Portable Fan — Manufacturer & Supplier, India
Vayuvents manufactures industrial Portable Fans for temporary fresh air supply, exhaust, and spot cooling in factories, construction sites, and maintenance operations. 300 mm to 900 mm dia. IS 3588. Mumbai. Call +91 90961 88703.
An industrial Portable Fan from Vayuvents is a heavy-duty, direct-drive axial fan on a wheeled base or with carrying handles — built to industrial standards for demanding site and factory use. Unlike domestic or commercial portable fans, industrial portable fans are constructed for continuous duty in hot, dusty, wet, and mechanically harsh environments.
Vayuvents portable fans serve three distinct roles depending on placement and application: (1) fresh air supply — positioned at a building opening, directing outdoor air into the space; (2) exhaust ventilation — positioned at or connected to an exhaust point, pulling contaminated air out; (3) spot cooling — positioned near operators or equipment, directing cooling airflow to a specific person or heat-generating machine.
Available from 300 mm to 900 mm diameter, providing 3,500 to 28,000 m³/hr of airflow. IP55 TEFC motor for all-weather use. Short cable for workshop power connection. Wheeled trolley base for easy repositioning. Suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
Standard MS construction for general factory and site use. Aluminium construction for lightweight portable applications where frequent manual carrying is required. 230V single-phase for generator supply on remote sites.

Portable ventilation fans are used for temporary ventilation where fixed fans cannot be installed — confined space pre-entry air supply, construction site enclosed space ventilation, ship tank and hold pre-entry cooling, maintenance shutdown temporary air supply, and emergency deployment when fixed ventilation fails. They are the essential tool for safe confined space entry compliance under IS 5916 and OISD standards.
For safe confined space entry pre-ventilation, a minimum of 20 air changes per hour of the confined space volume is recommended, using fresh outdoor air (not recirculated). For a typical 50 m³ ship tank, this requires 1,000 m³/hr minimum — achieved by a 300 mm portable fan. For larger spaces (excavations, large vessels), 400 to 600 mm fans providing 6,000 to 13,000 m³/hr are recommended. Vayuvents provides sizing guidance for your specific confined space.
Yes. Portable fans with reversible motors supply fresh air when running forward and exhaust contaminated air when running in reverse. This flexibility allows one fan to serve both pre-entry supply ventilation and post-entry exhaust during work operations. Even without a reversible motor, the fan can be repositioned at the confined space opening to push air in or pull air out depending on whether supply or exhaust is needed.
Standard Vayuvents portable ventilation fans are supplied with 415V 3-phase supply for larger sizes (above 0.5 HP). For construction sites and confined space work where only single-phase supply is available, 230V single-phase versions are supplied for sizes up to 0.5 HP. Portable generator supply at 230V single-phase is the most common power source for confined space and construction site applications.
Standard portable fans with IP55 induction motors are NOT safe in explosive atmospheres (Zone 1 or Zone 2). For confined spaces that may contain flammable vapours (fuel tanks, solvent storage), only flameproof Ex-d certified portable fans should be used. Vayuvents can supply flameproof portable ventilation fans for hazardous atmosphere confined space entry — please specify when requesting a quotation.
A portable ventilation fan is an open propeller or tube axial fan designed for free-air supply or exhaust ventilation. A portable blower cum exhauster has a centrifugal or higher-pressure axial fan that can overcome the resistance of connected flexible ducting — allowing air to be directed to a specific point 10 to 30 metres away through a duct. The blower cum exhauster is preferred where the ventilation point is not directly accessible to the fan, requiring ductwork.
