- 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
- Command Panel
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
- Command Connect Distribution Panel
Why It’s Great:
- Steps down larger AWG power wire for appropriate fan distribution

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

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.
