Canarm Hexa-Lite EC HVLS 16 Foot Blade Industrial Fan New - 6L16EC-230-1

Canarm Hexa-Lite EC HVLS 16 Foot Blade Industrial Fan New - 6L16EC-230-1

Operating on a 1.35 HP EC motor, minimal power consumption is combined with impressive air volumes to create the highly efficient Hexa-Lite EC HVLS Fan.

During the heating season, the Hexa-Lite EC HVLS fan technology can destratify uneven temperatures that can be in excess of fifteen degrees from ceiling to floor. This results in significant energy savings since the heating system cycles less frequently.

What our Experts Think

• Powerful airflow for medium‑large spaces
  The Canarm Hexa‑Lite EC HVLS 16 Foot Blade Industrial Fan (6L16EC‑230‑1) delivers wide‑area air circulation (~20,096 sq ft), making it ideal for warehouses, workshops, gyms, and commercial facilities that need efficient air movement across broad floor areas.
• Energy‑efficient EC motor with onboard VFD
  Equipped with a 1.35 HP energy‑efficient EC motor and built‑in variable frequency drive, this fan produces strong airflow while minimizing power consumption, helping cut operational costs.
• Year‑round comfort optimization
  In warmer months it creates a gentle cooling breeze, and during colder seasons it destratifies heat, reducing temperature differences between high and low levels to improve HVAC efficiency.
• Quiet, low‑maintenance direct‑drive design
  The totally enclosed IP65 direct‑drive motor with onboard VFD ensures quiet operation with less maintenance compared to gear‑driven systems, ideal for busy commercial environments.
• Durable industrial construction
  With six extruded anodized aluminum airfoils, wingtip airflow fences, and a powder‑coated steel chassis, this fan resists rust and corrosion, giving it long‑term durability in demanding spaces.
• Controller compatibility
  Designed to pair with compatible controllers (sold separately), allowing precise speed and airflow control tailored to specific facility needs.

Q&A

Q: What type of fan is the Canarm 6L16EC‑230‑1?
A: A 16 ft diameter HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) industrial ceiling fan, engineered for large commercial, warehouse, and industrial air circulation.

Q: What motor does this fan use?
A: Features an EC (electronically commutated) direct‑drive motor for energy‑efficient, quiet performance and precise speed control.

Q: How much area does this fan cover?
A: Designed to move high volumes of air, influencing airflow across large indoor spaces to improve comfort and air mixing.

Q: How does it boost comfort and efficiency?
A: Promotes even air distribution, reduces hot/cold spots, enhances cooling effects, and can help lower HVAC load by minimizing temperature stratification.

Q: Is the fan quiet and low‑maintenance?
A: Yes — the direct‑drive EC motor operates quietly and requires minimal maintenance compared with belt‑driven systems.

Q: What safety and compliance standards does it meet?
A: Built to meet industrial safety standards for reliable, long‑lasting performance in professional environments.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean blades & housing regularly: Wipe dust and debris off the six anodized aluminum airfoils to maintain strong airflow and prevent imbalance.
• Inspect mounting hardware: Check bolts, hangers, and brackets periodically to ensure secure, vibration‑free installation.
• Check electrical connections: Verify power and control wiring (including EC motor/VFD leads) are tight and corrosion‑free to support reliable operation.
• Motor/VFD ventilation: Keep the EC motor and drive enclosure free of dust so heat dissipates properly and efficiency stays high.
• Test performance: Run the fan through speed settings occasionally to confirm smooth, balanced airflow and responsive control.
• Listen for vibration: Watch for unusual noise or wobble; rebalance or tighten components as needed to protect bearings and blades.
• Maintain clearance: Ensure the space below and around the fan is clear of obstructions for optimal circulation.
• Annual professional inspection: Have a qualified technician inspect structural mounts, electrical systems, and control interface for preventive care.
