Much Ado About Direct Drive Fans & Blowers

What is a direct drive blower? Do I need one? What does it do? Yes, you probably have a million questions about this blower and may not even realize you need one. Simply put, with a direct drive fan, the fan blades and motor rotate at the exact same speed. Why is that important? This results in greater efficiency with less wasted energy. Additionally, these fans require less maintenance, which saves money over time. Now, that you know the basics, let’s get into the details.

Advantages

A direct drive exhaust fan boasts many advantages over a belt drive fan. Since direct drive fans have fewer parts, they require less maintenance. In fact, these fans typically consist of only a motor, fan and coupling. Additionally, these fans are usually more compact so they’re great when space is limited. With higher efficiency, your fan is more productive, which also helps save money in the long run.

Ventilate, Ventilate, Ventilate

What is a direct drive roof fan good for? It’s good for ventilation, whether in a warehouse, a commercial kitchen, equipment room or just for general ventilation. The better the fresh air is flowing, the better it is for everybody involved. These specialized fans help get rid of dirty, contaminated air and help fresh air flow in for improved air quality.

Comparison Shop

Although direct drive fans are great, you should still make sure it’s the right fan for you. Look over other fans to check out what they do, their costs, upkeep and more. Reach out to trusted professionals to seek their advice before making such an important purchase. It never hurts to get a second opinion.
