Exhaust fans remove air from a room and make it possible for fresh air to enter the space. Generally, they are mounted to the ceiling and extract air into the attic and eventually out of the building or directly on the walls to extract air straight outdoors. For commercial spaces such as warehouses, bakeries, machine shops and more, having at least one exhaust fan is a must. In a room where automotive, paint or other types of fumes are being produced, having an exhaust fan system installed is a not only a comfort but also a safety issue.
Direct drive exhaust fans
A direct drive exhaust fan is one type of exhaust fan, and its blades move with the rotation of the motor itself instead of having a belt between the two components. Using these directly driven exhaust fans offers many advantages over other types of exhaust fans. Because they are not attached to belts and because they do not use bearings, directly drive exhaust fans are a very low-maintenance type of equipment. Furthermore, their lack of parts relative to belt-driven fans means that they are usually more compact. With a direct drive fan, switching the speed of the fan generally works well.
