Textile floors run hot. Machines throw off heat continuously, humidity is often held deliberately high for yarn behaviour, and stitching floors pack a large number of operators into a fixed layout. Pedestal fans at each table lift lint and loose thread into the air and take up floor space, while the operators furthest from a fan work in still air. Productivity drops through the afternoon and quality follows it.
Ceiling mounted HVLS fans deliver uniform, low-velocity air across the whole floor, so every operator position is treated the same. Because the air moves slowly over a wide area rather than fast over a narrow one, lint stays down instead of being whipped into circulation. The wind chill effect gives the perceived 4 – 5 degree drop that keeps operators comfortable through a full 10 – 12 hour exposure, and floor space that was occupied by pedestal fans goes back to production.
Typical selections for this facility type. Final size and quantity come out of the feasibility study once we have your roof height and layout.

No — that is the difference between high-volume low-speed and conventional high-speed fans. Air velocity at floor level is gentle, so lint settles rather than circulating. Most units report cleaner floors after switching from pedestal fans.
They generally help by distributing the conditioned air evenly instead of leaving pockets. Speed is set at commissioning so the humidity profile stays where your process needs it.
Yes. Reverse rotation at low speed pulls the warm ceiling layer down to floor level without a draught, which is genuinely useful in northern units.
Every pedestal fan removed frees roughly 4 sq.ft. of floor plus its cable run. On a large stitching floor this adds up to several machine positions.
Industry is pre-selected. Add your dimensions and we come back with a fan size, a quantity and a layout drawing.
Send us the basics and our team will respond within one working day.
Give us your shed bay by bay and we come back with a fan size, a quantity and a layout drawing — no charge, no obligation.
Measure each bay on its own — length, width, and roof height from the floor to the underside of the truss. Then take two or three photos looking straight up at the roof, so we can read the roof type and the hanging arrangement.
