The Patterson BC18A High Velocity Fan is a rugged, industrial-grade air mover designed to move large volumes of air in factory, warehouse, and logistics environments. Built around a durable Venturi-designed barrel and side air inlets, this 18-inch unit projects air across considerable distances to improve circulation in aisles, workstations, and staging areas, supporting better ventilation, cooling, and condensation control where workers operate and materials move.
Construction details emphasize durability and low-maintenance operation. The fan features a high-impact polypropylene housing reinforced with heavy-gauge steel, a 17-inch 3-blade galvalum propeller, and OSHA-compliant steel finger guards for safety. The direct-drive motor is maintenance-free with sealed bearings and is offered in multiple voltages, including 115V and up to 460V, with optional variable-speed configurations for precise airflow control. The unit ships with a 12-foot power cord on 115V models and comes with multiple mounting options and optional oscillator kits to tailor airflow to your space.
In practical use, the BC18A is well-suited for moving air through long work aisles, ventilating pick modules, cooling around workstations, and supporting general workspace air exchange. With a stated airflow of up to 3,800 CFM, a 80-foot air throw, and sound levels in the 65–76 dB range depending on configuration and distance, operators can plan placement to maximize effectiveness while staying within acceptable noise levels. The fan is backed by a 2-year warranty, and its modular design offers flexibility for future mounting changes or facility reconfigurations.
