8 Series
Airocle developed the 8 Series roof vents in response to the building industry’s need for purpose-engineered automatic fire ventilators.
A Fail-Safe Solution
Incorporation of the 8 series vents into a project’s ‘HVAC’ scheme helps to dramatically minimise fire spread and explosion risk in a building’s structure.
The 8 Series roof ventilators improve smoke and heat clearance in the event of a fire, reducing infrastructure damage and the potential for human injury or death.
The 8 Series vents can function manually, pneumatically and electrically and can be incorporated with both automatic and manual over-ride operational modes.
As the vents automatically open and allow the natural extraction of smoke, heat and combustible gases, 8 Series vents inhibit the lateral spread of fire by preventing heat from mushrooming over the fire area.
Simultaneously, this allows fire authorities to pinpoint and target the source of the fire.

Key Benefits
With its customisable design and high heat load performance, the Airocle 8 Series is ideal For buildings that need powerful ventilation.
Energy efficient
Airocle’s innovative design principles and superior construction methods mean total energy usage and associated costs are reduced.
CSIRO & NATA Tested
NATA & CSIRO tested to AS2428 Australian Standards: Rain & Wind, Fire, and Airflow
Compliant to AS 2427
Materials and construction compliant to AS 2427 for Smoke & Heat release vents
Effective & Reliable
All our rotary vents are compliant with the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Not only this, but they’re certified by leading research centres - CSIRO and NATA - for performance, reliability, and durability.
A fail-safe solution
With fail-safe automatic triggers and manual operation, our natural fire and smoke ventilators can be used year-round for optimal fresh indoor airflow.
Optimal Smoke Removal
Combining the science of air movement with cutting-edge technology and research, our fire and smoke vents are engineered to naturally exhaust toxic air and combustible fumes.
Fire Management Control
The 8 Series roof ventilators can be specially designed to link up to BMS and FIP arrangements through Airocle’s own engineered control panel.
Purpose engineered control panels incorporate necessary controls relative to the types of operation required, providing remote accessibility reducing occupation health and safety risks normally associated with elevated ventilation control.
The control panel can incorporate a range of features:
- Sensors for auto closing during inclement weather
- Smoke Detection
- UPS battery powered back up
- Ventilation zoning and zone coupling
- Manual over-ride for servicing and maintenance
- Auto timer operation to accommodate ventilation operation demands
- Full integration into Fire Indication Panels

Be fire compliant with qualified servicing
Periodic inspection and maintenance is required in accordance with Australian Standard AS1851-2005 Section 18.4.1.7 – Maintenance of Fire Protection Equipment; Automatic Smoke/Heat Venting Systems.
This can be provided economically by Airocle’s Servicing Division.

Yes, effective natural ventilation design considers factors such as building orientation, prevailing wind directions, window placement, and the incorporation of features like operable windows, vents, and thermal mass to optimise airflow. These are the key focuses we will look for to ensure you will get the most out of your ventilation. If you have other goals and objectives you need to meet, please speak with our staff so we can make recommendations for considerations to make.
The level of servicing and maintenance your system requires depends on the type of system you have, your building conditions, and whether it is fixed or operable.
Our expert technicians will take care of all of this for you, providing you with a comprehensive servicing and maintenance schedule that covers all requirements – removing any worry about non-compliance or the risk of system failure in an emergency.
As we design and engineer all our products, we know exactly how to keep them operating as well as the day they were installed, even after months of intense, heavy-duty industrial venting.
They change often depending on the time of the year. Every product is made in-house located in Picton, NSW. Since all products are customisable, we normally ask for a 6-week lead time to ensure a timely delivery.
