The Gt 500 Industrial Fog Fan stands as a premier solution for a wide array of industrial and commercial needs, from precise humidification to efficient evaporative cooling and effective chemical fogging. Designed for ease of installation and robust performance, this hanging fan is engineered with UV-stabilized components, making it perfectly suited for demanding environments, whether inside greenhouses or out in the open air.
Key Features of the GT 500 Industrial Fog Fan
The GT 500 excels with its innovative centrifugal atomizer, incorporating a rear-feed blade system. This advanced design is crucial for producing a vast quantity of ultra-fine, fog-like particles that ensure rapid evaporation, maximizing efficiency and minimizing moisture accumulation. Furthermore, the inclusion of a hydrophilic front guard is a thoughtful design element that actively prevents floor dampness, directing moisture effectively.
Adjustability is at the forefront with the GT 500. The fogging output is easily controlled via a flowmeter, providing users with precise management over humidity and cooling levels. Flexibility extends to its water supply, as the unit is compatible with metering pumps or gravity feed systems, in addition to direct feed.
The Direct-Feed model of the GT 500 is delivered as a comprehensive package, equipped with a 30-foot water line, a convenient garden hose connector, a 16-foot drainage line, and your choice of flowmeter panel. Installation is streamlined thanks to the option for single U-bolt or universal mounting bolt suspension.
Here are some standout features that make the GT 500 an industry leader:
- OSHA Safety Guards: Ensuring a safe operational environment.
- High Fogging Output: Capable of up to 6 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) fogging output.
- Exceptional Evaporative Cooling: Delivers up to 46,500 Btu/h (British thermal units per hour) of cooling power.
- Pivot Fogging Head: Allows for directional fogging to target specific areas.
- Extended Power Cord: Comes with a 15-foot power cord and plug for flexible installation.
- Energy-Efficient Operation: Designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing output.
- Ready to Use: Arrives fully assembled, reducing setup time and complexity.
Flowmeter Control Panel: Precision at Your Fingertips
The GT 500 direct feed system includes a choice of flowmeter panels, which are essential for regulating water flow and fogging output. Constructed from durable stainless steel and featuring a clear polycarbonate flow rate scale, these panels provide both robustness and ease of monitoring. They are designed to operate efficiently with a water supply pressure ranging from 10 to 100 PSI.
It’s important to note that lower flow panels enhance efficiency, reducing wastewater and producing a drier fog, which is ideal for sensitive applications.

Jaybird’s Rear-Feed Blade: Innovation in Design
The exclusive rear-feed blade design in the GT 500 represents a significant advancement in fogging technology. This innovative feature enhances both the reliability and performance of the unit, setting it apart from conventional systems.
ABB Wash-Down-Duty Motor: Built for Industrial Demands
Equipped with an industrial-grade ABB wash-down-duty motor (IP 55 rated), the GT 500 is specifically designed for environments where moisture is present. This motor ensures longevity and consistent performance even in challenging conditions.
Hydrophilic Guard: Keeping Areas Dry and Safe
The front guard of the GT 500 is engineered not only to meet OSHA’s safety requirements for fan guards but also to wick away water. This dual-purpose design ensures safety while maintaining a drier operational area.
- OSHA Compliance: Meets OSHA 1/2” spacing requirement for safety.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Offers durability and resistance to corrosion.
