Drying
Industrial drum fan 590 mm
Draper 31850
9,000 m³/h of air. Halves drying time with a dehumidifier, or cools a workshop on its own.
A 590 mm industrial drum fan on wheels that shifts over 9,000 cubic metres of air an hour from a normal 13A socket. Point it at wet walls and floors alongside a dehumidifier and drying is dramatically faster. On its own it's the quickest way to make a hot workshop, warehouse, marquee or kitchen bearable, or to clear paint and solvent fumes.

Common questions
Do I need these if I have a dehumidifier?
For a serious leak, yes — moving air across wet surfaces lets the dehumidifier pull moisture out 2–3× faster. For general damp, a dehumidifier alone is fine.
Will it cool a room like air conditioning?
No — it moves air rather than chilling it, so it works like a very strong breeze. In a hot workshop that's often all you need; for an office or a server room you want the portable AC or spot cooler.
Is it quiet?
No. It's an industrial fan and on high it's loud. Fine for a warehouse, site or marquee; use low speed anywhere people are working close by.
