TCBBX2/4-500: TCBBX2/4 – 500 Soler And Palau (S&P) High Pressure Twin Turbo Cased Fan
The S&P TCBBx2/4-500 (formerly known as the Vent-Axia Turbo Prop) represents the industry standard for high performance ventilation. Designed by the world renowned engineers at Soler and Palau, this short-cased axial fan is engineered specifically for environments requiring high static pressure without compromising on space.
Advanced Contra Rotating Technology
The TCBBx2 series utilizes a sophisticated contra-rotating system. By employing two complementary impellers spinning in opposite directions, the unit effectively doubles the static pressure compared to a single-stage fan while maintaining the exact same air volume. This makes it the premier choice for long duct runs and high-resistance industrial systems.
Key Technical Features
- Precision Balancing: All impellers are dynamically balanced to ISO 1940 standards, ensuring vibration-free operation and extending the lifespan of the motor bearings.
- Maximum Corrosion Protection: Built to last in harsh environments, the rolled steel casings feature a cataphoresis primer topped with a black polyester paint finish and stainless steel hardware.
- Easy Installation: Features an externally mounted, pre-wired IP65 terminal box with a PG-11 cable gland for seamless electrical connection.
- Industrial Grade Motors: Rated at IP65 with Class F insulation, these motors include built-in thermal protection and are designed to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C.

Why Choose the TCBBx2/4-500 for Industrial Use?
1. Superior Pressure Development
Standard axial fans often struggle with system resistance. The "Turbo Prop" design provides a steep pressure curve, allowing it to push air through filters, dampers, and complex ducting where other fans would stall.
2. Flexible Electrical Configurations
Whether your site requires Single Phase (230V-50Hz) with an integrated capacitor or Three Phase (400V) for inverter-driven speed control, the TCBBx2/4-500 range offers a solution for every power requirement.
3. Compact Short-Cased Design
The short cased housing allows for high-power ventilation in tight spaces, making it ideal for commercial kitchen extraction, warehouse cooling, and industrial drying plants.
