Fantech was founded in 1973 by Jack Pirie and Glen Harries. Originally named Air and Noise Equipment (soon changed to Air and Noise Engineering Pty. Ltd.), the men set out to provide customers with the best possible quality products, service and advice. Initially operating from the family home in Melbourne they soon established themselves in more suitable accommodation and set about evolving the business from a manufacturers' representative to introducing their own new products to the market. Early products included the Gamma and Minivent roof units, and Minitube in-line fans.
During the mid 1980's Fantech formed an alliance with Elta Fans UK to manufacture and distribute their state-of-the-art range of Adjustable Pitch Axial fans in Australia and New Zealand. Through ongoing development and innovation this range is still a market leading product today.
The new millennium saw the introduction of the Spanish made Soler and Palau range of fans into Australia and New Zealand. This high quality range of wall/ceiling and in-line mounted fans for the light commercial and residential markets soon became recognised for their performance and reliability. More recent years have seen the development and introduction of the high performance PowerLine Centrifugal in-line series, further extension of the Adjustable Pitch Axial range, and the series of JetVent Impulse fans for car park ventilation.
Today Fantech manufactures and distributes one of the most comprehensive ranges of ventilation products in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. The extensive range is featured in this sixth edition of the Fans by Fantech catalogue and includes our core series of fans, fan controllers, attenuators and ancillaries.
A significant new inclusion is the ECO Range, a group of advanced air management technologies that are designed to improve the control and efficiency of a HVAC system. The ECO Range includes state-of-the-art Rickard electronic and thermal VAV diffusers. These diffusers are designed to enhance the comfort of building occupants while reducing power consumption of the air handling system. The ECO Range also includes Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) systems that combine efficient Electronically Commutated (EC) fans and fully compatible sensors and controllers. The EC fans are available in Duct, Roof and Wall-mounted versions. Most models can be factory pre-configured to suit a range of sensors and application parameters.
