BACKGROUND

Fastlane’s premises occupy more than

11,500 sq.ft, with a design and layout

specifically adapted to Fastlane’s

design, manufacturing and customer

service approach to Air Handling units.

Although Fastlane still operates from

Paddock Wood in Kent, England, a

forward thinking approach to the air

handling products we provide, the

markets in which we compete, and

the customers we serve, is reflected by

strong sales growth and premises that

have doubled in capacity from those

early beginnings.

Following acquisition by the ELTA

Group in 1998, the tradition of first

class air handling unit equipment and

associated products, underpinned by

Fastlane’s approach to the Air

Handling market, ensures that

we continue to meet today’s

requirements for the applications and

modern building services techniques

that challenge the company each day.



Fastlane continues to be run by founder

and Managing Director Rod Capeling,

“ At Fastlane, a combination of

in-house technical expertise, advanced

manufacturing facilities and an

experienced workforce dedicated to

meeting the highest production

standards, ensures we deliver quality air

handling unit equipment” .

“ Our values - innovation, quality and

flexibility, combined with enthusiasm,

drive and determination, provide Fastlane

with the capabilities to continue to

develop and progress as an established air

handling unit manufacturer, to the

Building Services and other markets.”

BehindThe

Design



INNOVATIVEAPPROACH

An innovative approach and a

comprehensive knowledge of the

design of air handling units, combined

with the market applications to which

Fastlane apply their capabilities, are

the cornerstone of our product

development and customer focus.

Fastlane never stands still when it

comes to product development for a

particular application, or where

something is exceptionally

challenging to meet a more specific

customer requirement.

To work out and create the right

approach to our customers’ needs is

deep within our culture, from

the initial sketch to that final

product solution.

With our expertise in Air Handling,

through an accumulated knowledge

of HVAC engineers, and the extensive

facilities of a larger parent Group,

such as the Research and

Development laboratory conforming

to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000, Fastlane has

the capabilit ies to provide reliable,

accurate data, which customers can

apply, with confidence, to their Air

Handling unit requirements.

Fastlane offers extensive technical

support and guidance to our clients,

in the application and sizing of air

handling units and associated

ventilation equipment, in order to suit

the particular specification, site

restrictions or plant room area.

Our whole approach to design and

application is customer driven; from

consultation with our staff, then the

customer, to detailed specifications,

drawings and computer aided

selection, all of which is directed

towards encompassing every aspect,

every detail, thereby providing the

right product for the application.

10



Fastlane computer software is

constantly reviewed and updated,

to provide faster, more efficient

processes in the design approach toour products, assisting in equipment

selection to overcome complex

design problems and quickly

configure the application, whilst

providing comprehensive product

information and supporting data to

our customers.

With the investment in design and

technology, Fastlane’s simple,

streamlined units, combined with

reliability and performance, make

any Air Handler from Fastlane easier

on the specifier, no matter what

design criteria, space requirements,

or acoustic properties may be

specified.



“The more individual choices our

the more tailored the air

Computer aided design and computer programming for

Fastlane’s sheet metal plant and equipment ensures accuracy

and consistency in the design and manufacturing procedures.

PRODUCTION



customers make,

handling manufacture becomes”

As an established manufacturer in our

field, Fastlane has an enviable reputation

in the Air Handling unit market for a

responsive manufacturing approach,

continuing to invest in tomorrow’s plant

and equipment to achieve this objective,

whilst retaining ‘manufacturing f lexibility’

as a strong corporate attribute, in order to

provide modifications to standard

products, or specially made, customized

air handling units.

The needs and requirements of our

customers both in the UK and developing

export markets, have dictated our

manufacturing and assembly approach.

Indeed, alongside orderly, pre-scheduled

‘batch’ production runs, Fastlane’sproduction culture is geared to develop

and produce specific, custom-built air

handlers around individual customers and

the application - A benchmark indicator

of our manufacturing capabilities and

flexible approach.



Our workforce is dedicated tomeeting your requirements each and

every time, striving to improve the

level of service provided.

Regular training of manufacturing

personnel, regular input from our staff

on improvements to assembly and

manufacture, all provide the skill levels

required to adapt and retain our focus

on building a better air handling unit

The accuracy to which manufacturing

processes are performed requires

precision for each and every detail of

the air handling unit, it’s components

and the materials used.

Whether it be a galvanised sheet steel

or plastisol panel, filter section, motor

slide rail, or access door; each cutt ing,

punching or folding procedure is

performed with accuracy, providing

quality products produced forcustomer confidence.

The investment Fastlane has placed in

modern day computer aided

machinery, enables air handling units

to be assembled quickly for

competitive lead times, accurately in

accordance with acceptable standards

and consistently to satisfy the

requirements of our customers.

All Fastlane air handling units are

thoroughly inspected during

manufacture and prior to despatch.

We also work tirelessly in developing

long term relationships with our

suppliers, after all, they form an

integral link in our manufacturing

process, which ensures you, the

customer, receive the highest quality

materials, components and finished

products.

MANUFACTURING



Quality permeates every facet of our

business, and we take it very seriously,

after all it encompasses every aspect

of the relationship between our staff,

suppliers, distributors and customers.

All our departments comply with

quality procedures to ensure that

standards are maintained throughout

the different levels of the company.

This comprehensive brochure with full technical data enables the specifier, consultant or design contractor to select

from an extensive range of Air Handling equipment to prepare his designs and specifications.

The ‘NEVADA’ range of Air Handling units are a compact,

economical range, providing a versatile solution to many

air handling applications. There are six standard sizes,

with a duty range of up to 1.4 m3

/sec.

All constructed from Penta Post frames, each unit,

powered by direct driven centrifugal fans, offer a full

range of LPHW Coils, Electric Heater batteries and

filters as standard components.

The Cirrus range of Air Handling units are the perfect answer where space is at a premium, such as refurbishment

projects where existing space determines parameters, ceiling voids and where top or bottom access is required.

With six sizes in the range, and duties of up to 1.0m3 /sec, Cirrus air handlers facilitate more restrictive applications.

In addition to the standard product range for Direct & Belt Drive units, Fastlane has established a strong reputation in

the design, manufacture and supply of bespoke ‘made to order’ units, comprising a wide range of components to

match the precise specification for the application.

The ‘Stratus’ range of Air Handling units comprise twelve standard sizes, with duties of up to 5.8m 3 /sec.

The standard range consists of a panel filter, LPHW or Electric heater and forward curved belt driven centrifugal fans.

IntroductionAir Handling unit selection is about choosing from a variety of features, accessories and options within a product group, and

to make selection easier, Fastlane have developed a series of guides to assist in the selection process.

(i) Quick Reference Guide (ii) AHU Selection Program

(iii) Performance Range Chart (iv) Accessories & Options Chart

By providing at a glance the many features encompassed within a product group, the quick reference guide enables you to

identify broadly your initial air handling unit requirements.

AHU Selection SoftwareDuring 2006 Fastlane will be introducing a purpose designed AHU Selection software program to our

customers.

The computerised software will be available as a user friendly CD selection program, with the

capability to provide fast, accurate and time efficient selections, design and quotations for Fastlane’srange of air handling units to the building services sector.

N.B. * Lead times do not apply to Weatherproofed units or Non Standard Sizes.

Lead times quoted are based on normal working days after drawing approval.

PERFORMANCE CHART

In accordance with our policy of constant product development we reserve the right t o alter from published data without prior not ice. 23

Our performance chart provides a visual overview of typical air performances for the NEVADA, CIRRUS and

STRATUS ranges of air handling units.

For larger sizes and bespoke requirements, please enquire.

As a guide…………………..

Direct Drive units should be predominantly selected where lower air volumes are required for the application,

due to the compact nature of the unit, lower maintenance and overall costs.

Belt Drive units tend to be selected where higher air volumes and resistances are required, alongside specialist

requirements at lower air volumes.

As you will see from the Performance chart, a unit with a particular volume can be selected from more than

one size of unit.

The best selection for performance and cost would normally be found in the middle of the chart, for example,

Model SA55 Belt Drive for 2.0 m3 /sec - Heating only.

If plant space is at a premium, the smallest unit should be selected, however, please note this will often

increase motor sizes and sound levels to overcome the higher resistance of the unit.
