Banvil changed the Gold Line?

[Jean Lemieux]

I noticed that on the recent Banvil catalogs, the Gold Line looks competently different even though on the EnviroFan website it still looks like what were used to.

Banvil 2012 online brochure:

EnviroFan:

Of course it's very possible that the EnviroFan website did not changed their pictures yet and sometimes it takes quiet a while for companies to update their catalog pictures. Often they always keep the same old pictures of an older version even though they changed it quiet a while ago. It's like with the Canarm High Performace. It's really not an Indian made fan anymore. Since at least 2003 apparently.

This is what the Canarm High Performance looks like now:

I sincerely hope they keep the old design!

I prefer the old gold line,


The canarm high performance looks decent to me, and moves more air than the gold line!!

That's because it's 60". Compare it to the Platinum Line, Agrifan, or 60" Gold Line.

I as well. They are/were? really the last industrial fans that looked a lot like they did in the 70s and 80s. To change that now would be a shame.

I posted the largest one without paying attention. The pictures does not change. My main point was just to show what it looks like physically. They also have it in 56'' / 140cm:

So it seems that it a lot more like a regular Canarm CP56 but with a Banvil lower canopy with the rubber seal for wet environments and plain straight blades. The motor and upper canopy really looks like the one of a classic CP56.

Banvil states that the Gold Line now has a steel motor housing. Envirofan still lists the cast housing. So unless Envirofan's spec sheets are out of date, they still have the old Gold lines.

I'm sure you do.

However, this thing is noticeably superior to the Leading Edge version it replaced, in both RPM and air movement.

so do i

[Jean Lemieux]

Intresting. You just spotted that fan recently?

It's Dayton, has a red line around the motor and the upper canopy of a Banvil Platinum Line but other than that it's just like the new Gold Line.

But just think if they'd kept the old Gold Line, and started selling them as Daytons. We'd see them EVERYWHERE

[Cole S.]

Banvil is supplying Dayton now, correct?

I believe so.
