The Patterson Fan PB26A is a high-velocity, pedestal-mounted workstation fan designed to move substantial volumes of air in manufacturing and warehouse settings. This 26-inch, three-blade system leverages a Venturi-designed barrel and side air inlets to project and entrain air over long distances, supporting improved air circulation across aisles, workstations, pick modules, and shipping or staging areas. The unit features a durable combination of high-impact polypropylene housing and heavy-gauge steel construction, with OSHA-compliant steel finger guards for added protection. A maintenance-free, direct-drive motor with sealed bearings delivers reliable performance with minimal upkeep, and the fan is available in multiple voltages to suit different power configurations. The PB26A includes a 12-foot power cord for 115V operation and a 2-year warranty, reflecting Patterson’s emphasis on long-term service in demanding environments.
Key construction details, such as the polypropylene housing and robust drive system, contribute to the unit’s durability in factory settings where vibration, dust, and continuous operation are common. The patented Venturi barrels and side air inlets are core design features that help achieve efficient air movement and broader coverage, which is quantified by performance specs like a 150-foot air throw and a 6,100-square-foot coverage footprint, depending on installation and ambient conditions. For facilities evaluating energy use and cooling strategy, the PB26A’s sizable airflow can complement other climate-control efforts while staying contained within a compact footprint for a pedestal-based setup.
Practical considerations include the option for variable-speed motors (for certain configurations) and multiple mounting options to tailor placement to specific workflows. The unit is designed to operate with voltages from 115V up to 460V, providing flexibility for different electrical environments. When ordering, verify the exact voltage, motor availability, and any additional accessory options (such as oscillator kits) to ensure the fan meets your site requirements.
