On the surface, ebm-papst is a manufacturer of electrical fans and drives, but at the core of the company’s philosophy are the overarching themes of efficiency and sustainability. This fact has been recognised many times over, most recently by being named as Germany’s most sustainable company in 2013, which follows a 2012 DEKRA award for its efforts in transitioning to more sustainable energy systems.
This philosophy is encapsulated in the company’s ‘GreenTech’ initiative, inspired by co-founder Gerhard Sturm’s vision that “Each new product we develop has to be better than the last one in terms of economy and ecology.”
On the technology front, ebm-papst has 60 years of experience to draw upon in the development of its broad range of AC and DC fans. This allows it to optimise every aspect of their design, including low noise through soft commutation techniques; bearing technology that is robust and reliable while also ensuring low noise levels; computer aided analysis for aerodynamic impeller design; and sturdy and safe construction.
The company’s reputation for making rock-solid, state-of-the-art products is in evidence in too many applications to mention, but some recent highlights include cooling systems for the World Championship winning Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One car, fans for the Diamond Light Source synchrotron in Britain, and ceiling mounted units for South Korean chip manufacturing plants.
