Heavy-duty axial flow fans on rigid welded base plates for permanent floor-level installation in large factories, process plants, cooling systems, and industrial ventilation layouts requiring fixed, stable fan positioning without ductwork. IS 3588 compliant, manufacturer from Mumbai.
Base Mounted Axial Flow Fan — Manufacturer & Supplier, India
Vayuvents manufactures Base Mounted Axial Flow Fans for permanent floor installation in factories, process plants, and large industrial buildings. 305 mm to 1,830 mm dia, IS 3588 compliant. Manufacturer & supplier in Mumbai.
A Base Mounted Axial Flow Fan is a direct-drive axial fan installed on a rigid fabricated steel base plate that is permanently bolted to the factory floor or structural plinth. Unlike stand-mounted fans that can be repositioned, base-mounted fans provide a fixed, vibration-stable installation point ideal for large fan diameters and high-power motors where stability is critical.
Vayuvents manufactures base mounted axial fans at our Vasai, Mumbai works in diameters from 305 mm to 1,830 mm with motor powers from 0.25 HP to 50 HP. The base plate is engineered to the fan weight and motor torque reaction — distributing loads evenly and eliminating the vibration and movement that affects stand-mounted configurations at large fan sizes.
Base mounted axial fans are the preferred configuration for high-capacity fresh air supply and exhaust in large-span industrial buildings, for permanent installation at process equipment cooling inlets, and for cooling tower, air-cooled heat exchanger, and condenser fan service where the fan cannot be relocated after installation.
Export supply available to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and other countries with full IS 3588 documentation, certificate of origin, and material certificates.

A base mounted axial fan is bolted permanently to the floor on a rigid fabricated steel base plate — it cannot be repositioned after installation. A stand mounted fan sits on an adjustable pedestal that can be moved to different locations. Base mounting is chosen for large fans (above 600 mm diameter), high motor powers (above 5 HP), and permanent process plant and building ventilation installations where stability and vibration control are more important than flexibility.
For a 5,000 sq m factory with 8 metre ceiling height and 6 air changes per hour, the required airflow is approximately 2,40,000 m³/hr. This is typically provided by 2 to 3 fans of 1,220 mm to 1,530 mm diameter (AX-750-96-480 to AX-150-960-600 range). Vayuvents provides free sizing calculations based on your factory dimensions, ceiling height, and required air change rate.
Yes. Base mounted axial fans with IP55 motors and epoxy-painted casings are suitable for outdoor installation in covered or semi-covered areas. For fully exposed outdoor installations, IP65 motors and additional anti-corrosion paint treatment are recommended. Vayuvents supplies fans for outdoor service with appropriate motor enclosure and paint specification on request.
Vayuvents supplies base mounted fans with a fabricated MS base plate with pre-drilled anchor bolt holes. The base plate is fixed to the concrete floor plinth using M16 or M20 anchor bolts (4 to 6 bolts depending on fan size). Anti-vibration pad sets are supplied for placement between the base plate and floor surface. Vayuvents provides the anchor bolt layout drawing and recommended plinth dimensions with each fan.
Base mounted axial fans can be installed with the airflow axis horizontal (blowing across the factory floor), vertical upward (exhausting through a roof opening or duct), or at an angle. The most common industrial installation is horizontal airflow for cross-ventilation or directed cooling. A flanged casing outlet can be fitted to connect to ductwork for directed supply or exhaust if required.
Standard sizes (305 mm to 1,220 mm, up to 10 HP) are typically available within 2 to 3 weeks. Larger sizes (1,530 mm to 1,830 mm, 15 HP to 50 HP) require 4 to 6 weeks. Custom configurations, special materials, and export orders with third-party inspection may require 6 to 8 weeks. Vayuvents confirms delivery schedule at the time of order placement.
