Round out your PFG belt-drive install with purpose-built add-ons that improve control, protect against weather, and keep airflow consistent. Choose from shutters, rain hoods, and thermostats sized to match your fan.
Shutters and Dampers – Cut back-drafts and weather intrusion when fans are off. Rigid, ag-grade blades sized to each PFG diameter for clean, bolt-on installs.
Rain hoods – Shield the opening from rain and wind without choking airflow. Flanged, all-weather hoods sized by fan diameter for quick mounting.
Thermostats – Automatic, temperature-based staging for steady conditions and energy savings. Simple wiring for standard 230V single-phase (ask about 115V/3-phase).
PFG belt-drive agricultural exhaust fans are used across livestock and horticulture to remove heat, humidity, and contaminants, protecting animals, crops, and equipment while stabilizing indoor conditions.
