Agricultural Ceiling Fans
Agricultural Grade or Harsh Environment Ceiling Fans
The following Agricultural Grade Ceiling Fans have a dust/moisture resistant motor seal and are suitable for Harsh Environment use. All of the 48" to 60" models have a baked-on enamel finish. The Agricultural Ceiling Fans shown on this page are perfect for food processing plants, wet factory locations, indoor swimming pool areas, exposed shipping areas, outdoor restaurants, outdoor shopping malls, poultry houses, livestock barns, hog houses, green houses, stables or any other application in need of an agricultural ceiling fan built to last in a harsh environment. Horse Barns, stables and equine applications are all about year-round comfort for the horses and riders. As temperatures rise Agricultural Ceiling Fans can be used to circulate the air vertically by strategically locating the fan directly over the horse stalls. The air velocity generated by the ceiling fan can be used to keep the floor dry and make it uncomfortable for insects to crawl on and stress your horses. Evaporative cooling is another benefit by creating a gentle breeze and can lower the temperate by 3 degrees Fahrenheit and cause the evaporative cooling effect. In cooler weather, agriculture ceiling fans running at lower speeds will push rising heat back down to floor level while minimizing moisture and condensation. Poultry Farmers use ceiling fans to lower energy costs in cooler months by up to 40% to prevent temperature stratification. By constantly forcing hot air down to the floor you equalize room temperature and minimize propane costs. Cooling in recent years has become more important as the density of birds per square feet has increased and the poultry houses have become larger. Heat stress can lower productivity, profits and increase mortality. An effective way to lower heat stress is by lowering the birds internal body temperature through providing a consistent air stream around their heads and bodies. Uniform air flow is important to keep the birds from grouping together. Carefully planned locations of ceiling fans help you to get the entire floor space so that every bird in the house is reached by the fans. |
