What is an exhaust fan and how to choose one?
An exhaust fan extracts hot, dusty, smoky or odorous air from an enclosed space so fresh air can replace it. Warehouses, factories and workshops use them all year: removing heat under the roof in summer and humidity, dust, process smoke and odours in winter.
To choose the right exhaust fan, calculate the volume (width × length × height) and the hourly air exchange you need; production areas with dust and smoke need more frequent exchange than general storage. Our Fan Selector calculates the volume and recommended quantity for you.
The most popular warehouse exhaust fan is the 140×140 cm model: 44,500 m³/h airflow, 1.1 kW motor, 380V three-phase. A 140×140 cm 220V model serves sites without three-phase power, and a 100×100 cm 380V model suits smaller openings. All have galvanized housings, stainless steel blades and belt drive.
The louvered housing closes when the fan stops, limiting inflow and wind backflow. Fans mount on sandwich-panel, sheet or concrete walls with the installation kit; we plan quantity and layout for bulk projects free of charge.
