Big Ass Fans Company Profile

Big fan handles harsh industrial environments.

Big fan handles harsh industrial environments.

For 20 years, Big Ass industrial fans have set the standard for powerful, efficient airflow that transforms uncomfortable facilities and lowers overhead costs. We led the way with direct-drive technology 10 years ago; now we’re pacing the field with Powerfoil D, the only direct-drive overhead fan purpose-built for harsh industrial conditions. In the hot, dusty environments that put competitors’ fans out of commission, Powerfoil D thrives with cool, quiet operation.

  • Diameter options from 8 to 24 feet
  • IP66 rating for indoor or outdoor use
  • 10-year mechanical warranty; 5-year electrical (extended warranty available)
  • Powerful Neodymium magnet motor
  • 200-277 / 338-480 multi-phase VAC options

Safety First (and Second and Third…)

Big Ass Fans was forged in industrial conditions, so we fully appreciate the need for products that promote and maintain safe operations in tough environments. That’s why no other industrial fan has more redundant safety features than Powerfoil D.

  • Durable Grade 8 hardware and no critical exposed welds for fail-safe connections
  • Two-set safety cable system made from aircraft-grade galvanized steel
  • Steel retainers and Airfoil Restraint System for robust hub and airfoil security
  • Built-in accelerometer for automatic shutdown upon impact
  • Fire suppression system integration for automated safety

The Latest Tool on our Safety Belt

The patented Airfoil Restraint System suspends your fan’s airfoils in the event of severe impact damage. Featuring durable nylon straps that extend from hub to winglet, the Airfoil Restraint System is standard on 20- and 24-foot models (available upon request for smaller diameters) and keeps people, products, and property out of harm’s way.
