Success Story: Vallen Integrated Supply

 

Vallen Integrated Supply, a leader in flexible supply chain solutions across North America and Europe, has a long history of supporting world-class operations in maintenance, safety, and production supply. When one of the nation’s largest HVAC manufacturing facilities needed a better way to manage airflow and comfort across a 4.2 million-square-foot space, Vallen partnered with Hunter Industrial to find a solution.

The goal was clear: deliver consistent, energy-efficient airflow throughout a massive industrial environment—improving comfort, reducing energy costs, and maintaining long-term reliability.

The Challenge: Providing Airflow Across 4.2 Million Square Feet of Manufacturing Space

Even with deep in-house HVAC expertise, the customer faced a complex challenge—how to maintain even, efficient air circulation across vast open production areas. Traditional HVAC systems and standard air circulators were not enough to keep such a massive facility comfortable and efficient, especially in their large, open production areas. 

Their facility managers needed a solution that delivered reliable, high-velocity airflow throughout their expansive environment—while also supporting long-term durability and energy savings.

The Solution: Jan Fan High-Velocity Industrial Air Circulators

To overcome these challenges, the facility partnered with Vallen Integrated Supply and Jan Fan®, now part of the Hunter Industrial product portfolio, known for more than 60 years of delivering directional airflow solutions for automotive and assembly environments.

They selected the 24” Head Assembly with Wall and Ceiling Mount models, to meet their needs for powerful, high-velocity airflow across production areas. Each unit delivers fan speeds of up to 1100/900 RPM, creating a cooling effect of over 10°F from distances greater than 35 feet—ideal for improving comfort and efficiency in large industrial settings.

The Results: Energy Efficiency, Comfort, and Reliable Industrial Performance

After installation, the customer reported improved employee comfort, reduced HVAC dependence, and more balanced airflow management across the facility.
In side-by-side performance testing, the Jan Fan 24” models demonstrated exceptional durability, consistent performance, and energy-saving capabilities.

Key Results:

• Energy Efficiency: Maintains strong airflow while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
• Proven Performance: High-velocity airflow and superior RPM ratings ensure optimal circulation across large spaces.
• Industrial-Grade Safety: Highly visible safety yellow finish and hinge guard cage enhance workspace visibility and protection
• 5-Year Warranty*: Long-term peace of mind with one of the industry’s best warranties.
• Built for Demanding Environments: Engineered to withstand continuous use in manufacturing, distribution, and industrial settings.

“At this location, our customer has reported high satisfaction not only with the performance of Jan Fans, but also with the fast response time and on-site support delivered by the Jan Fan and Vallen teams. This combination of technical excellence and dedicated service reinforces confidence in both the product and partnership.”

Delivering Smarter Airflow Solutions for Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities

By combining Hunter Industrial’s high-performance airflow solutions with Vallen’s integrated supply expertise, this partnership demonstrates how the right industrial fans can transform comfort and efficiency in large-scale manufacturing environments.

For teams seeking high-velocity air circulators that help improve worker comfort, reduce HVAC strain, and lower energy costs, Jan Fan offers a proven, long-lasting solution.

Hunter Industrial continues to advance energy-efficient airflow control with innovations like the Jan Fan Energy Saving Module (ESM)—an optional feature that automates fan operation by shutting off after preset intervals (4, 5, 6, or 10 hours). This helps prevent unnecessary runtime and further reduces energy expenses.
