High-Quality, Efficient Ventilation Systems For Manufacturing Businesses
The necessity for ventilation systems spans many industries. Whether you’re manufacturing trailers, marine vessels, RVs, or any kind of commercial vehicle, Austin Hardware’s selection of ventilation solutions has the right system for the job.
Trailer
Proper ventilation is critical for health, safety, and comfort aboard any type of trailer. Enlist natural ventilation methods, such as windows, skylights, and roof and side vents to take advantage of natural convection and airflow. Mechanical ventilation should be added when natural ventilation is not sufficient, such as through roof-mounted exhaust fans, air conditioning units, and portable fans.
Truck
Ventilation in trucks is the key to cultivating a safe and healthy environment for drivers and protecting cargo. Ventilators remove pollutants, dust, and gasses from the air and help maintain the right temperature for perishable goods. Invest in quality roof vents, HVAC systems, and natural ventilation to preserve the quality and lifespan of your trucks.
Emergency
Along with the standard benefits of proper ventilation, vents are especially essential in emergency response vehicles since they can help reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Choose a vent with non-recirculated ventilation to maximize air exchanges and protect the safety of emergency responders and patients. When possible, install separate ventilation for the driver and patient compartment for added safety.
RV
The benefits of ventilation in RVs are extensive. Vents are critical tools that aid in temperature control, moisture prevention, and odor control. These factors are vital in creating a safe and comfortable environment for people to cook, sleep, and live. To maintain proper ventilation on RVs, install louvered vents, rotary roof vents, and fan powered roof vents during manufacturing. Mechanical ventilation can be supplemented by natural ventilation, like opening windows, but cannot be replaced.
Marine
Just like land-based vehicles, marine vessels require proper ventilation to ensure the health and safety of occupants, longevity of equipment, and preservation of cargo. Ventilation is crucial to safety aboard cargo marine vessels for numerous reasons. It controls humidity and temperature to prevent spoilage of perishable goods. Good ventilation help prevent the build-up of dangerous fumes when transporting hazardous materials and expels toxic gasses like carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide from machinery spaces and fuel compartments. It can also help reduces temperature in machinery spaces, preventing overheating and equipment failure.
Food Truck
A food truck will generate extra heat, smoke, and unpleasant odors like any working kitchen, making ventilation especially important. Pay close attention to ventilation when manufacturing food trucks, ensuring the proper vents are chosen to control temperatures and expel harmful fumes. Every food truck should be outfitted with a hood system and exhaust fans, as well as roof vents, wall vents, and louvered vents to supplement these.

Commercial Van Ventilation and Why Air Conditioning Isn’t Enough
Rotary ventilators actively and efficiently extract stale air from within a vehicle, replacing it with fresh, cleaner air from outside. Air conditioning systems do not expel potentially hazardous fumes from a vehicle as quickly or effectively.
