The Air Systems International 8-Inch Axial Canister Fan Family delivers an all-in-one, highly portable ventilation solution designed to clear confined workspaces rapidly. Headlined by the standard CVF-15ACAN (115V AC), this contractor-grade family includes the specialized DCAN (12V DC) series. By combining a rugged 8-inch blower directly with a snap-on polyethylene canister housing flexible ducting, these systems ensure your ventilation hoses stay organized, protected, and ready for immediate deployment on any job site.
Understanding the Family: AC vs. DC Options
Choose the power configuration that best matches your field environment:
Standard AC Power - Powered by a 1/3 HP electric motor operating on standard 115 VAC, 60 Hz shore or generator power. It features an integrated GFCI plug for added operator safety in damp environments.
Battery Powered - Engineered for remote sites lacking immediate AC power access. Driven by a 1/4 HP, 12 VDC motor drawing 19 Amps, these units hook up directly to vehicle or external batteries using heavy-duty alligator battery clips. The 15DCAN includes 15 feet of ducting, while the 25DCAN expands your reach with 25 feet of ducting.
Key Features & Benefits
• High-Velocity Air Exchange: The AC models push an impressive 974 CFM of free air (786 CFM through a 15-foot duct with one 90° bend). The DC variants punch well above their weight class, delivering dependable velocity to rapidly exhaust stale air or supply fresh air to deep work zones.
• Integrated Storage Protection: The heavy-duty polyethylene canister securely locks straight onto the fan casing. This eliminates loose hoses, protects the inner flexible ducting from snags and punctures during transit, and reduces your job site footprint.
• Virtually Indestructible Housing: Both the blower body and the matching duct canisters are manufactured using high-impact, safety-orange polyethylene plastic. This housing won't dent, rust, or corrode, and is fully certified by CSA for continuous outdoor use in "rain or shine" conditions.
• Plug-and-Play Portability: Weighing approximately 32 lbs fully packed (fan, canister, and ducting combined), the lightweight setup and ergonomic molded handle make it effortless for a single utility worker or contractor to carry
