MacroAir HVLS Fans

Collectors & Filters sells and support MacroAir to bring their HVLS fan systems to facilities throughout Indiana and the Midwest. We help you select the right fan for your space, provide layout assistance, and connect you with the support you need.

MacroAir invented HVLS technology in 1998 and has refined it ever since. Unlike standard high-speed fans that create chaotic turbulence, their patented 6ixBlade technology and direct-drive PMAC motors deliver 99.9% efficiency with only two moving parts. You get whisper-quiet operation at 53 dB and annual documented energy savings which vary by facility size and usage.

The MacroAir Advantage

Two moving parts. That’s it. MacroAir’s direct-drive architecture eliminates the gearbox entirely: no oil changes, no bearing replacements, no scheduled downtime. The result is a 50,000-hour warranty (that’s 28 years of continuous operation) and daily operating costs under 40 cents. Traditional gear-driven fans cost $1.25 to $1.69 per day. Do the math.

Key Specifications & Benefits

  • Coverage Area up to 20,000 sq ft: A single fan creates a massive vertical air column that pushes stratified ceiling air downward and outward. One fan replaces dozens of high-speed units.
  • 53-61 dB Sound Level: Library-quiet operation at maximum speed. Traditional gear-driven fans run at 70+ dB. Your team can hold conversations without shouting.
  • AirBrain Processor with Adaptive Voltage Control: Compensates for fluctuations across 100-480V input without a separate VFD. That’s $2,000 to $5,000 in control components you don’t need to buy.
  • Anodized Aluminum NASA Airfoil Blades: Extruded and clearcoat-finished for corrosion resistance. Built for warehouses, agricultural facilities, and outdoor washdown environments.

Why Choose MacroAir?

Reliability matters. Whether you are running a pharmaceutical warehouse or a dairy barn, you need equipment that meets AMCA certified ratings, ASHRAE thermal comfort standards, and NFPA 70 electrical code compliance. MacroAir integrates seamlessly with BacNet and LonWorks building automation systems and protects your bottom line with a 2 to 3 year payback period.

How Can We Help

We don’t just ship parts; we provide solutions. Collectors & Filters handles the technical calculations and system design to ensure your project lands on time and under budget.

MacroAir HVLS fans are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Colton, California. Their direct-drive PMAC motor contains only 2 moving parts, no gearbox, no oil changes, no bearing replacements. The built-in AirBrain processor with Adaptive Voltage Control (100–480V auto) eliminates the need for a separate VFD additional cost on competing systems. The patented 6ixBlade NASA-optimized extruded anodized aluminum airfoil covers up to 22,000 square feet per fan at 24-foot diameter, significantly more than the 10,000–14,000 square feet typical of competing fans at the same diameter. Sound level is library-quiet at 50–53 dBA versus 70+ dBA for gear-driven fans. Rated service life is 50,000 hours. How can we help? Collectors & Filters, Whitestown, Indiana — 317-910-1497.

Category MacroAir Advantage What Most HVLS Fans Do Why It Matters
Engineering & Drive System
Drive System ✓ Direct-drive PMAC motor only 2 moving parts Gearbox-driven requires oil changes & bearing replacements No gearbox = zero scheduled maintenance and the #1 failure point eliminated
Motor Efficiency ✓ 99.9% efficient permanent magnet motor Standard induction motors Runs for under the cost of gear driven fans
Controls ✓ Built-in AirBrain processor with Adaptive Voltage Control (100–480V auto) Separate VFD required) No extra VFD to buy, install, or maintain, handles voltage swings automatically
Blade Design ✓ 6ixBlade™ patented NASA-optimized airfoil — extruded anodized aluminum + clearcoat Standard aluminum or composite blades Superior air column + full corrosion resistance
Performance & Coverage
Coverage Area ✓ Up to 22,000 sq ft per fan (24 ft diameter) 10,000–14,000 sq ft at same diameter Fewer fans needed → lower installed cost and simpler electrical layout
Size Range ✓ 8 ft to 24 ft diameters (AVDX series) Most lines start at 10–14 ft minimum One family covers small shops to massive warehouses
Perceived Cooling ✓ Up to 15 °F temperature reduction Typical 8–10 °F Higher thermostat setpoints = real HVAC energy savings
Sound Level ✓ Library-quiet 50–53 dBA at full speed Gear-driven models 70+ dBA Employees can talk normally OSHA noise limits not an issue
Integration & Compliance
Building Automation ✓ Native BACnet & LonWorks compatible Proprietary controls only Plugs straight into existing BMS — no extra gateways
HVAC Savings ✓ Documented up to 30% reduction in HVAC energy use + ASHRAE 55 compliant Standard fans reduce load but rarely documented Fast 2–3 year payback + easy ROI justification for engineers
Certifications ✓ AMCA certified airflow + NFPA 70 / UL compliant Not all publish third-party certified data Numbers you can trust for specs, insurance, and engineering stamps
