Uses for All-Terrain VENTRY® Fans
Page 1 of 2 | Next >

Here are a few of the ways we have heard of our portable, gasoline-powered all-terrain ventilation fans being used safely and with great results:

• Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and Positive pressure attack (PPA) in firefighting. Number one application of our Blowers. See our Testimonials page for some nice feedback from fire fighters)
• Drying and ventilation after floods.
• Cooling (see misting ring page), drying, slash burning, controlled brush burning, concrete finishing, and drying/air circulation at construction sites and in areas stricken by natural disasters.
• Hot air balloon inflation. See the hot air balloon Inflation Fan page and Gallery.
• Leak Testing (pressurize a structure to test for leaks around windows and doors. Recently reported to us by Morrison Fire Protection in Canada as having worked quite well!)
• Low pressure water misting (For fire fighter rehab, sports events, cooling summer workers, misting/fogging, etc. See the Misting Ring Kit page.)
• Removing industrial refrigerant leaks at wineries!
• Prisons and nursing facilities: Ventilating without having to remove or displace occupants
• Stirring air over golf courses on hot, moist days to prevent grass burning.
• Movie special effects requiring large amounts of fresh air.
• One fan was used to remove pepper spray from a sorority house!
• Wildland fire suppression where no water was available.
• Positive pressure protection (PPP) by Fire Fighters (also known as a positive pressure sandwich.) Multiple VENTRY all-terrain PPV fans can be used to greatly delay the spread of fire through pressurization of adjacent areas in multiple-room structures.
• Negative Pressure Ventilation We recommend using VENTRY Fans for neative pressure during clean-up and overhaul. Turning the fan around and aiming outward, pulling air from inside the structure to the outdoors, is a safe and effective way to remove carbon monoxide and other remnant gases during overhaul. (For during attack, PPV should be used.) Click for more info...
• Drying raspberries. (The farmer reported a bumper crop relative to others who had dismal crops due to rain.)
• VENTRY Fans are used to cool the brakes on F-16s. (The fans aim upward, downward, sideways...any direction necessary and on any surface, thanks to the patented tripod frame.)
• More uses continued...

We would love to hear how you (safely) use your VENTRY Fan(s)! Please call us or e-mail.

We recently put thrust to work for us, using a VENTRY Fan to move two boat docks across a lake! (Click here for bigger picture).

Commercial and industrial duty VENTRY Fans set way back from the entry point, are relatively light weight, operate on any surface, and require only one person for transport, setup, and operate. These qualities make them ideal for ventilation, cleaning, misting and more.
