OVERVIEW

Tired of Fans That Don’t Reach Far Enough? This 48" Direct-Drive Drum Fan Moves Air Deep Into Large Commercial and Industrial Spaces

When heat builds up on the floor, productivity drops fast. A 48" drum fan like this is designed for those moments—when HVAC can’t keep up, and you need serious airflow right now. Built by Triangle Engineering, this portable unit moves a massive volume of air to cool people, protect equipment, and keep work areas usable in demanding conditions.

With airflow in the 19,000+ CFM range, this fan doesn’t just stir the air—it pushes it. That high-velocity movement improves perceived temperature by accelerating evaporation and breaking up hot zones that form around machinery, workstations, and dock doors. You feel the difference within minutes, not hours.

The 48-inch diameter matters more than most people expect. Larger blades move air farther and wider, making this fan far more effective in wide aisles, high ceilings, and long production lines than smaller portable units. Instead of trying to cool an entire building, you aim airflow exactly where heat is concentrated.

The direct-drive motor keeps maintenance straightforward. No belts. Fewer wear points. Just consistent performance, even with frequent start-stop use in dusty or high-traffic environments. That reliability is why direct-drive designs are common in industrial air movers meant for daily operation.

Portability is where this fan quietly shines. The wheeled drum housing lets teams reposition it as conditions change—seasonal heat, temporary lines, shutdowns, or overtime shifts. Today it cools a packing lane; tomorrow it supports airflow on a loading dock or pushes fumes toward exhaust paths.

Beyond comfort, strong air circulation improves overall air quality by reducing stagnant pockets and lingering odors. Many facilities use this unit alongside other portable ventilation equipment to improve conditions without costly upgrades. Think of it as targeted airflow that actually works—similar to how a high-capacity barrel fan is used, just built for tougher spaces.

If you’re managing heat in large, open areas, this fan delivers airflow that makes the space feel workable again. Simple. Rugged. Effective.

FEATURES

• High-Volume 48" Airflow for Real Heat Relief
  The 48-inch blade diameter and deep-pitch propeller move a massive volume of air (19,000+ CFM) across wide bays, long aisles, and workstations, helping reduce perceived temperature and break up hot, stagnant zones where smaller fans or hvac falls short.

• Direct-Drive 1 HP Motor — No Belts to Maintain
  A 1 HP direct-drive motor delivers consistent airflow without the downtime, power loss, or maintenance associated with belt-driven fans. Fewer moving parts mean better reliability for daily industrial use.

• Continuous-Duty TEFC Motor for Harsh Environments
  The totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor is built for dusty, dirty, and high-use spaces, allowing continuous operation in warehouses, factories, and repair shops without overheating or premature wear.

• Rugged Steel Drum Housing Built to Take Abuse
  The painted steel barrel construction protects the fan in high-traffic industrial areas, resisting dents, impacts, and job-site wear that would damage lighter-duty housings.

• Portable, Wheeled Design for Spot Cooling
  Integrated wheels make it easy to roll the fan exactly where airflow is needed—shipping lanes, assembly lines, dock doors, or maintenance zones—so you cool people and equipment without conditioning the entire building.

• OSHA-Compliant Spiral Wound Safety Guards
  Heavy-duty spiral guards provide protection around the blades while maintaining strong airflow, helping meet safety expectations in regulated industrial environments.

• Simple 230V Plug-In Power
  Designed to run on standard 230-volt, single-phase power with a 10-foot cord, this fan installs quickly with no special wiring, letting teams deploy airflow fast during heat waves or peak operations.

• Targeted Cooling and Ventilation Support
  High-velocity airflow helps push heat, odors, and nuisance fumes toward exhaust paths while also supporting more even air circulation across the floor—useful for comfort, air quality, and process support.
