Who is Nicotra Gebhardt and what does it make?
Nicotra Gebhardt makes centrifugal and axial fans for HVAC, with over 60 years of activity and production at Ciserano, Italy. The range covers direct-drive centrifugal fans (DDMP, REM, TEM), belt-driven fans (AT, RZR), double-inlet fans (RZM), compact Columbus axial fans with EC motor and IP67 protection, and filter units for cleanrooms in the FFU 2.0 series. An HVAC integrator in Romania will find in the catalogue both the replacement fan for an existing air handling unit and the new unit for a cleanroom project.
What sets the catalogue apart is the combination of blade aerodynamics (forward-curved or backward-curved, aerofoil) and motor technology: many series (DDMP, RZM, TEM) are available with an EC motor for built-in speed control, as an alternative to the classic asynchronous motor with an external drive. The in-house ProSelecta tool helps select the right model from the required duty point.
For the Romanian market, the range is relevant for retrofitting air handling units where the old fan must be replaced with one of equivalent connection size, and for new cleanroom or smoke extraction projects where a certified model is required.
What do we supply from the Nicotra Gebhardt range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Direct-Drive Centrifugal Fans, DDMP/REM/TEM Series | Fans with a scroll casing and an impeller mounted directly on the motor shaft, with no drive belt. DDMP uses forward-curved blades with a 230V EC motor; REM and TEM offer variants with forward-curved or backward-curved blades for compact air handling units. Removing the belt reduces maintenance points and the noise associated with the transmission. Typical application: ventilation and air-conditioning units with limited installation space. |
| Double-Inlet Centrifugal Fans, RZM Series | Fans with a scroll casing and an aerofoil impeller with backward-curved blades, fed from both sides for higher airflow at the same casing size. RZM comes in a direct-drive version. Used in medium to large air handling units, where aerodynamic efficiency at constant pressure matters for the unit's energy consumption. |
| Columbus Axial Fans | Compact, quiet axial fans with EC motor and IP67 protection, for a static pressure range of approximately 150-250 Pa. Applications indicated by the manufacturer: air handling units, data centre cooling, HVAC and cleanroom ventilation. |
| FFU 2.0 Filter Units | Filter units with an integrated fan (fan filter unit) for cleanroom ceilings, designed for uniform airflow across the filter surface. The EC motor allows fine adjustment of airflow to maintain the required cleanliness class. Typical application: cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical, electronics or semiconductor industries, where uniformity of the laminar airflow is critical. |
Why Nicotra Gebhardt?
- Separate ranges for direct drive (DDMP, REM) and belt drive (AT, RZR), chosen by the space available
- Variants with built-in EC motor for speed control without a separate external drive
- Compact axial fan series (Columbus) with EC motor and IP67 protection
- FFU filter units for cleanrooms, with uniform airflow across the filter surface
- In-house selection tool (ProSelecta) for quickly identifying the duty point

How do we supply Nicotra Gebhardt in Romania?
For Nicotra Gebhardt we work from the manufacturer's technical documentation; lead time and availability are stated in the quotation. We bring the equipment in to order through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the model and the connection size required. For an accurate quotation we need: the size of the existing casing or connection (if it is a replacement), the airflow and pressure required, the temperature of the air handled and the preferred motor type (EC or asynchronous). We do not keep this range on the shelf; we check current availability with the manufacturer before confirming a firm lead time to the customer.
Integrating the ProSelecta tool into third-party automation systems is the responsibility of the system integrator, based on the data we provide.
Frequently asked questions about Nicotra Gebhardt
What does Nicotra Gebhardt make?
Nicotra Gebhardt makes centrifugal fans (direct-drive or belt-driven, single or double inlet), compact axial fans and filter units for cleanrooms. The range covers air handling units, smoke extraction and industrial process ventilation.
How do I choose a Nicotra Gebhardt fan by code?
The code indicates the construction type: DDMP and TEM are direct-drive, AT and RZR are belt-driven, and RZM has a double inlet and backward-curved blades. The final choice depends on the existing connection size and the duty point required (airflow, pressure).
What is the equivalent of the Nicotra Gebhardt RZM series?
RZM is a series with double inlet, backward-curved blades and direct drive. The exact equivalence at a given duty point is confirmed only by comparing the pressure-flow curves of the models.
How long does delivery take in Romania for Nicotra Gebhardt fans?
We bring them in to order through supply channels in the EU, usually in 1–4 weeks, depending on the model and size. We do not keep the range on the shelf; we check current availability with the manufacturer before confirming the final lead time.
