Exhaust Fans (AFR & Thru-wall)

Revolutionize Your Legacy

Exhaust Fans for Ventilation

Removing stale, contaminated air is just as critical as introducing fresh air into a dairy facility. Effective exhaust ventilation plays a key role in controlling heat, moisture, and airborne contaminants—directly impacting cow comfort, respiratory health, and milk production.

A properly designed exhaust system works in balance with your intake strategy to:

  • Reduce heat stress and stabilize production
  • Control humidity and protect bedding quality
  • Improve air quality and herd health
  • Extend the life of your facility

VES-Artex exhaust fans are engineered to perform under real-world barn conditions—maintaining consistent airflow across varying static pressures to ensure reliable air exchange in every ventilation layout.

Flexible Configurations to Fit Your Facility

No two barns are the same. That’s why VES-Artex offers multiple housing styles and motor configurations to match your exact ventilation needs. Whether you need ventilation for dairy, swine, or poultry, we’ve got a solution for your livestock aeration.

  • “V” Housing
    Wall-mounted design optimized for high-efficiency direct drive applications
  • “FRP” Housing
    Installed through the wall for a clean, sealed finish with superior corrosion resistance

Motor Options

  • Belt Drive
    Available in 50”, 55”, and 72” models
    • Automatic belt tensioner for consistent performance
    • Adjustment bracket for easy alignment
    • Quick-change belts to reduce maintenance time and cost
  • Direct Drive
    Available in 36″, 55”, 60″ and 72” models
    • Fully enclosed motors with sealed bearings
    • Reduced maintenance and improved energy efficiency
    • Simplified operation with fewer moving parts

Compatibility:

  • “S” and “FRP” housings are available in both belt drive and direct drive
  • “V” housing is available exclusively with direct drive motors

All motors are UL Listed and CE Certified, ensuring reliable, compliant performance across applications.

Gen V Series Exhaust Fans

Advanced Performance. Simplified Installation.

The Gen V Series represents the latest evolution in VES-Artex ventilation. It is engineered to increase airflow efficiency while reducing installation and maintenance complexity.

Available in 36”, 60”, and 72” models, Gen V allows producers to dial in airflow more precisely than ever before.

The AFRV60 60” Exhaust Fan fills the critical gap between 36” and 72” models delivering mid-range airflow with maximum flexibility in system design.

Built for Performance. Engineered to Last

Every VES-Artex exhaust fan is designed with durability and long-term performance in mind.

  • Fiberglass Housing resists corrosion in high-moisture, high-ammonia environments
  • Reinforced Blades deliver consistent airflow under load
  • OSHA-Compliant Safety Guards support safe operation and maintenance
  • Extended Exhaust Cones improve airflow efficiency and direction

These fans are built to endure the daily demands of agricultural environments reducing downtime and extending equipment life.

  • Available Options

  • Exhaust fans with “S” and “V” housings are bolted directly on to a barn’s wall whereas exhaust fans with “FRP” housing are installed through the wall.

    Exhaust fans with “S” and “FRP” housings are available for both belt drive and direct drive motors. “V” housings are only available for fans with direct drive motors.

    The 55″ AFR Exhaust Fan with a 4 HP EC motor offers two blade options: 6-blade poly for high airflow and 3-blade galvanized steel for high static pressure environments.
