The Sideways Airflow Fan.
Maximum Comfort.
Lower Utility Bills
- Unique Vector: Mounts to your ceiling truss to push massive airflow horizontally.
- Summer Relief: Keeps employees cool and productive, with or without AC.
- Winter Savings: Recovers trapped ceiling heat and drives it back to the floor.
- Watch Now: See how this unique 7’ design changes warehouse comfort in 2 minutes.
Herkules Fans (patents pending) bring together a breakthrough idea and advanced engineering designs to deliver affordable comfort for indoor spaces.
The Idea
Instead of blowing air straight down from the ceiling, the Herkules Fan blows air sideways. This unique mounting system allows multiple fans to work together to increase air circulation and eliminate cold spots caused by downward-facing fans. When strategically placed in a facility, these 7-foot diameter fans provide excellent cooling in summer and can be used at a lower setting in winter to prevent warm air from collecting at the ceiling. With the Herkules Fan system, there’s no need for huge-diameter ceiling fans.
The Design
- True airfoil blades for increased efficiency. We bend these blades to get this advanced shape similar to an airplane wing. No inefficient extruded blades here!
- Low weight, efficient direct drive motor needs no gearbox making for a safer install and easier-to-maintain fan. The fan blade design makes it possible to move a ton of air at low speed and low power.
- The 3-point truss mounting system makes it a breeze to install this fan that weighs in at only 45 pounds.
The Benefits
- One 7' high volume, low speed (HVLS) industrial fan moves air over 300 feet, up to 30,000 CFM.
- Mounted to flow sideways, multiple HVLS fans work together in larger buildings to create circulation that provides cooling airflow in summer and moves warm ceiling air down to floor level in winter.
- Low-maintenance, sealed, direct-drive motor.
- Fan weighs 45 lbs., simplifying installation; compare to 300+ lbs for gearbox-driven models.
- Fans work together to move air using fewer fans and much less energy than conventional downward-facing ceiling fans.
- Free plant layout review to suggest optimal fan locations.
Herkules Sideways Airflow Fans vs. Downward-Facing Ceiling Fans
These images show how 2 Herkules sideways flow fans could replace 7 conventional downward flow fans and provide continuous circulation.
Herkules Fans
Horizontal Flow (Continuous Circulation)
Herkules 7' horizontally mounted fans take up less ceiling space, so are easy to place. Each fan sweeps a large area feeding the next fan creating facility-wide air circulation people can feel. They are lightweight, efficient, and easy to install.
Conventional Ceiling Fans
Downward Flow (Localized Drafts)
A traditional ceiling mounted fan must work against gravity, so it is generally HEAVIER and requires MORE POWER. It also does not work in conjunction with other fans so MORE FANS ARE NEEDED for effective air movement.
