PPV Fan Manufacturers

The short answer?  BlowHard’s “what” is engineering at its finest, but BlowHard’s “why” is you. We are a “you first” company who puts the needs, challenges, and demands of firefighters at the core of our designs.

Pre 2010, we saw firefighters in need of a better tool: a PPV fan that doesn’t require gasoline, that’s easily maneuverable with quick deployment, that doesn’t take up excessive space on the truck, and most of all that excels in performance. But unlike our current competitors who copy our designs, we did it the hard way, the right way: instead of buying off-the-shelf parts to put together a fan that blows air, we start with physics, dynamics, mathematics, air flow and fan-law to guide us on how to design.  We let these concepts lead the way through the engineering of practically every part of our fans to optimize performance. In other words, we don’t start with what already exists, we start with what you needed your tool to do!

But we didn’t stop just bringing the first battery-operated PPV fan to the industry. Because we continue to listen to your needs and feedback, we are also the first to engineer:

• High-power, integrated batteries for use with shoreline power,
• PPV fans that run on both Battery and AC power with a seamless transition,
• Brushless motors,
• Single-person deployment fans with a shoulder strap,
• Ergo-Fold-a true 180-degree angle of the shroud,
• High-Flow Expansion Jet-a new airstream to both seal the door and pressurize,
• The first smart fan with Smart-Tec giving dynamic, real-time feedback,
• Internal diagnostics on display for troubleshooting,
• Education: Momentum/Thrust, Velocity, CFM, Air Entrainment, Fan Placement, more,
• The use of magnetics to attach accessories to the grills,
• The use of magnetic keepers for power cords,
• Ergonomic grab handles.

So as you can see, even if you don’t own a BlowHard, if you have any of these features on your PPV fan, it is due to BlowHard development.  Feel confident that when you purchase a BlowHard, you are not only getting a fan that was literally engineered for firefighting and provides ultimate performance, but you are also a partner in funding innovation, development, and helping to push the industry forward!

What’s more, we are in it for the long-haul! If anything ever happens to your fan on scene, we are here to provide top-notch, personalized Customer Support to get you up and running again as soon as possible! We’ve always got your back!
