6metre+ ceiling fan

[Blue.]

I'm looking for a large ceiling fan for my cow shed,has anyone come across one?

I've seen the USA made big ass fans but they are very expensive and I would prefer one from closer to home.

I want to move some serious volume of air,the shed is 33' to the peak and has volume I just want to move it and don't think little fans will work,also 1 fan will be cheaper to run.

look for a scrapper microlite they produce some serious air

 

[jimmer]

there is a place near which does motor rewinds and recons and he has always got old but good motors about the place
if he had one that was a slow turner It wouldn't be too hard to fit some blades surely

poultry house 4 or 5 ft belt drive fans, you need some airspeed for venting, batting air around with great big slow paddles will do very little

The reason for 1 fan is cost of running (1000 watt motor) there all the rage in the us, local large herd has 1 and rate it.

There was a bit in the last farm ideas mag that might help you, was a big suckler shed with a big home made fan in it.

without air speed a fan is pointless you need to move the air away not slowly recirulate

I would have though the best way to get good ventilation would be an extractor fan in the roof. Forget moving air about, get rid of the hot air and cooler air will take its place.
