Riding the wind and waves and overcoming obstacles all the way to stabilize the market, Big Ass Fans, which has gone through more than 20 years, continues to adapt to the changes in market demand and expand the application field of products. In 2001, the use of its products was expanded to barns, factories, warehouses and other places, and it is more commonly known as "big butt fans".
The Biaifeng industrial large fan has passed the certification of the European Union CE, the United States UL507 and the Canadian CSA, and has excellent performance in three aspects: geared motor, fan blade and control system. Traditional geared motors require about 1-3 years to regularly change the lubricating oil for maintenance, but Biaifeng uses the "NITROSEAL drive system" on the traditional geared motors, and the gearbox is filled with synthetic engine oil that can be used for a long time, and the structure is sealed and the box is filled with nitrogen to avoid oil outflow and achieve maintenance-free. The fan blades use the self-developed patented wing system - AirFence® system, which can control the wind speed curve of the fan, and the coverage area is increased by 28%. In terms of the control system, intelligent sensors can be installed to automatically detect whether there is human activity in the space to adjust the state of operation, and it can also be linked with a ceiling-type fan to prevent fires.
Biaifeng's fans are available in a wide range of sizes, mainly ceiling fan types, and have a wide range of product lines, involving industrial, commercial, and residential uses. It should be made clear here that the blade diameter of an industrial fan needs to be more than 2.1 meters, and a residential fan is not an industrial fan, and a commercial fan is less noisy than an industrial fan.
In 2004, the company iterated and upgraded its products, launched the Powerfoil industrial fan, and added winglet fan blades to improve fan efficiency, and in this year, the company created a new division, Big Ass Light, and began to manufacture lighting products in preparation for the subsequent product development.
In 2012, the Haiku smart fan launched by Biaifeng for the residential field has attracted countless fans. Haiku can be fitted with LED lights, combined with the self-developed sensor system SenseME technology, to achieve intelligent sensing, automatically adjust the light status, and automatically turn on if there is someone in the room. It can also be connected to other smart thermostat systems to automatically adjust the temperature mode and wind speed based on the user's usual temperature preference. The product received a number of awards at the time, including being named "Most Innovative New Product of 2014" by the U.S. Green Building Council, "Best in Class" by Inc. Business Magazine, and awarded by World Construction News with the Product Innovation Award. The clever combination of fans and luminaires also benefits from a pre-positioned luminaire product strategy.
Biaifeng has always kept up with the times and consumer needs, which was once again confirmed by the outbreak of the new coronavirus in 2020. BiAirwind offers different disinfection and sterilization methods for industrial and residential fans. For industrial use, the POWERFOIL® X3.0 and POWERFOIL D series of ceiling fan types and the AIREYE series of wall fans are disinfected using "ion technology", and the ion generation by using an ozone-free ionizer can reduce pathogens in the air and on the surface of objects. Haiku's residential products, on the other hand, use UV-C sterilization technology to disinfect the air.
Among the industrial fans, Biaifeng's ceiling fan fans can be equipped with lights, surveillance cameras, speakers and other accessories, most of which use decelerated traditional motors, and wall-mounted types use permanent magnet synchronous motors.
The ceiling fan POWERFOIL® X3.0 is one of the most windy and durable in the series, while the Powerfoil D is suitable for harsh industrial locations, such as high temperatures and dusty environments, can withstand temperatures up to 55°C, and comes standard with an IP rating of up to 66, which is the best in the industry. The permanent magnet synchronous motor has a built-in accelerometer, which automatically stops when the fan blade is hit by an external force. The wall-mounted Pivot 2.0 series uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor that can be fixed to columns and ceilings, or to ceilings with beams and I-beams.
For commercial use, the ceiling fan type is used with permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the Essence series has an outstanding performance with a noise level of only 35 decibels, and has won several awards: it has been awarded the "Innovation in the Furniture Category" by Building Products magazine. In 2014, the U.S. Green Building Council named Essence "Best Product for Energy Efficiency" in the Best Building Awards. The Essence series is priced at $4,095 on the official website of the United States, equivalent to about 28,000 yuan, which is relatively expensive and has been launched in the Chinese mainland market.
The installation height of the large ceiling fan is at least 4.5 meters, and the roof structure suitable for installation includes I-beams, solid beams, and purlins. In terms of warranty, there are some differences between product series, such as the POWERFOIL® X3.0 series, which is 15 years mechanical and 7 years electrical, which is the longest warranty time. Powerfoil D comes with a 10-year mechanical and 5-year electrical warranty.
The sales channel in China is Foshan Chuangneng Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., and the products exported to China cover all uses, but the quantity is limited and some are old series. For example, the POWERFOIL series for industrial use X3.0 series is not sold in China, and currently only the X2.0 series, and the mobile AirGo 2.0 upgrade series for commercial use has not been launched in the Chinese market.
If you want to buy a series of products that have not been exported to China, there are two other channels, namely the online mall that comes with the official website of the United States and the Amazon platform in the United States, but they all need to be transferred, and the later installation and after-sales situation is difficult to deal with, which is more troublesome. And the official website of the United States shows that the warranty coverage of the product is only in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, which are 5 countries, excluding China.
