Product Advantages

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Made from high-quality SMC fiberglass reinforced plastic, these hoods offer excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, moisture, and UV rays. Unlike metal alternatives, they do not rust or corrode, making them ideal for outdoor and chemically aggressive environments.

Lightweight Yet Durable

At just 1/4 the weight of steel, these FRP hoods significantly reduce transportation costs and simplify installation. Despite their light weight, the compression-molded structure provides exceptional strength and impact resistance.

Precision Compression Molding

Manufactured using a 2000-ton hydraulic press, the SMC material is molded in a single process, ensuring consistent quality and tight dimensional tolerances. This results in a perfect fit with fan units, preventing air leaks and ensuring efficient operation.

Long Service Life & Customizable Options

High-quality FRP material ensures minimal maintenance. Available in standard sizes like 1060#, with custom sizes, colors, and printed logos also available. Tailored solutions for branding and project requirements.

This close-up illustrates the dimensional accuracy and seamless assembly of our compression-molded fan covers. Each hood is engineered to match fan units perfectly, eliminating air leaks and vibration gaps. The smooth gelcoat surface, integrated flanges, and corrosion-proof material ensure long-term performance even under high-moisture or chemical-laden environments. The visible mounting points and structural rigidity highlight how DISLAB’s SMC technology combines lightweight handling with industrial-grade durability.

📦 Real Customer Case: Bulk Order for a European Agricultural Equipment Manufacturer

A leading agricultural ventilation equipment supplier in Poland placed a bulk order with DISLAB Composite for 1,200 pieces of 1060# FRP fan hood covers. These hoods were intended for large poultry houses, protecting exhaust fans from harsh, corrosive conditions inside barns.

Our team provided the standard 1060# model, manufactured using high-pressure compression molding. The customer required strict dimensional accuracy, and we conducted sampling checks to verify material quality, wall thickness, and fit. The hoods were delivered on schedule, and the customer reported that the FRP material performed exceptionally well in the humid, ammonia-rich environment. The lightweight design made installation faster and safer. The order was so successful that they placed a follow-up order for additional sizes and custom colors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose an FRP fan hood over a metal one?
A: FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) hoods offer superior corrosion resistance, especially in humid, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. They are significantly lighter than steel, reducing installation costs and structural stress, while providing excellent durability.
Q: How is SMC material different from standard fiberglass?
A: SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) is a high-performance composite material compression-molded under high pressure. This process yields a denser, more uniform structure with higher strength, better dimensional stability, and superior surface finish compared to hand-laid fiberglass.
Q: Can the hoods be customized for specific fan sizes?
A: Yes, we offer full OEM/ODM services. We can manufacture custom-sized FRP hoods to fit any fan model, including custom colors, shapes, and printed logos for branding purposes.
Q: Are these hoods suitable for high-temperature exhaust fans?
A: FRP has good heat resistance, but performance at very high temperatures depends on the specific application. For continuous high-temperature exhaust systems, we recommend discussing requirements with our engineering team to select the right material grade.
Q: How do I install the fan hood?
A: The hoods are designed for straightforward installation, mounting directly to the fan unit using standard fasteners. Lightweight design makes handling and installation much easier than heavy metal alternatives. Installation instructions are provided with each order.
