Key Features and Benefits of the Canarm 24-inch AX Series Direct Drive Shutter-Mounted Fan

• Direct-Drive Efficiency: A 1/3-horsepower motor connects directly to the fan shaft.
• High Airflow Output: Rated for up to 5,500 CFM at 0.00 static pressure (Model AX24-1V) and 5,000 CFM (Model AX24-2), you can quickly clear smoke, humidity, or odors from busy work areas.
• Automatic Aluminum Shutters: The aluminum shutters seal tightly when the fan is off, helping prevent backdrafts, rain intrusion, and energy loss.
• Totally Enclosed Motor: The totally enclosed motor is protected from dust, debris, and overheating, extending service life in demanding environments.
• OSHA-Compliant Guard: A heavy wire, chrome-plated safety guard protects personnel and meets workplace safety requirements.
• Quiet for Its Class: Operating at up to 77 dB, the fan balances high airflow with manageable noise levels for most commercial sites.
• Multiple Speed Options: Choose a single-speed or variable-speed model of this fan to match ventilation requirements in diverse applications.

Note: For variable speed operation, a variable speed controller is required.
