12 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 6 Blades | 8,500 Square Foot Coverage | 36,500 CFM

High-Volume Low-Speed Fan for Large Commercial Spaces

Built for environments where air circulation across vast areas is essential, this 12-foot diameter HVLS ceiling fan delivers exceptional performance in demanding commercial and industrial settings. With its six-blade aluminum construction and variable speed control, this unit provides comprehensive air movement across coverage areas up to 8,500 square feet while maintaining whisper-quiet operation below 57 dBA.

Engineered to handle demanding conditions with a robust 0.5 HP motor, this HVLS fan moves an impressive 36,500 CFM at just 44 RPM. The wall-mounted VFD controller offers precise speed regulation with integrated safety features, while the aluminum blade construction ensures durability and consistent airflow distribution throughout large spaces.

Comparison to Legacy Lighting

Unlike traditional high-speed ceiling fans that create uncomfortable drafts and noise, this HVLS system provides gentle, widespread air circulation that enhances comfort without disruption. Many industrial teams choose this fixture because it operates at significantly lower noise levels while covering dramatically more area than conventional fans.

• Covers 8,500 square feet compared to typical 200-400 square foot coverage of standard fans
• Operates at whisper-quiet levels under 57 dBA versus 70+ dBA of high-speed alternatives
• Moves air efficiently at low RPM, reducing energy consumption compared to multiple small fans
• Eliminates need for multiple smaller units, reducing installation and maintenance complexity

Benefits of This Fixture

Energy Savings & ROI

For facilities that require large-area air circulation, this HVLS fan delivers significant energy savings compared to operating multiple smaller units. The 0.5 HP motor efficiently moves massive air volumes while consuming minimal power across various voltage configurations, with amperage ranging from just 1.8A on 480V three-phase to 9.6A on 120V single-phase systems.

Light Quality

By comparison to facilities without proper air circulation, this fan creates uniform air movement that prevents hot spots and stagnant areas, improving overall comfort conditions that enhance visibility and worker productivity in well-lit environments.

Maintenance Reduction

What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its robust aluminum blade construction and precision-engineered motor that require minimal maintenance over extended operational periods. The low-speed operation at 44 RPM significantly reduces wear on moving components compared to high-speed alternatives, while the wall-mounted VFD controller provides easy access for routine adjustments.

Safety

From a safety perspective, the comprehensive safety features including redundant cable systems, secure hub retention, and integrated sprinkler compatibility ensure reliable operation in demanding environments. Additionally, the quiet operation below 57 dBA maintains clear communication channels critical for workplace safety.
