12FT-16FT HVLS Fans – Engineered for Large-Space Air Movement
Shanghai Aipu Fans Co., Ltd. is a China-based manufacturer and supplier of high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans. Our 12FT-16FT HVLS Fans category covers diameters from 12 to 16 feet, designed to deliver massive airflow across warehouses, workshops, gymnasiums, and other expansive facilities. Unlike traditional high-speed fans that only affect a small area, these fans circulate air over a broad footprint, improving comfort and energy efficiency.
We combine precision motor technology with robust blade design to ensure reliable, long-term operation. Our factory in Shanghai, with 8,000 square meters of production space, uses automated machining and testing centers to maintain consistent quality. We support customization and OEM services to match your specific project requirements.
Our 12FT-16FT Range
This category includes three primary models, each tailored to different airflow and installation needs:
- 12-foot 1.1kW HVLS industrial workshop ceiling fan – A compact yet powerful option for medium-sized workshops and warehouses. The 1.1kW motor provides efficient airflow with low energy consumption.
- 16-foot reversible giant HVLS ceiling fan – The largest in this range, offering reversible rotation for seasonal air distribution. Ideal for gymnasiums, aircraft hangars, and large assembly areas.
- 6-blade 13-foot large industrial HVLS ceiling fan – With six blades, this model enhances airflow uniformity and reduces noise, suitable for production floors and logistics centers.
Key Features and Components
Every fan in this range is built with components selected for durability and performance:
| Component |
Specification / Benefit |
| Motor |
Germany Nord motor with low backlash assembly and gear grinding for quiet operation. IP55 protection, IE2 efficiency. Trapezoidal shaft enhances safety and strength. |
| Inverter |
Imported Denmark Danfoss inverter with IP55, UL, EMC, and ROHS certifications. Includes overload, over-current, and emergency cut-off protection. |
| Blades |
Airfoil blades made from aluminum alloy (AI, Cu, Mg, Zn) with 3 reinforcing ribs. Lightweight, high strength, and resistant to sagging. |
| Certifications |
CCC, CE, UL for motor and electrical components. |
Application Fit
12FT-16FT HVLS fans are suited for spaces with mounting heights between 4.5 and 18 meters. They work well in:
- Industrial workshops and assembly lines
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Gymnasiums, sports halls, and waiting rooms
- Railway stations, bus terminals, and airports
- Exhibition halls and agricultural facilities
These fans can be installed on H-steel, concrete, or complex structures. They operate on 380V-420V or 220V-240V power supplies, making them adaptable to global projects.
Configuration and Control
We configure each fan with an adjustable control system that allows you to change airflow direction and speed. Depending on your application, the fan can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to optimize cooling in summer or destratification in winter. The Danfoss inverter provides precise speed control and integrates with building management systems if required.
Installation and Safety
For safe operation, the fan must be installed with a minimum ground clearance of 4 meters. We recommend a secure bearing girder or reinforced structure. Ensure no obstacles such as chandeliers or ducts interfere with the fan's sweep. Our team provides installation guidelines and can support on-site commissioning upon request.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Our production process includes rigorous testing in our in-house testing center. Each fan undergoes functional checks for motor performance, vibration, and noise levels. We follow ISO 9001 quality management practices, and our components carry relevant certifications. We can provide test reports and compliance documentation as part of the project package.
Customization and OEM
We offer customization in blade color, motor power, and control options. OEM services are available for distributors and brands that require private labeling. Our engineering team works with you to adapt the fan to your specific environmental conditions, such as high humidity or corrosive atmospheres.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare an accurate proposal, we need the following project details:
- Building dimensions (length, width, height)
- Ceiling structure type and available mounting points
- Desired airflow coverage or number of fans
- Power supply voltage and frequency
- Ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, dust, or chemical exposure)
- Any specific control or automation integration needs
With this information, we can recommend the optimal fan size, quantity, and configuration for your facility.
Maintenance and Support
Our fans are designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks include blade cleaning, motor lubrication, and inverter diagnostics. We provide spare parts and technical support throughout the product lifecycle. For international projects, we offer remote troubleshooting and documentation.
