Warehouse & Factories

Maintaining indoor air quality is a primary concern for all types of warehouse facilities, including storage facilities, manufacturing plants and machine shops, due to the potential for carbon dioxide build-up, pathogens, dust and excess levels of humidity. These indoor air quality problems can negatively impact the health of your employees and potentially damage your equipment, leading to an increased need for repairs and downtime. Mechanical ventilation, including ceiling fans, exhaust fans and wall supply fans, is an affordable and effective way to combat warehouse air pollutants and excessive levels of heat.

Shutter Mounted Exhaust Fans Shop All Now

Shutter wall exhaust fans are equipped with a set of shutters or louvers that are designed to open and close automatically with the fan, allowing air to flow out of the building while keeping rain, debris, and pests from entering your garage, warehouse, factory or barn. Shutter wall exhaust fans come in a variety of sizes and configurations, and may be equipped with features like variable speed controls, automatic shut-off timers, or built-in thermostats for automatic operation. They may also be made from a range of materials, including aluminum, steel, or plastic, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.

Cabinet Mounted Exhaust Fans Shop All Now

Cabinet Mounted Wall Exhaust Fans are encased within a box type cabinet for deeper or thicker thru-wall applications. While offering a different wall mounting option, these fans still serve the same purpose of exhausting or removing hot, stale and or contaminated air from the work space. Exhaust shutters and rear guards can be added to the cabinets if needed.

Panel mounted wall exhaust fans are designed to be mounted directly onto a wall, rather than using a mounting cabinet. One of the key advantages of panel mounted wall exhaust fans is their compact size, which makes them well-suited for installations in tight spaces or areas with limited access.

Upblast Axial Roof Exhaust Fans Shop All Now

Upblast axial roof exhaust fans are designed to exhaust air and fumes that collect near the ceilings in buildings. They are called "upblast" fans because the direction of the exhausted air is directed upwards away from the roof of the building. To keep out rain, snow and wind, they feature a weather tight butterfly damper that automatically closes when the unit is turned off. Their axial design is good for pulling high volume of air from open areas or very short duct runs with minimal static pressure and are typically used in commercial and industrial settings, such as warehouses, factories, and office buildings.

Ceiling Fans Shop All Now

Ceiling fans are widely used in the commercial, industrial and agriculture industries for creating a downward stream of air that can be felt at ground level. The ceiling circulating fan is also an efficient and effective way to stir stale and stagnant air in your building or facility. Typical applications for these fans are gyms, food service, warehouses, factories, barns, dairies, workshops, halls, churches or any where air movement is needed.

HVLS Fans Shop All Now

High-volume low-speed (HVLS) fans are large, ceiling-mounted fans with diameters ranging from 6 to 24 feet that move air at low speeds to create a cooling effect. Benefits for commercial and industrial applications include: energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, increased employee comfort and productivity, and reduced reliance on air conditioning and heating systems.

Tube Axial Belt Drive Shop All Now

Belt drive tube axial inline fans are quieter than direct drive units and have the benefit of keeping the motor out of the airstream of the fan. Belt driven units are well suited for exhausting hot or contaminated air out of your space.

Tube Axial Direct Drive Shop All Now

Direct drive tube axial inline fans may be the chosen if looking for a duct fan for a tighter space, lower maintenance than a belt drive unit, or a lesser cost for moving air in or out of a space. These inline fans are for moving clean, dry air in and out of your building through ductwork.

Cabinet Wall Supply Shop All Now

Cabinet mounted wall supply fans are encased within a box type cabinet for deeper or thicker thru-wall applications. While offering a different wall mounting option, these fans still serve the same purpose of supplying fresh, clean outside air to replace the hot, stale and or contaminated air you are exhausting from the work space.

Panel Wall Supply Shop All Now

Panel mounted wall supply fans are ventilation devices that are installed directly into a wall panel to supply fresh air to a building or enclosed space. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings, such as warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing facilities, where effective ventilation is essential for maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment. Panel mounted wall supply fans are available in a variety of sizes and airflow capacities, with different blade configurations and motor options depending on the specific application.

Evaporative Cooling Fans Shop All Now

Evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, work by blowing warm air over water-saturated pads. As the air passes over the wet pads, the water evaporates, which cools the air. This cooled air is then blown into the indoor or outdoor space. Evaporative coolers are typically more energy-efficient than air conditioners, as they use less electricity and do not require the use of refrigerants. Industrial Fans Direct offers a wide range of sizes and designs from the best manufacturers for you to choose from.

Drum & Barrel Cooling Fans Shop All Now

Drum fans are large, round fans that can be mounted on a portable wheeled stand or a pedestal. They have a drum-shaped housing and a powerful motor that can move a large volume of air. Drum fans are often used in situations where a high volume of air movement is required, such as in a large workshop, warehouse or outdoor area.

High Velocity Fans Shop All Now

HVLS (high volume, low speed) drum fans are portable, extremely quiet, ground level fans that can create a gentle breeze up to 150 feet away. Equipped with wheels for easy maneuverability, they are ideal for assembly lines, work areas, warehouses, outdoor dining areas and sporting events.

Benefits of Warehouse Ventilation Fans

Warehouse ventilation fans can help control indoor humidity levels and pollutants by removing stale, contaminated air and replacing it with fresh outdoor air. Excessive heat and humidity levels combined with indoor air pollution can make employees sick and contribute to heat exhaustion and lost productivity. These same conditions can also damage your heavy machinery by allowing dust and dirt into the moving parts and contributing to equipment overheating situations.
