Built For Demand Spaces

High-traffic facilities need equipment that performs day in, day out. The AX Series fan’s direct-drive setup spins the 18-inch blade at up to 1,725 RPM without the alignment checks and belt replacements that come with belt-drive models. Because the shutters close automatically, you also block wind, rain, and pests when the fan is off, preserving indoor cleanliness and comfort.
