Get Real Cooling with HVLS Fans; Horticulture Fans
High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fans are a game-changer for horticulture, providing powerful yet gentle airflow that enhances both worker comfort and crop performance. In packhouses, they ensure a cooler working environment (even when doors need to remain closed for food safety), helping you to maintain productivity during peak packing seasons.
IP65-68 rated fans for cooling airflow you can rely on.
Designed with durability in mind, our HVLS fans feature IP-rated protection against dust and water ingress, making them ideal for agricultural and horticulture settings. We also offer long warranties, low maintenance, and a reversible function that prevents bag disruption while working seamlessly with extraction fans to remove excess heat.
Beyond the packhouse, HVLS fans deliver exceptional results in commercial greenhouses. By improving air circulation, they help reduce botrytis, enhance crop development, and even shorten the time between harvests; directly increasing your business’s profitability.
Invest in HVLS destratification fans that not only reduce waste but also optimize your operation from packing to production.
Working in a hot, uncomfortable environment can be distracting and even unsafe, making it harder for you to stay focused and work efficiently. When temperatures rise, productivity drops, mistakes increase, and overall packing time extends; costing your business more than you realize. But with the right fan setup, you can improve comfort, reduce errors, and achieve over 12% productivity gains, leading to faster, higher-quality output. If you're in horticulture, the benefits go even further. Industrial ceiling fans in greenhouses not only create a better working environment but have also been used to reduce botrytis and improve plant growth through even airflow. By keeping your team comfortable and productive, you can shorten packing times, lower labour costs, and see a real return on investment with healthier crops and increased yields.
