HVLS Ceiling Fan
Industrial Ceiling Fan
A direct-drive IE5 fan that covers up to 1,700 m2 of high-bay floor on 1.5 kW, with no gearbox and no oil change for the life of the installation.
HVLS Ceiling Fans From 2.4 m to 7.3 m
Direct-drive ceiling fans for buildings too tall for air conditioning to reach the floor.

High volume low speed means exactly what it says. A blade set between 2.4 m and 7.3 m across, turning slowly, moves a wide column of air to the floor and out along it. That column is what people feel, and it is why a building with a 9 m roof can be made comfortable without cooling the air above head height that nobody occupies.

HVLS Ceiling Fan
Commercial Ceiling Fan
For rooms under about 7 m where the fan is part of the interior: 330 m2 of coverage, under 38 dB, and a bronze airfoil blade that does not look like plant equipment.
The Problem
What Buyers Are Actually Trying to Fix
The complaint that brings most buyers to this category is the same: the air conditioning runs all day, the bill is enormous, and the floor is still hot. In a high-bay building the cooled air stratifies. Moving air instead of chilling it is a different and much cheaper mechanism, and in winter the same fans run slowly to bring roof-level warm air back down.
Who this range is for
- Plant and facilities managers responsible for buildings above about 5 m clear height
- Distribution and cold-chain operators where humidity damages stored goods
- Gym, restaurant and retail operators whose customers leave when a room gets stuffy
- Livestock producers where heat stress costs yield
- Mechanical contractors and HVAC distributors specifying air movement into a project
Typical application scenarios
- Warehouses and distribution centres with high racking and long aisles
- Machining, stamping and assembly workshops, including buildings served by overhead cranes
- Gyms, sports halls, canteens, supermarkets and transport waiting areas
- Dairy barns, poultry sheds and pig units where the fans were first developed
Every figure on the product pages in this
range comes from our own specification. Where a number depends on the diameter or
the duty it is written as TBC and confirmed at quotation.
Core Advantages
Why This Range Is Built the Way It Is
1
IE5 permanent magnet direct drive
No reduction gearbox in either range, so there is no oil change and nothing to drip on the floor below. That is what the free-maintenance and 20-year service life figures rest on.
2
Coverage that changes the fan count
Up to 1,700 m2 from an industrial fan and around 330 m2 from a commercial fan. A building that would take dozens of drum fans usually takes a handful of these.
3
Under 38 dB
Both ranges run below 38 dB at the fan. Air is moved by blade area rather than by tip speed, and tip speed is what makes the noise.
4
Blades built like a wing
Aluminium magnesium alloy extruded and stretched, airfoil section, energy saving tail at the tip, T5 plus bright surface oxidation for corrosion resistance.

Questions
Questions About HVLS Ceiling Fans
Clear height decides it. Up to about 6 to 7 m the commercial fan at 2.4 m to 3.7 m is right, and it looks better in a public room. Above that, and wherever coverage per fan matters more than appearance, use the industrial range from 3 m to 7.3 m.
That depends on clear height, building shape, and what breaks up the space. Racking, cranes and partitions cut effective coverage. Send the dimensions and layout and we will return a fan count and positions rather than a floor-area division.
Yes, and that is where the heating saving comes from. Run at low speed, the fan destratifies: warm air trapped at the roof is mixed back to the floor instead of heating the roof structure.
Cement beams, I-beams and square steel structures are all standard. Where there is no roof structure above, a pole mount is available.
There is no gearbox and no lubrication schedule. Work is limited to cleaning the blades, checking the fixing and end cover screws, and inspecting the junction box wiring for loose or burnt terminals.
