Big Ceiling Fans For Warehouses and Manufacturing

When picking out a commercial fan for your warehouse, there are some cool features and key points to think about.

Size

HVLS ceiling fans usually measure 8 feet to 30 feet in diameter. The size you select is usually determined by the dimensions of the building in which they will be installed. The most enormous fans can provide up to 25,000 square feet of air circulation coverage.

Technological Features

Many HVLS fans are capable of much more than just circulating air. Industrial ceiling fans can be integrated with other building systems, such as security, HVAC, and fire suppression. Our fans come with either wired or wireless remote controls.

Safety

An industrial ceiling fan is the type of equipment most people install and then forget about. It runs, does its job, and you don't have to be concerned about it. However, because high-volume industrial ceiling fans are large and heavy, they must be completely secure. Some HVLS fans include various safety features, including redundant features that provide additional protection if any part fails.

Noise level

Small, noisy pedestal fans can be quite loud and disruptive. You want a quiet fan for quiet areas. Premium HVLS fans, particularly those with industrial direct-drive motors, are designed to be quiet.

The fan blades should be higher than the sidewall curtain openings in freestall dairy barns. The blade may bend under windy circumstances. This is why we developed the FanChief to turn off the fans when windy. The diameter of HVLS fans normally ranges from 8 feet to 24 feet, with the smaller models proving to be more resilient to wind damage.

When placing fans within a barn, keep in mind that cows will often concentrate in locations like scraping alleyways where the air is coolest, making it difficult for them to move around and cause obstructions.

Avoid putting a fan just under a light fixture. It can make a strobe light effect.

Warehouse ceiling fans are quite big, so naturally, you might think they'd use a lot of energy. It's actually not the case. The amount of energy they use depends on a few things: the fan's size, its model, and how fast you've got it running. What's neat about these fans is their ability to save energy at lower speeds. They're not energy hogs like air conditioners. Over the long haul, they can cut costs for businesses.

Wondering how long a warehouse fan keeps working? It's not just about time; it's about how you treat it. Crash it into things, and it'll give up sooner. Keep forklifts away and over voltages away from it , and it will last a long time. We build our fans for a 20 year life in mind to keep your warehouse cool for a long time. The secret is not hitting it and installing lightning/ overvoltage protection

Putting up an industrial ceiling fan might seem like a cool DIY project. Although it's doable, it's probably not the best idea if you are not mechanically inclined. Reputable mechanical contractors can install fans smoothly. It's a smart move to call in a pro – an electrician who knows exactly what they're doing. They'll ensure your fan is set up safely, so it works its best and doesn't cause any trouble.
