Industrial air movement solutions you can trust from Swifter Fans.
For three decades, Swifter Fans has been pioneering air movement technology that maximizes efficiency and performance. Whether we’re providing comfort cooling in a local warehouse or industrial process cooling in a nuclear power plant, our customers trust us because of our unwavering focus on quality engineering.
A cool breeze is only the beginning of the benefits to intelligent airflow.
De-stratify the air by circulating massive volumes of air and eliminate hot and cold spots for maximum spacial comfort.
Combat airborne particles, pathogens and pollution by attacking stagnant air pockets with airflow.
Reduce your carbon footprint and save costs by supporting existing HVAC and process cooling systems.
Reduce employee fatigue by alleviating temperature-related discomfort and maximize equipment output with high-performance airflow.
High-Volume Low-Speed (HVLS) fans are large-diameter ceiling fans designed to move large volumes of air at low rotational speeds. They are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and agricultural settings for efficient air circulation. Our HVLS fans range from 8 feet to 24 feet in diameter.
HVLS fans move large volumes of air with slowly rotating wing blades, resulting in highly efficient airflow. The gentle airflow mixes the air within a space and creates a cooling effect by evaporating moisture from the skin. During summer months, the fans are effective in distributing warm air down from the ceiling.
From comfort and productivity to health and safety, there are too many benefits to ignore. HVLS fan create consistent, facility-wide airflow that makes occupants feel more comfortable while eliminating hot and cold spots. From a health & safety perspective, continuous air circulation prevents stagnation, reduces condensation on floors, and helps disperse airborne particles and fumes. And since the fans dramatically improve energy efficiency by allowing summer thermostat settings to be raised 4-7°F without sacrificing comfort while re-claiming ceiling-trapped warm air during the winter, users reduce their utility bills by up to 30% annually.
Your HVLS requirements will depend mainly on the size of your space, the amount of airflow you need, and building compatibility. Swifter has a team of experts and a proprietary selection program that will offer recommendations based on these variables. For context, our largest HVLS fans (24 feet in diameter) can cover up to 15,000 square feet in surface area.
HVLS fans are typically mounted on ceilings using specialized brackets and require professional installation to ensure safety and proper performance. Our fans are compatible with I-beams, solid beams, angle iron, pitched room and square tube configurations. To ensure that you’re following the correct steps, please refer to the product installation guide included with our products. Contact us for more information.
While our HVLS fans are designed to improve environmental quality in occupied facilities, our equipment fans are engineered specifically for process heating and cooling applications such as cooling towers, heat exchangers, and industrial processes.
Swifter’s equipment line includes a broad spectrum of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite axial fans up to 50’ in diameter. They are energy-efficient, ultra-quiet, and can withstand harsh chemicals and extreme conditions.
Swifter’s HVLS facility fans are highly versatile and can be used in virtually any commercial, industrial, and agricultural setting with occupants. Specific applications include but are not limited to warehouses, distribution centers, gymnasiums, bakeries, retail spaces and automotive service areas.
Our composite equipment fans are typically used in more challenging process cooling environments. The most common applications for these fans are cooling towers and other heat exchangers used in data centers, power plants, and chemical plants. We have also introduced equipment fans in agricultural settings such as dairy farms.
Please see our Industries page for more information.
Swifter offers several customization options across its facility and equipment fan lines, including blade material, colors, finishes, and control systems. Given our manufacturing capabilities, we’re also able to accommodate requirements for fan casings, louvers/dampers, and composite driveshafts.
