Which fan is commonly used in glass production factory?

底图

After visiting many factories, the factory management always meet similar environment challenge when summer comes, their employees complain about the hot working area, the current ventilation can’t settle the status, even the employees will fight to win a fan in order to get this fan to blow at his direction, the quality defect rate is higher in summer than other season… All these we called “common pain of factory environment”.

Glass manufacturing enterprises are confronted with multiple pain points, these issues not only affect production efficiency and product quality but may also endanger the health and safety of workers.

1.High temperature and thermal radiation
Pain points: Equipment such as furnaces and annealing furnaces generate extremely high temperatures (up to over 1500℃), making the workshop environment stuffy and hot, and workers prone to heatstroke or fatigue.
Impact: High temperatures reduce work efficiency, increase the heat dissipation burden on equipment, and may cause occupational health problems such as heat stroke.

2. Insufficient local ventilation efficiency
Problem point: Dust/gas-producing areas such as furnaces and cutting machines need local exhaust ventilation, but the existing system may have uneven air volume or incomplete coverage.
Some enterprises rely on natural ventilation and are unable to remove pollutants in a targeted manner.
Consequence: Harmful substances spread throughout the entire workshop, increasing the overall ventilation load.

3. High energy consumption
The contradiction point is that a large amount of ventilation is required for cooling or detoxification, but glass production needs to maintain a stable temperature (such as in the annealing process), and frequent ventilation leads to energy waste.
Cost pressure: The operating electricity costs of large fans and dust removal equipment are high, especially in winter when heat loss is severe.

4. Explosion-proof and safety risks
Special scenario: When using a natural gas furnace, poor ventilation may lead to the accumulation of flammable gas, causing an explosion.
Dust explosion: High-concentration glass dust poses an explosion risk in confined Spaces (such as polishing workshops).

5. Workers' Comfort and Health
Comprehensive impact: High temperature + dust + noise (ventilation equipment itself may also generate noise) leads to a poor working environment and a high employee turnover rate.

Most of the factory will use traditional industrial fan, there are below problems.

Electricity wire in mess, there is dangerous problem.
• Each year broken many, maintenance and re-purchase cost is high
• Each fan 400w~750w, many quantities, the total electricity consumption is high.
• Noise is big, air speed is fast, so blow on employees, It’s not comfortable and headache.

Solutions suitable for glass manufacturing enterprises:
• HVLS Fan is safe to install on the beam, it’s clean and safe.
• the lifetime is 15 years, reliability is high and maintenance free.
• coverage is big, qty will be less, only 1.0kw/h, energy saving ventilation equipment.
• the speed is 60rpm/min, wind speed 3-4m/s, so the wind is gentle and comfortable.
• Apogee HVLS Fan is IP65 design, prevent dust in environment, high reliability.
• Apogee HVLS Fan has clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation, can get rid of the heat air from the top.

why choose Apogee HVLS Fan?

Safety: the structure design is a patent, make sure 100% safe.
Reliability: the gearless motor and double bearing make sure 15 years lifetime.
Features: 7.3m HVLS fans max speed 60rpm, air volume 14989m³/min, input power only 1.2 kw (compared with others, bring bigger air volume, more energy saving 40%).Low noise 38dB.
Smarter: anti-collision software protection, smart central control is able to control 30 large fans, through timing and temperature sensor, the operation plan is pre-defined.
IP65 motor: Ensures the motor is dust-proof (completely dust-proof, IP6X) and water-proof (IPX5), suitable for the high-temperature and dusty environment in glass factories.
Reverse function: By reversing the blades, hot air is drawn upward. In combination with the natural ventilation or exhaust system of the factory building, it accelerates the discharge of hot air and dust.

Here take a successful example of Apogee HVLS Fans used in Xinyi Glass Group.
Xinyi Glass Group, a global leader in glass manufacturing, upgraded its 13 large production facilities with Apogee HVLS (High-volume, Low-Speed) fans to enhance workplace comfort, improve air quality, and boost operational efficiency. This strategic installation demonstrates how advanced industrial ventilation solutions can optimize large-scale manufacturing environments.

Apogee HVLS Fans at Xinyi Glass Facilities

Xinyi Glass installed multiple Apogee HVLS 24-foot diameter fans in its production halls, achieving:
• 
5-8°C temperature reduction near workstations.
• 
30% improvement in air circulation, reducing stagnant air zones.
• 
Higher employee satisfaction with better working conditions.

The installation of Apogee HVLS fans at Xinyi Glass Group highlights the importance of advanced industrial ventilation in enhancing productivity, worker comfort, and energy efficiency. For large-scale manufacturing plants, HVLS fans are no longer a luxury—they are a necessity for sustainable operations.
