Hot barns, rising energy bills, and stressed animals are costing farms productivity. Heat, ammonia, and poor air flow weaken poultry and livestock performance. A modern solution exists — a permanent magnet fan engineered for agriculture that keeps barns cool while slashing electricity waste.
A permanent magnet fan uses a permanent magnet motor instead of a traditional induction motor to deliver stronger airflow with lower power consumption. Because magnets rotate the rotor without electric excitation, the fan runs cooler, quieter and more efficiently — making it ideal for poultry houses, livestock barns and any facility that requires stable ventilation with reduced operating cost.
A permanent magnet fan is powered by a permanent magnet motor, replacing the copper-wound rotor used in traditional AC motors. The magnet delivers torque while consuming less electrical energy — a game-changer for farms that operate ventilation 24 hours a day.
On poultry farms, layer houses, broiler barns, and breeder facilities, fans are not optional. Modern buildings are sealed and rely on mechanical ventilation to remove heat, moisture, and ammonia gases. With dozens or even hundreds of fans installed, switching to a permanent magnet fancan dramatically reduce energy costs.
For the livestock breeding industry, where cost, reliability and bird welfare define profit, permanent magnet ventilation systems offer measurable performance advantages: lower motor heating, improved airflow, and longer fan motor service life.
Inside every permanent magnet fan is a motor built with strong magnetic materials, often neodymium permanent magnet mounted on the rotor. Instead of generating magnetic flux using electricity, the magnet drives rotation instantly.
The result is:
Less energy consumption
Higher starting torque
Cooler motor temperature rise
Lower noise output
Unlike a standard induction motor that wastes energy as heat, a permanent magnet motor turns more of the electrical power directly into airflow. This improves the fan’s efficiency, especially under continuous operation.
A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) delivers steady rpm, precise speed control and minimal slip, which helps maintain constant airflow in poultry ventilation systems even under fluctuating negative pressure.
Poultry houses must manage heat, CO₂, ammonia and humidity every hour of the day. The fan motorchoice directly impacts flock health and electricity cost.
✔ Up to 30–40% lower energy use vs induction fans
✔ High torque for strong air circulation under negative pressure
✔ Lower heat load inside the motor, extending service life
✔ Reduced maintenance and fewer parts to replace
✔ Works perfectly with poultry automation systems
✔ Quieter airflow keeps birds calm and reduces stress
Parce que broilers, layers and breeders depend on proper airflow for feed conversion, switching to an energy-saving permanent magnet fan gives farms a direct return on investment.

A full engineering view of the fan’s drive system shows why livestock breeders trust PM technology.
| Fonctionnalité | Benefit to Farm Operations |
|---|---|
| High torque | Moves more air at lower motor power |
| Low heat loss | Reduces motor heating and insulation fatigue |
| Brushless operation | No wear parts → less downtime |
| High efficiency | Reduces cost per cubic meter of airflow |
| Strong magnetic rotor | Stable rpm and airflow in long tunnels |
| Compatible with variable frequency | Intelligent speed control for weather changes |
Livestock houses operate in high-dust and high-humidity environments.
A brushless permanent magnet motor eliminates sparking and reduces failure risk.
Le grand berger 57″ Permanent Magnet Fan is engineered with:
Fan blade shape, number of blades, and angle determine airflow and rpm response.
Optimized cone design reduces back pressure, improving cubic meter output per watt.
Because the motor generates less heat, air circulation remains stable even during hot-weather maximum load.
On large farms, dozens of fans run 24/7 for 365 days.
Switching from standard induction fans to permanent magnet fans can cut electricity usage 20–40% — and even more when paired with:
Permanent magnet fans are the primary air-moving engine of poultry ventilation.
Coussins de refroidissement
Air inlets
Curtain systems
Evaporative cooling
Environmental controllers
Tunnel vent layouts
Smart control systems adjust rpm, open ridge inlets, trigger curtain drop, or start tunnel mode — all based on temperature, humidity, NH₃ and CO₂ sensors.
Modern farms demand this responsive automation to protect flock performance.
Choosing fan size depends on:
House size
Bird type (broiler, layer, breeder)
Climate zone
Ventilation pattern
Static pressure target
57″ PM fan → Tunnel ventilation, broilers & layers
50″ PM fan → Negative pressure houses
Cone fans + roof fans → Breeders & mixed climates
We design and supply complete ventilation solutions, not a single fan.

Unlike suppliers who sell a fan and disappear,
we engineer reliable systems and stay until the barn delivers performance.
How long does a permanent magnet fan last?
PM fans run cooler and have fewer moving parts, giving them a longer service life than belt-drive induction versions.
Are permanent magnet fans good for hot climates?
Yes — strong torque and consistent airflow make them ideal for heat-prone regions.
Do I need a controller for speed control?
Permanent magnet motors work best with variable frequency or smart controllers, but can run single speed.
Can permanent magnet fans replace my old belt-drive fans?
Yes — most farms retrofit by upgrading tunnel or chimney fans one zone at a time.
Are PM fans expensive?
The upfront price is slightly higher, but energy savings and reduced downtime pay back quickly.
