The Roof Ventilator Cyclone 500mm is a powerful wind-driven ventilation system designed to remove hot air, smoke, and stale air from buildings without using electricity. It is widely used across Kenya and Uganda in industrial and agricultural buildings because it is efficient, maintenance-free, and cost-effective.
At Industrial Materials, we supply high-quality 500mm Roof Ventilator Cyclones suitable for large roof spaces and high-volume air extraction.
What is a Roof Ventilator Cyclone 500mm?
A Roof Ventilator Cyclone 500mm is a wind-powered rotating ventilator installed on rooftops. As wind blows, the turbine spins and pulls hot air, smoke, moisture, and fumes out of the building.
The 500mm size is ideal for:
Large warehouses
Factories and workshops
Poultry and dairy farms
Go-downs and storage facilities
Schools and halls
Commercial buildings
How the Cyclone Roof Ventilator Works
The system works using natural wind power and air pressure difference:
a.Wind hits the turbine fins.
b.The turbine rotates continuously.
c.Hot air rises naturally inside the building.
d.The spinning ventilator sucks out the hot air and stale air.
e.Fresh air enters through windows and openings.
No wiring. No electricity. No running cost.
Benefits of Using Roof Ventilator Cyclone 500mm
A. Removes Excess Heat
Industrial buildings trap a lot of heat. This ventilator reduces indoor temperature naturally.
B. Removes Smoke and Fumes
Perfect for welding workshops, factories, and kitchens.
C. Controls Moisture and Humidity
Prevents rusting of machines and damage to stored goods.
D. Improves Worker Comfort
Cooler air improves productivity.
E. Saves Electricity
Reduces need for fans and air conditioning.
F. Works 24/7 Without Power
Operates day and night as long as there is wind or air movement.
G. No Maintenance Required
Made from aluminum or stainless steel for long life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does the roof ventilator work when there is no wind?
Yes. Even with little wind, hot air rising creates airflow that rotates the turbine.
2. Does it allow rain to enter?
No. The design prevents rainwater from entering.
3. Does it make noise?
No. It rotates smoothly and silently.
4. Can birds enter through it?
No. It is fully enclosed.
5. How long does it last?
More than 10 years with zero maintenance.
6. Is it better than electric exhaust fans?
Yes. No electricity cost, no breakdown, and works continuously.
7. Can it be installed on an existing roof?
Yes. No need to change roofing.
8.Is 500mm better than smaller sizes?
Yes. It extracts a larger volume of air, ideal for big buildings.
