The sleek, compact Pivot™ fan by Big Ass Fans® was awarded silver status in the HVAC category as part of Plant Engineering’s annual Product of the Year Award. Plant Engineering readers put emphasis on innovation, energy efficiency and productivity in selecting the 2008 Product of the Year award winners, presented Monday, March 30 at the Riviera Theater at Charleston Place as part of the 2009 Plant Engineering Manufacturing Summit In Charleston, SC.
Said Plant Engineering editor Bob Vavra, “The events of 2008 made plant managers conscious of every dollar they spend. The 2008 Product of the Year winners provide great solutions for the plant floor in every area from automation to maintenance to electrical systems.”
The new Pivot is a 6-ft. diameter, completely adjustable Big Ass Fan, incorporating two independent pivot points that allow adjustment for directional airflow in 73 unique positions. Pivot also includes a lightweight, low profile cage to protect both fan and occupants.
The size and versatility of Pivot allows users to direct air around obstructions or down long tight aisles. An exclusive new airfoil profile and winglet combination are optimized for a smaller diameter fan and allow Pivot to gently and efficiently distribute maximum airflow in smaller spaces.Pivot is perfect for a wide range of applications including manufacturing, bottling and distribution facilities, barns and riding arenas, aviation hangars, fitness clubs, schools, water parks, firehouses, zoos and more.
