The right fan for every situation

Fancom supplies a range of fans especially designed for use in animal houses. The fans are available in diameters from 35 to 145 cm, as a wall-mounted fan or built into a chimney module. We have a suitable fan for every house.

The right fan for every situation

Complete fan

The complete fans from Fancom are incredibly easy to mount in or on the wall. The fans in the 35-56 cm and 80 cm series are supplied with a strong plastic edge. The larger fans with diameters of 63 and 92 cm are mounted in a strong steel edge. The coating on the edges also prevents corrosion with these fan versions.

Modular fan

To mount your fan under a chimney, Fancom supplies the fan in a robust, dimensionally stable synthetic module that is part of a complete package of chimney systems that supply air and are suitable for all possible types of roof. Our chimney system has a unique, quick mounting system for rapid and easy installation.

Circulation fans

Circulation fans are often used to mix the air in the house and create uniform climate conditions These circulation fans can also increase air movement at animal level to create drier litter. Our circulation fans are supplied in a robust, dimensionally stable synthetic module and are available in diameters of 40-56 cm. The technical specifications of our circulation fans are similar to the other models.

High pressure fan

Fancom has developed a number of high pressure fans with diameters of 50, 63, 80 and 92 cm, especially for central exhaust systems and other installations that use higher counter-pressures. These fans are characterised by a very high air displacement. They also feature very low energy consumption and noise production.

I-Fan 145 Xtra

Simply the best fan available

Fancom’s latest energy efficient fan is the largest in our I-fan Xtra fan series and it can be safely labelled a ‘super fan’. The large I-fan145 Xtra excels in all the traits essential for fans in livestock housing; a virtually indestructible fan with exceptionally high performances and minimum energy consumption. Add to that its outstanding controllability and comprehensive safety features and you have simply the best fan currently available.

Energy efficient

A Fancom fan combines a high air output with low energy consumption and low noise production. In addition to the wide range of standard fans, we offer a range of extremely energy efficient fans. The I-fan Xtra has a special energy efficient motor that delivers high efficiency and reduces energy losses. The low energy consumption has a positive impact on your costs as well as increasing the sustainability of the fan. The low energy consumption and excellent controllability also reduce motor heat, which extends the fan’s service life.

Outstanding adjustability

All our fans can be controlled accurately. The internal electronics in our I-fan regulate the fan RPM. This is continually monitored and automatically corrected by the motor. The extremely stable motor can be regulated to levels as low as even 25%, depending on the counter-pressures.

Virtually silent

Noise production has become an increasingly important factor during the development of a fan. A lower RPM on a number of fans and the right choice of fan blades can contribute to significantly lower noise production.

Accurate ventilation with flow measurement

There is only one way to ensure there is sufficient ventilation in all conditions: measure it! This can be done with a built-in RPM feedback sensor in your fans. The airflow can also be constantly and accurately measured using an airflow transmitter. This is a rotating transmitter that is placed in a round chimney. As air flows through the chimney, the transmitter starts to rotate. The RPM of the airflow transmitter is indicative of how much air is flowing through the chimney. The Fancom climate controllers use this airflow measurement to precisely control the ventilation level. Never too much, or too little. An energy-saving solution that also saves on heating costs.

What aspects should be considered when choosing the right fan?

There are very few situations where natural ventilation is adequate to meet the demands of a healthy house climate. For this reason, the majority of buildings that house animals are mechanically ventilated. When choosing the right fan, there are a number of aspects to consider:

Choose a fan that is resistant to the aggressive substances in the house air. A pig or poultry house is ”enemy territory” for most materials, and the aggressive substances have destructive effects. However, with a Fancom fan in the house there's no need to worry. Fancom fans feature an aluminium motor housing, plastic or coated steel edges and synthetic fan blades. The IP66 classification makes then highly resistant to corrosion and corrosive substances.

Pay attention to a fan’s noise production levels. Generally, the larger the fan is, the higher the noise production. However, Fancom has resolved this issue by fitting fans with larger diameters with a motor that runs at a lower RPM. The result is significantly lower noise production.

Consider how well the fans can be regulated, and make sure they deliver a stable air output even at lower capacities and are not affected by pressure influences such as wind, for example. Fancom fans have an extremely stable motor that can be regulated to low levels The motor will still deliver a guaranteed air flow and automatically compensates for wind influences, for example. In many situations, adjustable fans can be combined with more economical on/off fans.
