Whether you’re managing a single zone or an entire network of fans, SonicAire’s control panels are built to give you complete command over your dust control strategy. From daily scheduling to emergency shutoffs and fire alarm integration, each panel is engineered to match your facility’s specific needs.

Standard Features Across All Panels:

  • External Process Interconnect (EPIC) Loop for synchronization with plant equipment
  • Programmable daily and cycle timers
  • Group control functionality
  • Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button
  • Fire alarm integration with bypass mode
  • Intuitive user interface

Choose Your Control Solution:

Every facility presents unique challenges, but all effective dust control solutions share three critical engineering requirements:

Fixed-Speed Control

Why It’s Great:

  • Designed for facilities needing straightforward, reliable control:
  • Manual start/stop functionality via integrated keypad
  • Supports up to 10HP fan systems
  • Compact, cost-effective solution
  • Simple installation and operation

Variable-Speed Control

All variable-speed panels include output filter protection against over-voltage and harmonics.

Command15 Panel

Why it’s great:

  • 50A maximum capacity (up to 15HP total fan load)
  • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) with adjustable fan speed (30–60 Hz)
  • LCD interface
  • Ideal for facilities requiring speed adjustment and scheduling flexibility

Command20 Panel

Why it’s great:

  • 50A maximum capacity (up to 20HP total fan load)
  • Enhanced programming capabilities
  • 6 high-speed and 2 low-speed programmable daily timers
  • Perfect for complex, multi-zone installations

Power Distribution

Why It’s Great:

  • Steps down larger AWG power wire for appropriate fan distribution
  • Eight manual motor starters with circuit protection
  • LED fault status indicators
  • Individual fan lockout capability
  • Maintain system operation during single-fan maintenance

Industry-Specific Solutions

Every facility presents unique challenges, but all effective dust control solutions share three critical engineering requirements:

Selecting the Right Fan

We test your specific dust characteristics if sent a sample, facility environment, and operational needs to determine the optimal fan configuration. This includes evaluating:

  • Dust particle size, moisture level, weight, and behavior
  • Ambient temperature requirements and humidity levels
  • Space constraints and clearances
  • Operational conditions
  • Environmental factors

Strategic Fan Placement

Proper spacing and positioning are crucial for system effectiveness. Our engineers consider:

  • Facility layout and dimensions
  • Airflow patterns and thermal currents
  • Equipment locations and obstructions
  • Production requirements
  • Coverage overlap requirements

Mounting Solution Design

The proper mounting configuration ensures both effectiveness and safety. We specify:

  • Structural requirements
  • Vibration considerations
  • Access for maintenance
  • Clearance requirements
  • Integration with existing systems

How We Create Your Engineered Layout

Our approach ensures your dust control solution is perfectly tailored to your facility’s specific needs.
STEP 1

Gather

Your sales representative collects detailed information about your facility layout, dust type characteristics, potential obstructions, and operational requirements.

STEP 2

Analyze

For unfamiliar dust types, SonicAire conducts testing in its own facility to determine the most effective control solution. This data then feeds into their proprietary Engineered Solution, setting them apart in the industry.
STEP 3

Design

Your engineered layout provides a comprehensive visual overview of the complete solution, including recommended equipment specifications, proposed fan locations, and detailed mounting instructions.
STEP 4

Document

Comprehensive documentation featuring plan views with precise mounting locations, fan legend with model specifications, equipment details and requirements, and installation guidelines.

Real Results from Real Clients

Custom Solutions for Complex Challenges

As a manufacturer that produces 90% of its semi-custom boats in-house, Viking Yachts faces diverse dust challenges from both wood and fiberglass operations. SonicAire’s engineered solution accommodates multiple dust types and varying facility designs within a single, comprehensive system.

“We’ve worked closely with the engineers at SonicAire to develop customized layouts for industrial dust control fans at Viking Yachts. Their staff is knowledgeable and dedicated to meeting our needs. Each target area of our facility has unique characteristics, and SonicAire has addressed the differences in operations and building designs. Using their fans helps keep the housekeeping on the ground where it is easier, cheaper, and ultimately safer to clean than high surfaces.” — Jeff Staub, Environmental Compliance Manager, Viking Yachts

Flexible Implementation for Your Needs

When KATERRA needed a dust control solution, SonicAire’s engineers created a comprehensive design that could be implemented in phases. Starting with just two fans, the team collaborated closely with KATERRA to develop an adaptable plan that effectively managed their dust while respecting budget constraints. As the facility’s needs evolved, SonicAire continued fine-tuning the system for maximum efficiency.

“It wasn’t a typical sales interaction where you’re handed a fan and never hear from the company again. From the beginning, SonicAire genuinely wanted to understand our facility, what we do, what we struggle with, and what their fans would need to accommodate.” — Cory Frashefski, KATERRA

Making Your Selection

We’ll help you determine whether fixed or variable-speed control is best suited for your operation, based on your fan layout, compliance requirements, production schedule, and system size.

No guesswork—just a cleaner, safer, and more efficient facility.
