68 Inch Commercial Ceiling Fan | 8 Blades | 7,024 CFM | 120V | Matte Black

Product Overview

This 8 foot HVLS ceiling fan features a 6-blade aluminum design with a variable speed range from 25 to 120 RPM. The fan is powered by an 800 watt PMSM direct drive motor and operates at a sound level below 40 dBA.

The fan is finished in black and weighs 47 lbs. It is supplied with a 39 inch downrod, with custom lengths available. The standard mounting method is I-beam.

Voltage compatibility includes 208V-240V as standard, with 277V-480V available as an option. The fan is controlled by a wall-mounted VFD and remote control.

The IP57 rating allows use in environments where dust and water exposure are present. The coverage area is rated for up to 1,600 square feet.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fan is suited for commercial and industrial spaces requiring air movement across areas up to 1,600 square feet. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing floors, and distribution centers.

The IP57 rating supports use in locations where dust and water exposure are expected, such as loading docks or production areas. The low sound level allows installation in occupied spaces where noise is a concern.

The 8 foot diameter and 6-blade configuration are appropriate for spaces with adequate ceiling height and open floor plans. The I-beam mounting is compatible with standard structural steel commonly found in industrial buildings.

Variable speed control allows adjustment for seasonal or process-specific airflow needs.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 800 watt PMSM direct drive motor provides consistent torque and low maintenance requirements. Variable speed operation from 25 to 120 RPM allows precise control of air movement.

The aluminum blades are lightweight and corrosion resistant, supporting long-term use in demanding environments. The fan operates at less than 40 dBA, minimizing disruption in noise-sensitive areas.

The IP57 rating means the fan can tolerate dust and water exposure, including occasional washdown or humid conditions. The coverage area of 1,600 square feet is based on open, unobstructed layouts.

The wall-mounted VFD controller with remote provides flexibility for adjusting speed and operation from a central location or at a distance.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan is designed for I-beam mounting, which is standard in most commercial and industrial facilities. The 39 inch downrod provides clearance for optimal airflow; custom downrod lengths are available for site-specific requirements.

Voltage compatibility includes 208V-240V as standard, with 277V-480V available for facilities with higher voltage distribution. The fan draws 1.0 amp at 220V.

The direct drive motor reduces the need for belt or gearbox maintenance. The aluminum blade construction resists corrosion and minimizes weight on the mounting structure.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended for long-term reliability. The IP57 rating supports use in areas where periodic cleaning or exposure to moisture occurs.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the fan is typically operated using the wall-mounted VFD controller or the included remote. You can adjust the speed to match seasonal changes or specific process needs, such as increasing airflow during warmer months or reducing speed for quieter operation.

The low sound output allows the fan to run during occupied hours without interfering with communication or workflow. The aluminum blades require minimal cleaning and are not prone to corrosion, even in humid or dusty environments.

The fan?s coverage area supports even air distribution in open spaces, helping to reduce temperature stratification. The direct drive motor design means there are no belts to replace, reducing downtime and ongoing maintenance tasks.

Custom downrod lengths can be specified to accommodate unique ceiling heights or obstructions, ensuring the fan is positioned for optimal performance in your facility.
