Drum Fans

Drum Fans & Industrial Floor Fans

Industrial floor fans also known as commercial floor fans or drum fans provide cooling and ventilation in industrial or commercial settings. They are designed to provide cooling with air circulation making them ideal for environments like warehouses, workshops, garages, factories, and other spaces where effective air circulation is required. 

An industrial drum fan can help reduce stagnant air, control humidity levels, and provide a more comfortable and fresher environment for workers or occupants. They are powerful enough to be used for drying purposes and help in the evaporation of moisture, which can be beneficial in certain industrial processes. These fans can help ensure a cleaner working environment as they circulate air which can help disperse airborne particles, dust, and fumes, thereby reducing potential health risks.

Industrial floor fans come in various sizes ranging from compact units to large heavy-duty units. They are typically sized by the diameter of the fan. Engweld stocks SIP and Sealey industrial fans from small 12-inch to large 36-inch sizes. The right size will depend on the size of the space where it will be used. 

One of the other important factors to consider in fans is their speed and airflow. Many industrial floor fans offer multiple speed settings allowing the user to adjust the airflow according to their needs. Generally, the higher the fan diameter the higher the speed and airflow capabilities. For example the Sealey Industrial Floor Fan 20 inch offers 3-speed settings including 100/1225/1350 rpm with 110mtr³/min airflow. The Sealey HVD24 high-velocity drum fan offers a speed range from 1300-1400 rpm with a maximum airflow of 177mtr³/min. 

Drums fans are typically freestanding or mounted on a stand for added stability. Some may have additional features like wheels making it easier to move them around and tilting blade cradles allowing users to control the direction of the airflow. Industrial drum fans can be noisier than regular household fans. Manufacturers reduce noise levels in their designs by employing features like aerodynamic blade shapes and vibration-dampening materials. 

Regular maintenance is essential to keep the drum fans in optimal working condition and to prolong their lifespan. Dust accumulates on the fan and grills so regularly cleaning those parts can ensure efficient airflow. Most industrial fans offer removable grilles or blades for easier cleaning.
