Information About Industrial Ceiling Fans

 

Industrial ceiling fans are spinner ceiling fans with metal blades, most of the time containing three blades, some manufacturers did offer four blade industrial ceilings fans as well. Imported Asian manufacturers in the 1960s started to produce industrial ceiling fans, which were and are very common overseas. Companies such as Wingtat and S.M.C. to name a few have been making industrial ceiling fans since the 1960s. A lot of companies also put out a four wood blade version of their industrial ceiling fans, using the same motor etc. In the United States, Industrial ceiling fans were all over the market back in the 1970s and early 80s. Many consumers were purchasing them for their homes and installing them in their bedrooms, Living rooms, and Kitchens etc.. These fans were quite dangerous for homes. Blades are metal, most industrial ceiling fan motors move the blades at a high speed. Any body parts were caught in the blades such as fingers, hands, arms, could end up with a cut or bruise. Many industrial ceiling fans don't exist to much any more in homes, other than a garage or utility room. About the only place industrial ceiling fans can be purchased are hardware chains, and Wal-mart.
