Smarter Ventilation Starts Here.
When you need fans that work harder—and smarter—the EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive 57” fan delivers.
Powered by an exclusive LG® variable-speed motor, the direct-drive technology offers the energy savings and reliability that today's operations demand.
Direct Drive, Direct Benefits
With flock health riding on ventilation consistency and your operation’s success dependent on cost efficiency, direct-drive fans outperform in every way.
Belt-Driven Fans | Direct Drive Fans |
---|---|
Higher maintenance requirements. Belts and pulleys generate friction and wear, increasing the need for servicing and replacement. | Cleaner performance. Streamlined motor eliminates unnecessary parts, reducing vibration and maintenance. |
More noise. Noise and vibration due to a system of belts and pulleys can cause a stress response in flocks resulting in lower production or growth rates. | Quieter environment. Reduced mechanical noise positively impacts bird health and performance. |
Limited control. Typically runs at fixed speeds with basic on/off settings; can’t adapt to changing house conditions. | Detailed control options. Adjust automatically based on temperature, pressure, or ventilation zones—delivering consistent airflow and better energy use. |
Shorter lifespan. Multiple moving parts increase wear and the risk of failure, leading to more downtime and earlier replacements. | Built to last. Simpler design reduces stress on components, extending system life and lowering long-term costs. |

Direct-Drive Design Provides Superior Energy Efficiency
With precise control over fan speed, you can match ventilation to your flock’s needs—minimizing energy waste, reducing run time, and lowering overall operating costs.

Precise Temperature Control Keeps Birds Healthy
Precise temperature control is critical to maintaining bird comfort, minimizing stress, and supporting optimal growth and development. Consistently regulated temperatures help promote uniformity, enhance feed conversion, and reduce the risk of disease across the flock.

FAQs
No. EnduraMax™ motors are engineered for high-heat, variable-speed environments. They undergo rigorous thermal testing far beyond typical poultry house conditions.
Yes. Although upfront costs are higher, the EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive fan pays off quickly through lower power bills, less maintenance, and improved bird health equates to higher productivity.
Absolutely. No belts to replace. No pulleys to align. No bearings to grease. Just clean the fan periodically for optimal performance.
Yes. The EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive fan is designed for standard 57" openings and leaves room for optional insulation panels if needed.
Yes. EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive fans work with most on/off controllers. But to unlock full variable-speed performance and energy savings, pair with Chore-Time's CATALYST® Control system.
EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive fans are designed for quick retrofit into standard 57" openings. Installation time is minimal—most teams can swap out old units with little to no structural changes.
Most in-house maintenance teams can handle installation, but certified Chore-Time dealers are available for professional installation and optimal setup.
No. The EnduraMax™ Direct-Drive fan is a direct replacement for belt-driven fans. Integrating with CATALYST® Control is recommended but not required to fully utilize variable-speed functionality.
Regular dust and debris cleaning helps maintain peak airflow. Other than that, there are no belts to tension, pulleys to realign, or bearings to grease.
Yes. Many integrators recognize the energy and maintenance advantages of direct drive systems and support upgrades like EnduraMax™ fans for better flock performance.

Durable, long glass fiber composite shroud and HYFLO® Shutter Doors contain 35% fiberglass for strength. Designed to eliminate the typical 12-15% efficiency loss in other shutter designs. The back HDPE cone aids in light control.

With no belts, pulleys or bearings, the direct-drive motor eliminates many common maintenance needs. The LG® BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motor is engineered for high efficiency, durability, and precise control.

The slim, compact design takes up less space than a traditional fan. The streamlined profile allows for additional insulation panels around the fan opening, improving efficiency during colder months. (NOTE: inside grill has been removed for photography only.)
