Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fans

Energy-Efficient Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fan for Poultry and Livestock Barns

The Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fan are high-performance agricultural ventilation fans designed to deliver powerful exhaust airflow, precise speed control and reduced maintenance in commercial poultry and livestock buildings.

Available in 54-inch, 60-inch and 72-inch models, these large-diameter wall fans use electronically commutated motor technology to support efficient ventilation in demanding agricultural environments.

The direct-drive design eliminates the belts used in conventional belt-driven fans, reducing the number of drive components requiring routine maintenance. An aerodynamic fiberglass housing helps guide airflow, while compatible electronic controls allow producers to adjust fan speed according to changing barn ventilation requirements.

Whether you’re planning a new poultry barn, upgrading an existing hog facility or improving your agricultural ventilation system, Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fans offer a practical combination of airflow performance, energy efficiency and dependable operation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Energy-Efficient EC Motor Technology: Electronically commutated motors are designed to provide efficient airflow performance across varying ventilation demands.
• Direct-Drive Operation: Eliminates drive belts and belt-related maintenance, reducing mechanical complexity compared with conventional belt-driven fans.
• 54″, 60″ and 72″ Fan Options: Provides multiple sizes to accommodate different barn layouts, airflow requirements and ventilation designs.
• Variable-Speed Control: Uses a 0–10V control signal to adjust fan speed through a compatible ventilation controller.
• No Separate VFD Required: The EC motor’s integrated speed-control capability eliminates the need for an external variable-frequency drive for standard speed control.
• Aerodynamic Fiberglass Housing: Features a funnel-shaped housing designed to encourage efficient airflow through the fan.
• High-Capacity Exhaust Ventilation: Moves substantial volumes of air to support ventilation in larger poultry and livestock facilities.
• Reduced Routine Maintenance: Removes belt tensioning, alignment and replacement from regular fan maintenance requirements.
• Optional Exhaust Cones: Compatible discharge cones can improve airflow performance, depending on the selected fan model and installation.
• Optional Shutters: Available shutter configurations provide flexibility when planning exhaust openings and ventilation systems.
• White and Black Finishes: Select 54-inch and 60-inch models are available in white or black to accommodate installation preferences.
• Single-Phase and Three-Phase Options: Electrical configurations are available for different facility requirements, depending on fan size and model.
• Tested Airflow Performance: Published performance data is available for specified fan configurations and operating pressures.

How Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fans Work

The Exacon EC Direct Drive Wall Fan is installed in an appropriately sized wall opening as part of a mechanical agricultural ventilation system.

Step 1 — Fresh Air Enters the Barn

Fresh air enters through designated air inlets, which help distribute incoming air throughout the building.

Step 2 — The EC Motor Drives the Fan

The electronically commutated motor drives the fan blades directly, eliminating the need for a belt-and-pulley transmission.

Step 3 — Air Is Exhausted Outdoors

The fan draws indoor air toward the wall opening and discharges it outside through the aerodynamic housing.

Step 4 — Fan Speed Adjusts to Demand

A compatible controller sends a 0–10V signal to regulate fan speed according to the ventilation requirements.

Step 5 — Ventilation Supports Barn Climate Management

Working alongside properly sized air inlets and climate controls, the fan helps remove excess heat, moisture and airborne contaminants.
