Canarm Hexa-Lite HVLS 18 Foot Blade Industrial Fan New - 6L18-115-1
Operating on a 1.35 HP EC motor, minimal power consumption is combined with impressive air volumes to create the highly efficient Hexa-Lite HVLS Fan. The big ceiling fan can create an evaporative cooling effect of three to four degrees throughout the facility.
During the heating season, the Hexa-Lite 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
-
Wide‑area industrial airflow powerhouse
The Canarm Hexa‑Lite HVLS 18 Foot Blade Industrial Fan (6L18‑115‑1) is engineered for large commercial and industrial spaces, delivering huge, slow‑moving airflow that improves comfort and ventilation across up to ~25,400 sq ft of coverage.
-
Efficient, high‑performance design
Equipped with six extruded aluminum E420 airfoils and wingtip fences, this fan maximizes downward airflow for faster cooling effects and even circulation, reducing hot spots and stagnant air.
-
Quiet, durable construction
Built with a powder‑coated steel and anodized aluminum chassis plus a TEFC IP55 motor with precision gearbox, it runs quietly and reliably in demanding commercial environments.
-
Multi‑voltage flexibility
Available in 115 V single‑phase (and optional 230 V/460 V models), it adapts to various power configurations for easy installation in warehouses, factories, gyms, and showrooms.
-
Year‑round comfort benefits
In summer it enhances perceived cooling through air movement, while in winter it helps destratify warm air to improve HVAC efficiency and reduce heating costs.
-
Controller compatibility
Designed to work with dedicated HVLS fan controllers (sold separately), giving you precise speed and direction control to match space requirements.
Q&A
Q1: What is the Canarm Hexa‑Lite HVLS 18 Foot Fan (6L18‑115‑1)?
A: It’s a High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) industrial ceiling fan with an 18 ft blade diameter, engineered for large‑area airflow in warehouses, factories, gyms, and commercial facilities.
Q2: What motor and performance specs does it have?
A: Powered by a 1.0 HP industrial motor, the fan delivers broad, low‑speed airflow (~55 RPM max) across ~25,400 sq ft, helping improve comfort and air circulation in large spaces.
Q3: What are the key airflow and comfort benefits?
A: The large 18 ft blades constantly move high volumes of air, creating an evaporative cooling effect (3–4 °F) and destratifying heat in winter, which can enhance comfort and reduce HVAC energy use.
Q4: What construction features ensure durability?
A: Built with six extruded high‑performance aluminum airfoils, nylon‑reinforced wingtip fences, and a powder‑coated steel chassis to resist rust and corrosion in industrial environments.
Q5: Is the motor quiet and efficient?
A: Yes — the fan uses a totally enclosed, fan‑cooled (TEFC) IP55 motor with precision gearbox, providing quiet performance with minimal maintenance.
Q6: What are the electrical options?
A: Available in 115 V single phase, 230 V single phase, 230 V 3‑phase, or 460 V 3‑phase configurations to suit different facility power systems
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean blades & housing: Wipe dust and debris from the six large blades and motor housing regularly to preserve airflow efficiency and reduce imbalance.
-
Check mounting hardware: Periodically inspect and tighten all bolts, brackets, and fasteners on the ceiling or beam mount to prevent vibration and noise.
-
Inspect electrical connections: Ensure power and control wiring are secure, corrosion‑free, and properly insulated for safe, reliable operation.
-
Balance monitoring: Watch for unusual vibration or noise; if detected, check blade balance and alignment or schedule professional trim balancing.
-
Lubricate moving components (if applicable): Follow manufacturer guidance for any grease points—especially in bearing assemblies—to maintain smooth rotation.
-
Test control & speed settings: Verify that wall controls, remotes, or VFD settings respond and operate correctly during routine checks.
-
Protect from moisture & dust: Keep the motor and control box dry and clean; in dusty or humid environments, consider additional enclosures or shielding.
-
Scheduled professional inspection: Annual technical service can help assess motor health, bearing wear, and electrical integrity.
