Engineered for large commercial spaces, the 42" Commercial Barrel Fan moves vast volumes of air efficiently. Its large diameter impeller ensures extensive coverage in warehouses, event halls, gyms, and factories. As your manufacturer, we deliver high-performance ventilation solutions focused on maximizing airflow and coverage in expansive areas, effectively managing climate and air quality.
The 42 Inch Commercial Barrel Fan delivers 26,800 CFM of airflow for warehouses, gymnasiums, and large manufacturing floors. It uses a direct-drive 4/5 HP motor with aluminum turbo blades, eliminating belt maintenance. The fan operates at 120V/60Hz, draws 5.3 amps, and consumes 630 watts at 800 RPM. It is UL-listed and built with a powder-coated steel housing and 8-inch solid wheels for mobility.
Key Features of the 42 Inch Commercial Barrel Fan
High-Capacity Direct-Drive Airflow
A 4/5 HP motor with shielded ball bearings drives three aluminum turbo blades, producing 26,800 CFM on high speed and 21,300 CFM on low speed. Direct-drive construction removes belt slack and the need for periodic belt replacement, reducing maintenance downtime for enterprise customers.
Air Velocity and Noise Profile
Air velocity reaches 8.8 m/s at the outlet. Noise measures 85 dB(A) at 1 meter, 81 dB(A) at 2 meters, and 79 dB(A) at 3 meters on high speed. These levels are typical for large industrial fans and are acceptable in warehouses, factories, and construction zones.
Durable Motor and Housing
The motor is a thermally protected PSC type with a 100% copper-wound stator. The housing is powder-coated safety-yellow steel with an aluminum-alloy blade set. The fan carries UL, cUL, and OSHA certifications. A 9-foot SJT power cord with a grounded plug is included.
Easy Assembly and Mobility
The fan requires one assembly step out of the box. Two 8-inch solid wheels and three metal handles mounted on the barrel allow two-person movement across facility floors. Product dimensions are 44"D × 24"W × 45"H, and the unit weighs 79.8 pounds.
