Direct-Drive Overhead Fan

July 19, 2019

The exceptionally engineered Powerfoil D is the first and only direct-drive overhead fan designed for harsh industrial environments. In the hot, dusty environments that put competitors’ fans out of commission, Powerfoil D thrives with cool, quiet operation.

 

We knew that to have the first direct-drive overhead fan to withstand industrial abuse, we’d have to design and purpose-build it ourselves. We didn’t use off-the-shelf components or rely on outside engineers to do what we do best; we developed an all-new drive and motor and created the only overhead fan that comes standard with an IP66 rating and max temperature rating of 131°F (55°C).

 

Powerfoil D has the size and muscle to create high-volume airflow, but it’s not all brawn; its Neodymium magnet motor runs quietly and with incredible efficiency, so there’s no mechanical noise to distract people in your space. The airflow from Powerfoil D makes occupants feel up to 10 °F (6 °C) cooler in summer, and in winter gently recirculates the heated air trapped at the ceiling back down where people need it.

 

The patented Airfoil Restraint System suspends your fan’s airfoils in the event of severe impact damage. Featuring durable nylon straps that extend from hub to winglet, the Airfoil Restraint System is standard on 20- and 24-foot models (available upon request for smaller diameters) and keeps people, products, and property out of harm’s way.

 

Powerfoil D is pre-programmed to integrate with your fire suppression and building automation systems (0-10 VDC, Modbus standard), so there’s no time-consuming setup. Just mount the fan’s digital, variable-speed wall controller to a standard junction box with a Cat5 cable and you’re up and running. A resistive-touchscreen makes it easy to turn your fan on or off, change speed, and set password protection.

Powerfoil D delivers strength and performance required for industrial applications, but with virtually silent operation and aesthetic appeal to thrive in any commercial or public setting.
