HHC Series Belt-Drive Hooded Roof Fans
Hooded fans offer a variety of standard construction features for commercial and industrial applications where low noise and economy are required. Direct and V-belt drive units for exhaust, supply or reversible applications are available in 24” through 84” diameters with capacities up to 120,000 CFM.
- All-welded steel construction
All welded hood assembly and air shaft combined with a fully welded fan frame—fabricated from heavy-gauge steel—shrug off vibration and roof movement for trouble-free service. - Belt-drive flexibility
Slower blade speeds cut noise and wear, while interchangeable sheaves (or a VFD-ready motor) let you fine-tune CFM and static pressure without swapping the fan or motor. - High-efficiency air-foil propellers
Precision-balanced cast-aluminum blades deliver high volumes of air with minimal turbulence, preventing motor overload and keeping sound levels low. - Heavy-duty drivetrain & bearings
Self-aligning air handling quality pillow-block ball bearings, taper-lock cast-iron sheaves, and oversized V-belts are sized for continuous industrial duty and long service intervals. - Ships fully assembled & tested
Every fan leaves our factory fully assembled and rigorously tested, speeding up on-site setup so you can get up and running quickly. - Multiple motor options
Choose standard Totally Enclosed (TE) or Hazardous Location (HL) motors, or upgrade to chemical-duty, 50 Hz, arctic-duty, high-ambient, IEEE 841, or ECM packages to match any environment or energy goal. - Rugged weather protection
Heavy gauge steel with a polyester powder-coat finish keeps the fan performing in all climates. - Service-friendly design options
Optional disconnect switch, access doors, and extended lubrication lines make routine inspections quick and safe—no hood removal required. - Proven heritage
Backed by 70+ years of Triangle Engineering expertise, the HHC Series Belt-Drive Hooded Roof fans have thousands of installations that have outlasted roof systems and production lines alike.

Fine-tune your HHC belt-drive hooded roof exhaust fan for site-specific codes, climates, and maintenance protocols with these factory-engineered upgrades:
- Disconnect switches – A pre-wired, UL-listed NEMA 3R or 4X safety switch mounts on the curb base, giving you a lock-out/tag-out point within sight and sound of the motor for NEC-compliant service.
- Louvers / backdraft dampers – Gravity- or motor-operated assemblies that close when the fan is off, blocking rain, wind-driven snow, and negative-pressure backflow. Essential for conditioned or pressurized buildings.
- Adjustable drives – Alternate sheave sets (or open-face variable-pitch sheaves) let you dial in RPM to meet precise CFM/ SP targets or compensate for future process changes—without replacing the motor.
- Access doors – Gasketed panels built into the hood provide easy entry to belts, bearings, and propeller for inspection and cleaning, reducing downtime.
- Filters – Washable aluminum-mesh fitted in the hood for supply-air units—capture lint, leaves and dirt before it reaches the workspace.
- Bird screens – Welded, galvanized wire mesh installed at the hood outlet or intake keeps birds and large debris out of the airstream while preserving airflow.
- Extended lubrication lines – Remote grease lines routed from pillow-block bearings to an exterior port, allowing safe, roof-level relubrication without removing the hood.
- Special Coatings – Epoxy or marine-grade powder coats add extra corrosion resistance for coastal, chemical, or food-processing roofs; color-match options support corporate branding.

Complement or extend your ventilation system with these premium solutions:
- JD Series Direct Drive Roof Mount Exhaust Fan
- Ideal for general ventilation where the motor can be positioned in the air stream for effective cooling.
- JBI Series Belt Drive Roof Mount Exhaust Fan (motor inside airstream)
- Ideal for general ventilation where the motor can be positioned in the air stream for effective cooling
- JBX Series Belt Drive Roof Mount Exhaust Fan (motor out of airstream)
- Keeps the motor separate from harsh or contaminated airflows, extending motor life.
- FHI Series Panel Exhaust or Supply Fan
- Severe duty panel exhaust or supply fan, available in direct drive or belt drive configuration and designed for harsh environments
- Shutters/Dampers
- Offered in standard sizes or custom increments (as small as 1/8″) to fit your opening. They regulate airflow, limit backdraft, and maintain optimal building pressure when the fan is off.
