Speed Controllers & Starters

Whether you’re kitting out a workshop, a commercial kitchen, a paint booth, or any space with an extractor fan, having the right fan controller can make all the difference. Need a simple fan controller switch for day-to-day adjustments? Or maybe a robust commercial extractor fan speed controller for more industrial demands? We’ve got both.

FAQs

What is the difference between a fan starter and a speed controller?
A fan starter is designed to safely start and stop a fan motor, often used in three-phase systems. A fan speed controller, on the other hand, adjusts the running speed of the fan to control airflow.

Are these fan speed controllers suitable for extractor fans?
Yes. We stock a variety of extractor fan speed controllers suitable for different commercial environments, including kitchens, workshops, and industrial units.

Do I need a thermal protection feature?
Thermal protection is recommended for high-demand environments where the fan motor is at risk of overheating. Many of our commercial fan speed controllers include this as standard.

Can you help me choose the right controller?
Absolutely. If you're unsure which fan controller or starter is best for your application, get in touch with our team. We're happy to advise based on your system and requirements.
