Chippewa Falls, Wis. — VES-Artex continues to raise the standard in ventilation fans with the expansion of its Gen V Series, introducing the new AFRV60 exhaust fan - a powerful mid-size solution build to bridge the gap between existing 36” and 72” models. 

Designed with both performance and practicality in mind, the AFRV60 gives producers and dealers a more precise way to match airflow to facility needs – without overcomplicating installation or system design. 

“With the 60”, we’re bringing the full strength of the Gen V platform into a size that fits a wide range of real-world applications,” said LeMay. “It gives our customers more flexibility to choose the right fan for the job while maintaining the performance and reliability they expect from VES-Artex.” 

AFRV60 Delivers Performance and Efficiency  
The AFRV60 introduces several key design advancements that directly benefit both installation teams and end users: 

• Octagon Cone Design: Allows tighter fan spacing on end walls – maximizing airflow per linear foot and improving overall barn efficiency. 
• Nut-less Cone Assembly: Enables one-sided installation, reducing labor time and simplifying future maintenance. 
• Fully External Hardware: Provides easy access for service and adjustments – no need to enter the fan housing, improving safety and uptime. 
• Optimized Airflow Design: A smooth cone-to-housing transition reduces turbulence and helps limit moisture intrusion, supporting consistent performance. 
• Flexible Mounting Options: Adaptable configurations allow the fan to meet a wide range of facility layouts and operational needs. 

“Product longevity is important to us. Every detail of the AFRV60 ventilation fan has been engineered to withstand the realities of agricultural environment,” LeMay said. “Wind and side load stress, snow and ice buildup, long-term UV exposure and daily operational wear and tear have all been improved. The Gen V series of fans offers a true long-term ventilation solution.” 
 
A Complete Ventilation Solution 
With the addition of the AFRV60, VES-Artex now offers a fully rounded Gen V platform – delivering the ideal combination of performance, durability, and installation flexibility.  Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or designing a new facility, the Gen V Series gives you the confidence to build a ventilation strategy that performs today – and holds up for years to come.
