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.
Ventilation and Cooling for Manufacturing Workshops
A workshop that runs too hot costs more than comfort. Above the normal range, people are prone to heat stroke, sweat secretion rises to the point of dehydration, concentration falls, and mistakes follow. Machinery has its own version of the same problem: heat generated in operation that is not discharged simply accumulates, wearing equipment and, in the worst case, causing fires.
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong Without Air Movement
1
Central air conditioning does not scale to an open workshop
For large-area open workshops, the investment and the maintenance cost of central air conditioning are relatively large. It suits dust-free rooms, not a press shop.
2
Air coolers need too many units and too much water
When large-scale cooling is required, a single air cooler is loud and the unit count is high. A large factory can get through dozens of tonnes of water a month on cooling fans alone.
3
Water curtains raise humidity where it is not wanted
The evaporative water curtain works, but it adds moisture. Furniture coating, food processing and dry storage warehouses are all ruled out on that basis.
4
Hundreds of small fans is not a strategy
Floor-standing horn fans occupy space, get knocked, fail often and each cover only tens of square metres. A large plant ends up with hundreds of them and a total power consumption and maintenance load to match.
Customer Requirements
What This Industry Asks For
- Cooling that covers a bay rather than a workstation
- Extraction where the process puts heat, fume or dust into the building
- Equipment rated for continuous duty in dust, oil mist and vibration
- High-temperature fans where drying, coating or curing is part of the process
Send the building and the duty rather than a fan model. In this
industry the constraint is almost never the fan itself, it is the structure, the
obstructions and the supply on site.

Where the Fans Actually Go
Recommended Products
The Products That Fit This Industry
HVLS Ceiling Fan
HVLS Floor Fan
Big Movable Fan
A wheeled HVLS fan that throws air up to 28 m in open space, for bays where nothing can be hung from the roof and the cooling has to follow the work.
HVLS Floor Fan
Industrial Stand Fan
Three sizes, four wheels, IP55, and a pivot that puts the air where the work is rather than where the fan happens to point.
Wall Fan
Industrial Exhaust Cooling Fan
One-piece formed housing with extra-thick zinc coating, automatic shutters and a bottom drain, for negative-pressure ventilation in hot, humid and smelly buildings.
High Temperature Axial Fan
GKF GKT Drying Fan
Rated for 130 C ambient and 98 percent humidity, in eleven diameters and four mounting types, for paint lines, tobacco, rubber, pharmaceutical and timber drying.
High Temperature Axial Fan
CBF Explosion-Proof Fan
ExdIIBT4 marked to GB3836.2 and IEC 60079 for Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas, in four mounting types and six diameters.
How We Deliver
From Your Drawing to a Container
1
Separate the heat sources from the general load
Furnaces, moulding machines and coating ovens need extraction at the source. The rest of the building needs circulation. Treating them as one problem produces the wrong system.
2
Check the roof before choosing a format
Crane travel, low beams and leased-unit restrictions decide between ceiling fans and portable floor fans more often than budget does.
3
Match the axial fans to the process conditions
For drying, coating and curing, the applied conditions are what matter: ambient temperature, humidity, carried dust and whether combustible gas is present.
4
Build the order as one shipment
Ceiling fans, exhaust fans, drying fans and spares consolidate into one container with a single HS code for the axial items.

Questions
Questions From This Industry
The air volume that gives the best cooling sensation on human skin is in the 1 to 3 m/s range, and employees can feel a temperature difference effect of 5 to 8 degrees under a large industrial fan. That is a perceived difference, not a change in air temperature.
A large industrial fan up to 7.3 m in diameter covers a wide area, is easy to clean and has low energy consumption compared with the alternatives. Small fans have short service lives, are often damaged, occupy floor space and cover only tens of square metres each.
Circulation alone will not fix that. Wall exhaust fans running negative pressure remove the fume through the wall, with the inlet openings planned on the opposite side. Circulating fans then handle the comfort of the remaining air.
For the drying and curing side, the GKF GKT axial range at up to 130 C and 98 percent humidity, provided there is no combustible gas. Where flammable vapour is present, only the CBF explosion-proof range with ExdIIBT4 marking is appropriate.
Usually yes, positioned between bays or below the rail depending on the clear height. Send the clear height to the underside of the rail and the rail spacing and we will confirm the diameter that fits.
