Industrial Ceiling Fans

Industries have huge spaces and need a fan that can work efficiently enough to perform the dual task of maintaining airflow and removing moisture particles and fumes. Hence industrial ceiling fans are different from the standard ceiling fans. They fall in the utilitarian fan category and can be used in high ceilings and for large and wide-open spaces.

The Industrial ceiling fans are also available in variety of sizes and styles and can vary in price from $50 to $200. Most industrial ceiling fans have three blades and their main function is to increase air circulation in large commercial spaces. They are mostly used in industrial facilities having high ceilings and also in warehouses.

Industrial ceiling fans normally have either metallic blades or plastic blades that can spin at higher RPM. They are required to be installed at least 10 feet from the ground as compared to standard fans (7 feet) because of their high velocity spinning. Sometimes Industrial ceiling fans are referred to as heat fans because they are used to remove the heat from the ceilings of industries and warehouses.
