintain stable equipment performance even under extreme conditions.
Engineered for Australian conditions
Blue e+ units deliver reliable thermal performance where it matters most. A pleated filter increases airflow by up to 40 per cent compared to conventional designs, while a diagonal fan layout ensures even air distribution throughout the enclosure, minimising hot spots and thermal stress.
Equipped with high-efficiency EC motors, the units achieve energy savings of up to 60 per cent. Integrated IoT technology enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and emergency response cooling – ensuring sensitive equipment is protected before failure can occur.
Smart, hygienic design for demanding environments
Blue e+ fan-and-filter units are quick to install and easy to maintain, featuring a bayonet fitting for tool-free mounting, a clip-lock grille for safe filter changes, and reversible airflow for flexible setup. These features support the strict hygiene standards of food and beverage facilities while reducing operational disruption.
For additional protection, an optional hose-proof hood raises the IP rating from IP54 to IP56, critical for sites subject to washdowns, high humidity, and airborne contaminants.
An automatic filter-cleaning function also extends service intervals by dislodging fine dust, improving system longevity, and reducing manual intervention.
Reliable cooling when it matters most
With extreme temperatures posing greater risks to food production equipment, proactive enclosure cooling is essential—not just for compliance, but for performance and cost control. Rittal’s Blue e+ fan-and-filter units help Australian manufacturers keep their cool with:
- High airflow and uniform cooling.
- Smart monitoring and emergency override functions.
- Tool-free, hygienic maintenance.
- Long-term energy savings and reduced downtime.
Designed for the realities of Australian food and beverage operations, Blue e+ brings together smart engineering, robust protection, and operational efficiency in one intelligent solution.
