This article introduces “ZOO FANS,” DuctSox’s industrial fan brand, along with representative product examples, use cases, and implementation case studies.
Use this article as a reference when considering installation in industrial and commercial environments to see which conditions and settings industrial fans work best in.
It works best in open ceilings with exposed beams and piping, or in suspended installations, where it gently mixes air that tends to stagnate near the ceiling down toward floor level, especially when you want to reduce temperature differences and stagnant air. A key benefit is that it can be installed in areas where large HVLS fans cannot fit.
| Dimensions (H×W×D, in) | 25-3/4×21×18-3/16 |
|---|---|
| Coverage area (sq ft) | 1,200–2,500 |
| Weight (lb) | 23 |
It works best for sites where you want to create airflow that reaches areas where employees are present or where heat tends to accumulate, helping improve perceived comfort.
For example, it fits high-ceiling factories and warehouses where air conditioning is available but heat varies by area, and where hot air tends to linger only in picking aisles or loading areas.
| Dimensions (H×W×D, in) | 26-7/8×26×30-1/2 |

Even with radiant heating in place at a maintenance facility, employees still felt cold. There was a proposal to add more heating, but instead, ZOO FANS were installed.
After installation, the thermostat on the existing heating system could be lowered, and perceived comfort improved, while also creating room to optimize operations.
DuctSox’s ZOO FANS offer targeted destratification designed for spaces where large HVLS fans cannot fit. They provide a practical solution to eliminate temperature variations in narrow picking aisles and improve existing HVAC efficiency year-round.
