Barnstormer Fan


Our Barnstomer fan has been a leader in air performance and dependability. The tapered side guard condenses the exhaust air into a tight air stream that creates a higher velocity and throws air much further than conventional basket fans. The front guard is further from the blade than most basket fans, so we can increase wire spacing and reduce air resistance up to 40%. Put the two together and you get the World’s Very Best Basket Fan. Our exceptional fan velocity allows for further distance between fans, which means fewer fans. When it comes to transferring electrical energy efficiently into air energy for cooling, air recirculation or air movement, J&D Manufacturing is the world leader.

Exclusive Open Front Guard The Barnstormer is the only fan on the market with the exclusive hinged open front feature. This feature is from a special patented design, U.S. patent No. 5,348,447, which allows for maximum air flow, lower energy usage and increased air velocity. It’s unique design helps cut cleaning and maintenance time by 75%. No tools. No down time. Dirt or dust build-up removed in minutes. Back to full energy efficient, high–output operation.
