When you want a large ceiling fan for your factory, warehouse or other space, an industrial ceiling fan is the logical choice.
Large Blade Span
Industrial ceiling fans have a large blade span, usually somewhere between 52 and 100 inches. Compared to other fans, which are usually made with wood or thin plastic, you can expect an industrial fan to be more durable– they’re typically made of steel, aluminum and/or industrial-grade plastic.
Continuous Air Flow
What makes industrial fans unique? Well, they run at a lower speed than other fans, but they still deliver a continuous stream of air flow to quite large spaces. To do this, they use powerful motors which help cycle warm air into cooler air, lowering the overall temperature of a room. When warehouses, for instance, want to cut down on energy costs, they often invest in industrial ceiling fans to cool their vast spaces.
Made Special for Industrial Settings
Are commercial ceiling fans the same thing as industrial fans? Not quite. Commercial ceiling fans don’t have as powerful motors so they’re not as noisy. Commercial ceiling fans, meanwhile, work in conjunction with traditional AC units to help with overall airflow. When you get industrial ceiling fans, they’re typically an area’s main air-cooling source, and since they’re used in industrial spaces, such as workshops and garages, it’s okay for them to be a little bit noisy.
Where are some places that utilize industrial ceiling fans? Besides factories and warehouses, you might find them in barns, aircraft hangars, gyms, hockey arenas, indoor swimming pool rooms, malls and more. They’re used to move air to create a cooling effect of up to 10 degrees. By circulating air, these fans encourage evaporation which ends up making people below feel cooler and comfortable.
Industrial Fans Have a Long History!
Did you know the concept of ceiling fans dates back to early civilization, thousands of years ago? People of the Roman Empire used to use human-powered palm frond wavers to cool the temperature(s) in palaces and such. People of that time would surely marvel at the large industrial ceiling fans available today. Today’s long and wide blades move a lot of air farther than ever, covering more square feet than a human-powered fan could handle.
Industrial Fans Make Workers More Comfortable
Industrial ceiling fans ultimately make people feel comfortable at work. This can help improve company productivity, accuracy and morale. Would you rather work in an environment where the temperature was 85 degrees or 75 degrees? Most prefer working in 75 degrees, while the optimum temperature is actually said to be 72 degrees.
Rather than rely on a series of smaller fans, why not get large industrial fans? One typical big fan does the job of 34 smaller ones.
