Drum Fans
Drum Fans for Powerful Air Circulation
Drum fans are durable, cost-effective air circulators designed to deliver powerful, focused airflow in large spaces like warehouses, factories, and workshops. Their primary role is to improve air circulation and ventilation—creating a more comfortable, productive environment.
Built with a cylindrical, drum-shaped housing and OSHA-compliant finger guards, each unit features a high-performance motor that drives angled blades to move large volumes of air. The shape of the drum helps direct airflow efficiently across wide areas, making these fans ideal for spot cooling.
Available in two-speed (36” and 42” diameters) and three-speed (37” diameter) models, our drum fans are equipped with high-efficiency motors and require minimal maintenance. Heavy-duty wheels make them easy to move through aisles and doorways for flexible, targeted cooling.
For even greater efficiency, combine drum fans with HVLS ceiling fans to circulate air throughout large facilities. While HVLS fans reduce stagnant zones with consistent airflow, drum fans focus on high-heat areas like workstations or machinery.

Drum Fans
Where a Large Drum Fan is Indispensable:
Industrial Workshops
These areas often deal with heat-generating machinery and equipment. A Drum Fan helps cool things down, providing a comfortable work environment.
Warehouses and Storage Facilities
An industrial Drum Fan improves air circulation in these vast spaces, reducing humidity and preventing the buildup of stagnant air.
Commercial Kitchens
With its ability to dissipate heat and smoke, a portable Drum Fan is essential. It ensures a safe and comfortable working environment for cooks and waitstaff.
Gyms and Fitness Centers
A Drum Fan aids in creating a cooler and more comfortable exercise environment by promoting air circulation.
Event Venues
In large gatherings, a large Drum Fan maintains a comfortable temperature for attendees.
Agricultural Settings
In barns or greenhouses, a portable Drum Fan ensures proper ventilation and temperature control, which is vital for the health of animals and plants. Used in conjunction with HVLS barn ceiling fans, a Drum Fan helps to keep livestock comfortable.
Construction Sites
A Drum Fan disperses dust and provides cooling for workers, enhancing safety and comfort on the job.
Automotive Shops
In a setting where heat-generating equipment is frequently used and fumes quickly accumulate, a large Drum Fan significantly improves air circulation and ventilation. An industrial Drum Fan reduces the risk of overheating and efficiently disperses harmful fumes or dust. Additionally, the directed airflow from a Drum Fan quickly dries painted or washed vehicles.
Aviation Facilities
In hangars or assembly plants, a high-velocity Drum Fan – working in tandem with HVLS ceiling fans – effectively manages temperature and improves air circulation. This reduces the risk of heat stress and fatigue among workers. Additionally, Drum Fans assist in dispersing fumes or airborne particles resulting from various operations, thereby maintaining better air quality.
