Sanyo industrial fans

Types of Sanyo industrial fans

Sanyo industrial fans are robust air circulation equipment that come in various types. People use them mainly for massive spaces. They also create airflow torque and speed, unlike ordinary household fans.

• Sanyo pedestal fans

  Sanyo pedestal industrial fans have stands that support them on the floor. Their stands are adjustable, enabling users to change the height of the fans to their preferable air direction. They come in different types. The oscillating one rotates horizontally, distributing air in a wider area. Stationary pedestal fans don't oscillate. Some Sanyo pedestal fans have remote control functionality, enabling the user to control the fan from a distance. Other models have the control buttons located on the fan itself.

• Sanyo floor fans

  Sanyo floor industrial pedestal fans commonly use rear-blower and front-blower designs. A rear-blower fan sits behind the guard, meaning the fan cage or blade is not visible from the front. On the other hand, the front-blower design places the fan in front of the guard. The blades are visible. Additionally, a floor fan can be an exhaust or a circulator. The role of a floor exhaust fan is to pull out fresh air from the environment and replace the stagnant indoor air. Manufacturers mostly position them near windows. A floor circulator blows air around the room, creating air movement. Some Sanyo pedestal floor fans can also work as an extractor and a circulator.

  A unique feature of Sanyo floor pedestal fans is their capability to tilt. They can be positioned vertically, horizontally, and tilted in other angles. Some models can be tilted 180 degrees.

• Sanyo wall-mounted fans

  Some industrial spaces have limited floor space. In such a case, a wall-mount fan becomes a perfect alternative. Sanyo wall-mounted fans use brackets to mount on the wall. Like other industrial fans, they come in different oscillation, speed, and control functionalities.

• Sanyo blower fans

  A Sanyo blower fan works by producing a high volume of air that moves at high pressure. Their primary role in an industry is to ventilate and cool down equipment or machinery. A motor drives Sanyo blower fans. Some stay-mounted on surfaces while others are used in handheld applications. Others are integrated into protocols to perform specific functions. Sanyo blower fans are further subdivided into AC and DC types. An AC blower fan gets its power from alternating current, while a DC blower fan uses direct current. Additionally, they have different bearing types. A bearing in a fan supports the rotating shaft and allows it to spin smoothly. Sayo blower fans have sleeve and ball bearing options. The former is suitable for fans that aren't used in rugged environments, while the latter suits fans used in harsh environments.

Specification and maintenance of Sanyo industrial fans

Specifications will vary between pedestal fans, wall-mounted fans, and other styles of Sanyo industrial fans. However, some basic specifications to note are as follows:

• Speed: Many industrial Sanyo fans have multiple speed settings. Three-speed settings are an average amount. However, some fans may only have two settings or up to five speed settings.
• Noise: Noise levels are measured in decibels. A normal Sanyo fan will likely produce around 48 to 70 decibels, which is similar to the sound of a refrigerator operating, normal conversation, or a car driving from a distance. The volume will vary based on the speed setting. Higher speed fans will generally produce more decibels.
• Power: Sanyo industrial fans are powerful. They can move more than 1000 cubic feet of air per minute. Generally, the higher the CFM, the larger the fan blade. The environment and settings will affect how much air the fan moves.
• Size: Many indoor spaces can feel stuffy. A pedestal floor fan can vary in height but typically stands anywhere between three and four feet. Wall-mounted fans are not ideal for portability but can be mounted at least a few feet up. Their blade size may range between 16 inches and 30 inches. Some oscillating fans could have even larger sizes.
• Material: Typically, Sanyo industrial fans are made of plastic, steel, or aluminum. Plastic fans are less durable but lightweight and portable. Steel fans are more durable but heavier. Depending on the location and use of the fan, a sturdier and more durable fan might be more ideal.

Maintenance

It's critical to maintain an industrial fan. This action ensures the machine makes good deliveries while lengthening its life span. Typically, the maintenance process of an industrial fan is straightforward and easy.

• Regular cleaning: Dust and debris are unfortunate enemies of any fan, and if left unchecked, they can become detrimental to the device. It's important to regularly wipe down the surface with a microfiber cloth to remove dust. Washing the blades and wiping their surfaces ensures that the debris doesn't get into the motor system, which could cause damage over time.
• Check for loose parts and tighten them: Regularly check and identify any loose parts. Once noticed, this is an easy fix. However, failure to address this can lead to noise production or damage to the device.
• Lubricate moving parts: Lubricating moving parts, like the oscillating motor, bearings, and blades, is crucial. Doing this occasionally keeps the fan running smoothly. It also reduces friction to prevent wear and tear over time. Lubricants can include oil or grease.
• Storage: If the industrial fan is not in use, store it in a dry and protected location. This prevents mold or dust build-up.

Scenarios of Sanyo Industrial Fans

Due to their durability and versatility, Sanyo industrial fans have many application scopes across businesses and industries.

• Factories and Workshops

Industries like manufacturing, assembly, and heavy industries use them for ventilation, cooling, dust extraction, and drying. They create workspace ventilation for workers and ventilators, improving their productivity. Their routine breaks the stagnant air and fresh oxygen enter the system. They are also part of the dust extraction system, where they gently remove the dust from the operators' breathing space or workshop area through piping. Some factories and workshops use them for drying, where the product is further dried under ventilation.

• Warehouses

Warehouses use fans to maintain temperature control and product preservation. Cargoes like food, medicines, and seeds need constant temperature and humidity. Ventilators solve the problems.

• Construction Sites

Construction sites use industrial products for fresh air supply and temperature regulation. The ventilation is especially important for the confined spaces, improving the work safety.

• Hotels and Restaurants

Hotels and restaurants use industrial wall fans for common area ventilation and kitchens. The vast area becomes live after the fresh breeze. In the kitchen, industrial fans deal with grease and smoke, removing them from the breathing spaces.

• Cold Storage

Cold storage preserves products like food, medicine, and chemical. They maintain the temperature and humidity required to store products. The storage also needs constant ventilation for products and the storage rooms.

• Outdoor Events

Outdoor events like concerts, exhibitions, and sports competitions use industrial wall-mounted fans for audience comfort and stage ventilation. They create a conducive environment even under harsh weather conditions.

How to choose Sanyo industrial fans

Choosing the right Sanyo industrial air circulator will depend on several factors. The purpose of the application will help determine the type of fan needed. Once the purpose is known, the size of the room where the fan will be used should be considered. Powerful floor fans are ideal for large open spaces, while pedestal fans will suffice for smaller-square-foot areas.

Another factor to consider is the noise level that will be tolerated. In some cases, such as warehouses or factories, a louder decibel level will be acceptable, but in offices or schools, a quieter fan will be required. Oscillation is a feature that helps distribute air but does add to the decibel level. Some manufacturers will list the speed of the fan in revolutions per minute (RPM), and this will also determine how circulated the air will be.

Whether the fan is stand-alone or needs to be mounted is another question that needs to be asked. Many ventilator fans must be mounted to walls or ceilings because their blades are too small to generate the necessary air movements. The safety guiles for industrial fans show that movable fans are usually safer than mounted ones.

Businesses would want to know how much electricity the fan uses, expressed in watts, before deciding to purchase it. Larger blades and motors will use more electricity but are necessary for bigger areas.

Waterproof fans are needed in moist or humid environments such as swimming pools and factories where manufacturing takes place. Dust-proof fans are also needed in dusty environments and work sites where foreign objects can enter the motor and internals, damaging the fan.

Q&A

Q: What is the difference between an industrial fan and an ordinary fan?

A: Sanyo industrial fans are built to withstand the rigors of constant use and high-performance demands. They typically have more powerful motors, larger blade diameters, higher airflow capacities measured in CFM, and greater durability than ordinary home or office fans. While ordinary fans might serve the purpose of providing cooling to a limited space, industrial fans are designed to ventilate large areas and cope with tough environmental conditions.

Q: Can someone use an industrial fan at home?

A: While it is technically possible to use an industrial fan in the home, it may not be practical due to its size, noise level, and power consumption. Industrial fans are designed for large spaces. A small one may provide too little airflow to be effective. Because of their larger motors, they consume more electricity than regular household fans. This could result in an unnecessarily high electric bill if it was the only ventilating system used in the home. If considering purchasing one for home use, it will be important to look for models that are a little quieter.

Q: What kinds of safety features does an industrial fan have?

A: Protective grilles are standard safety features on all Sanyo industrial fans. Another common safety feature is thermal overload protection. This feature automatically shuts the fan off if the motor overheats, preventing damage and reducing the risk of fire hazards. Some industrial fans, especially the larger ones, have a regulation speed. This means that the rotors will be allowed to spin within a certain range, but not above or below that set zone. This safeguards the fan and its motor against potential damages and accidents.

Q: How loud are industrial fans?

A: Different types of fans will produce different noise levels. The noise level of a fan is measured in decibels (dB). The bigger the fan, the more air it moves at a higher RPM, and the greater the noise level. The blade design and the product’s quality also affect the noise. A typical noise level for an industrial fan would range from 75 dB to 90 dB. Users may need to wear hearing protection in environments above 85 dB.
