VES Ventilation & Tunnel Fans

By VES Environmental Solutions

Last reviewed: December 2025

Industrial ventilation fans and tunnel ventilation systems designed specifically for dairy barn applications.

VES (Ventilation and Environmental Solutions) manufactures industrial ventilation equipment for agricultural applications, with particular expertise in dairy barn ventilation. Products include panel fans, circulation fans, tunnel ventilation systems, and controls.

Tunnel ventilation creates a wind effect throughout the barn by pulling air through the structure with large exhaust fans at one end. This provides effective summer cooling when combined with evaporative cooling or soaker systems. Panel fans provide spot ventilation or natural ventilation assistance.

Proper fan sizing, placement, and control is essential for effective ventilation. VES works with dealers and consultants to design systems matched to barn configuration and local climate conditions.
