Patterson Fan Co.: db - The Quiet Fan

Today, PFC’s philosophy on air movement has changed the mindset of how America’s premier companies cool their distribution centers. Before PFC’s revolutionary high velocity blue fans were introduced, the only thing facility managers had to rely on for heat relief were typical cage style fans. Cage fans provided little comfort, had a very limited range of air flow, and were plagued with high maintenance and...

Quiet operating fan features small footprint for maximum overhead clearance

Quiet operating fan features small footprint for maximum overhead clearance

The Patterson db quiet fan for industrial applications is made from durable, roto-molded polypropylene.

For more clearance in pick module and truck bay door applications, the fan’s small footprint allows for 50% more clearance than the supplier’s 18-inch high velocity fan.

It features a half horsepower motor to power the double blower, throwing an evenly distributed column of air 50 feet with minimal energy consumption and at 65 decibels for quiet operation.


Company Description:

With an evenly distributed column of air, the ‘DB’ is the only high-velocity “quiet fan” on the industrial market today. This innovative, distinctly sleek design requires minimum space, while emulating the performance of our most popular 18” fan, the industry standard in pick module applications.

Conceived with distribution and fulfillment centers in mind, this low-profile unit seamlessly combines the need for increased air movement with the noise reduction requirements commonly found in today’s modern pick modules.

The DB’s small footprint provides more headroom in pick modules, dock door applications, and low-ceiling areas, allowing 50% more clearance than a similar performing 18-inch high-velocity fan. It features a half horsepower motor to power the double blower, throwing an evenly distributed dual column of air 50-feet with minimal energy consumption.

​With low noise emitted at just 60 decibels, the DB is 70% quieter than a standard 18-inch high-velocity fan. Ease of communication is greatly improved with this level of noise reduction, and improved communication is a key component of greater productivity.
