Roof Ventilator — Manufacturer & Supplier, India
Vayuvents manufactures Roof Ventilators — motorised electric and wind-driven turbo variants — for factory, warehouse, and industrial building heat and fume exhaust. 300 mm to 1,800 mm. IS 3588. Mumbai. Call +91 90961 88703.
A Roof Ventilator is a ventilation unit installed at rooftop level to exhaust hot, stale, and contaminated air from a building interior. Vayuvents manufactures two types: motorised electric roof ventilators (driven by an electric motor for reliable, controllable exhaust) and wind-driven turbo ventilators (driven by wind energy for zero-power natural ventilation in locations with consistent wind).
Motorised roof ventilators are recommended for factories, warehouses, foundries, and process buildings requiring reliable, continuous exhaust ventilation with defined air change rates regardless of outdoor weather conditions. Wind-driven turbo ventilators supplement natural ventilation in open agricultural buildings, storage sheds, and low-heat-load buildings where some periods of reduced ventilation are acceptable.
Vayuvents manufactures roof ventilators from 300 mm to 1,800 mm throat diameter in GI, MS, FRP, SS304, and aluminium cowl construction — covering standard industrial, coastal, food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical plant rooftop applications.
All motorised roof ventilators are IS 3588 compliant with performance test certificates. Export supply available with full documentation.
Key Features & Benefits
Rooftop Heat Extraction
Extracts hot accumulated air from the roof level directly — removing the heat stratification layer that makes factory floors uncomfortable and reduces worker productivity.
Weatherproof Cowl
Integrated aerodynamic weather cowl with rain deflector prevents rain, bird entry, and wind-driven debris from entering the building through the roof opening.
Motorised Operation
Electric motor-driven impeller provides consistent, controlled exhaust airflow regardless of wind speed or direction — unlike wind-driven turbo ventilators that stop in calm weather.
IP55 Motor
IP55 TEFC motor withstands the rooftop environment — direct sunlight, rain, dust, and temperature extremes without motor winding failure.
Wide Size Range
300 mm to 1,800 mm throat diameter covers 2,500 m³/hr to 75,000 m³/hr per unit — single or multiple units to match any building exhaust requirement.
Material Options
GI, MS, SS304, aluminium, and FRP cowl and casing options for corrosive chemical plant, coastal, food processing, and pharmaceutical rooftop environments.
Low Noise
Carefully selected impeller speed and aerodynamic blade profiles minimise noise — suitable for factories in residential proximity and noise-sensitive manufacturing environments.
IS 3588 Compliant
Airflow and pressure performance tested per IS 3588-1987 with test certificate confirming stated exhaust performance.

View Details →FAQs — Roof Ventilator
A motorised roof ventilator is powered by an electric motor — it exhausts a fixed, controlled volume of air regardless of outdoor wind speed or direction. A wind-driven turbo ventilator (turbine ventilator) relies entirely on wind energy and provides no airflow in calm weather. For reliable, consistent exhaust ventilation in factories and industrial buildings, motorised roof ventilators are always recommended over wind-driven units.
For a 10,000 sq m factory with 8 metre ceiling height requiring 6 air changes per hour, the total exhaust airflow needed is approximately 480,000 m³/hr. This requires 8 to 12 units of RV-100-96-1800 (75,000 m³/hr each) or 12 to 16 units of RV-750-14-1500 (55,000 m³/hr each), arranged uniformly across the roof to avoid stagnant pockets. Vayuvents provides free layout and sizing calculations based on your building dimensions and required air change rate.
For standard factory and warehouse use, GI (galvanised iron) sheet cowl is supplied. For chemical plant rooftops with corrosive acid fumes, coastal environments, and food processing plants, FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) or SS304 cowl and casing are available. The blade material is also matched — aluminium for standard duty, FRP for corrosive service. Please specify the corrosive agent when requesting a quotation.
Standard motorised roof ventilators are rated for normal temperature exhaust service only and should not be used as fire smoke exhaust fans unless specifically designed and certified for that purpose. Fire smoke exhaust fans require high-temperature motor ratings (typically 300°C for 2 hours), smoke-rated bearings, and fire damper integration per NBC 2016 requirements. Vayuvents can supply dedicated smoke exhaust fan variants — please specify if fire smoke extraction is required.
Roof ventilators should be spaced at maximum 10 to 15 times the ceiling height — for an 8 metre ceiling, maximum 80 to 120 metre spacing. They should be distributed uniformly across the roof to avoid stagnant areas and positioned at the ridge or highest roof point where hot air naturally accumulates. Corresponding fresh air supply openings (louvres or supply fans) should be provided at low level on the opposite side of the building.
Yes. For foundry and forge buildings with high heat loads, Vayuvents supplies heavy-duty roof ventilators with Class H motor insulation (180°C winding rating) for the high ambient temperature at roof level in these buildings. The cowl is in MS with heat-resistant paint for the elevated roof ambient. Anti-corrosion and spark-resistant blade options are available for foundry environments.
