Keep Your Facility Safe
Are Combustible Dust Challenges Putting Your Facility at Risk?
Manufacturing and processing facilities face major risks from combustible dust buildup, which can quickly create hazardous conditions if not properly controlled. Dust accumulation in overhead and hard-to-reach areas increases the likelihood of fires or explosions, posing a serious threat to safety.
Costly Shutdowns to Clean?
Traditional cleaning methods require regular shutdowns to manually remove dust from hard-to-reach areas. This labor-intensive, messy, and time-consuming process disrupts production schedules and can negatively impact your bottom line.
Ineffective Dust Control Measures?
Despite consistent cleaning and other collection methods, dust accumulates quickly in hard-to-reach places. This creates an endless cycle of cleaning and accumulation, making it nearly impossible to maintain a consistently safe environment.
- So, where does the overhead dust go when you have SonicAire dust control fans? It settles on the ground, making clean-up as easy as sweeping with a broom.
Meeting Compliance Standards?
Regulatory bodies like OSHA are tightening their guidance with the National Emphasis Program. The pressure to comply with dust control has never been more intense. Non-compliance doesn’t just result in fines, it risks your entire operation. Insurance companies frequently conduct inspections, adjust premiums, and may even suspend operations until identified issues are resolved. SonicAire is insurance-approved, and businesses that install it may qualify for discounted rates.
Prevent Combustible Dust Buildup with SonicAire Dust Control Fan Technology
When used alongside traditional dust collectors, SonicAire dust control fans enhance overall dust control by creating a horizontal air barrier to keep dust from your hard-to-clean overhead spaces and relocating it to the floor.
The SonicAire Advantage:
Proactively Preventing Buildup > Repetitive Cleaning
SonicAire’s fan-based solution is specifically designed to address the gaps left by traditional dust collection systems. It adapts seamlessly to changes in facility layouts and production processes without requiring extensive reconfiguration. By preventing dust from settling and spreading, the system minimizes the risk of re-entrainment, ensuring better ongoing dust control. Additionally, SonicAire fans reduce maintenance demands, delivering consistent performance with less frequent intervention, making them a reliable, low-maintenance solution for long-term dust management.

Tailored Combustible Dust Control Solutions for Every Facility
SonicAire Dust Control Fan Systems are designed with BarrierAire technology to address your unique dust control needs.
After reviewing your facility’s dust type, facility layout, and processes, our engineers create a customized fan layout to give you seamless dust control, guaranteed OSHA compliance, and protection against dust explosion.
The Shroud
Constructed from high-quality steel and assembled right here in North Carolina. The “bullet” helps optimize airflow while minimizing vibrations and noise, allowing the fan to operate at a volume of 79 dBA at 20 feet. It ensures the fan operates efficiently while maintaining a peaceful environment.
1 of 3Yoke
Constructed from high-quality steel and engineered to be more robust than our previous generations, with enhanced thickness for added durability. The yoke is available in both compact and full sizes, providing flexibility depending on your specific needs.
2 of 3Top Gear
The “top gear” allows the fan to rotate a full 360 degrees. With the ZCK (Zone Control Kit), you can limit the airflow, allowing you to shut off the fan in areas where you don’t want it to blow. This feature adds precision and control to where and how the air circulates, ensuring the fan meets your exact needs.

iDrive
The “iDrive” system enables precise control over oscillation, giving you even more control over the fan’s direction. By fine-tuning oscillation, you can ensure the fan directs air exactly where it’s needed, enhancing effectiveness for specific tasks or spaces.
1 of 3Blade
Drawing from over 20 years of engineering experience, the blade has been optimized for effective entrainment. This ensures that the fan delivers powerful and efficient performance in any setting.
2 of 3Motor
The SonicAire fan motor is UL certified and built to withstand challenging environments, including CIID2 and CIID1, as well as high humidity and high-temperature conditions. Our fan motors perform consistently even in demanding environments where other motors might fail.
3 of 3SonicAire Fan Models
Our fan systems are designed to meet the specific needs of your facility. From typical manufacturing environments to harsh, high-risk locations, our fan systems are built to keep your operations compliant and dust-free. Explore our fan models below to learn about our range of solutions for your dust control challenges.
PRO Series
The Pro Series is designed for typical manufacturing environments where overhead dust control is a priority. Available in 1 and 2-horsepower models, these fans proactively prevent dust buildup in hard-to-reach areas by causing dust to agglomerate and fall to the floor, where you can easily clean it up. The Pro Series delivers reliable performance to meet compliance with dust control standards.
EXTREME Series
When your facility has hazardous areas, the Extreme Series is the solution. Designed to withstand high temperatures and damp environments, these fans are engineered for maximum durability. This series also includes the only dust control fan certified for Class II, Division 1, and Class II, Division 2 environments, making them ideal for areas that can’t be covered with other fan solutions.
SPECIALTY Series
COMMAND Series
The Command Series is a control panel that allows you to create an efficient operation in every setting. These panels have variable speed options, programmable scheduling, and fire system integration. Our control panels optimize your dust control system to run at its most efficient and in sync with your facility’s operations.
Master Combustible Dust Compliance in Your Facility
The NFPA 660 standard sets industry expectations for managing combustible dust hazards in all industries, with the intent of ensuring the safety of your employees and facility. With a SonicAire fan system in place, you can operate confidently, knowing you’re meeting stringent requirements to prevent catastrophic dust explosions and fires.
Additionally, SonicAire fans are the only UL-certified dust control solution for CIID1 (Class II, Division 1) environments. Facilities operating with these high-risk areas- where ignitable amounts combustible dust are present during normal operating conditions- require equipment that meets rigorous safety standards.
When it comes to safeguarding your facility and maintaining regulatory standards, SonicAire is your trusted partner that delivers guaranteed results.
