CKE 62” Industrial Ceiling Fan

Here’s a bit of an oddity, a Chinese made, Pakistani design, ultra heavy 62” industrial ceiling fan sold under the CKE brand.
It’s model CF-FC3005-Y-QJ. QJ being an abbreviation for the OEM of this fan, which is Qijun. Arguably one of the biggest Chinese ceiling fan suppliers. These fans are also sold under the O.R.L brand in Africa, model MEGA 62. I’d been curious about the performance & built quality of this fan for years, so I finally bought one to test it out. I’m rather surprised to say the least!
For one, the blades are made of thick gage steel, and each of them weigh a literal metric ton, so as the motor. Making me a bit uneasy as to whether my dining room ceiling can support all that weight or not. The blades have a bit of a Gossammer pitch design to it, and the motor itself is surprisingly fast
Performance is alright, it’s on par with 90’s National ceiling fan for what I can feel. The only things restricting it from its full potential is the rather short downrod & 3 speed control that’s super hard to turn. Ceiling fans need more & more space above the blades the larger the diameter of the fan is, that is to prevent air cavitation from hampering the fan’s performance. That’s why flushmount fans don’t move as much air as a fan on a decent length downrod, because there’s no space for air to get above the blade & pushed down. The downrod provided with this fan is about as long as the downrod you’d get with a National F-560A1, but because the blade pitch of this fan is rather steep & it spins at a high RPM, this fan has a difficult time grabbing enough air to be thrown downwards.
You can even feel the difference when you switch between speeds. Airflow increase from speed 1-2 is larger than from speed 2-3, even though this fan really picks up in speed on the transition from medium to high. You can also see it swinging a bit on high speed due to the vacuum generated above the fan, something which took me by surprise as this fan is more than twice as heavy as generic GMC style ceiling fans. As for the stiff speed control, I think the factory made it that way to reduce sparking inside the switch. This is a power hungry fan, if it’s hooked up to the controls from the aforementioned generic ceiling fan, it’ll spark & blow its way to death in less than a year after installation. I have yet to test the power draw of this fan, but I won’t be surprised if it gobbles upwards of 120 Watts on high, as my customized 50” CKE also pulls in that amount of power on high, and that’s a much smaller fan with lighter fan blades!
I would think that if given a downrod 10 inches longer, this fan can perform up to its full potential, but I don’t have a long downrod that can fit this fan, so that remains to be seen. Speaking of performance, unsurprisingly this motor is rather overdriven. It gets rather hot after a short 1 hour use on full blast, which make me question how long this fan was really built to last.

You the celilng fan😅😅😅

[@thefangalleria]

i knew that this would be a high performance fan the first time i saw it online!
it'd be nice if they decided to offer a 48" version of this model too..

[@TheFanUniverse]

I was expecting the same, but I'm absolutely surprised to see it actually spin that fast

[@matchadonut8138]

jarang banget ada ini, bisa dibilang barangnya jarang banget ada yang beli. tapi jujur, aku pribadi suka bgt sama desainnya. mirip kipas-kipas vrindavan alias india, atau arab yg punya ciri khas desain yg slim, baling-balingnya yg pitchnya dalem + bengkok ke atas, dan RPM-nya yg luar biasa kenceng (di india malah ada ceiling fan versi high speed dr setiap brand, 350 RPM kayaknya masih kurang kali ya😂). cuma yg ini menurutku pas desainnya. pitch baling-balingnya masih cukup dalem tapi ga terlalu bengkok ke atas.
sebenernya kipas ini cukup value to money kalau menurutku, bahkan kalau dibandingkan dgn Pana F-EY1511 yg build quality-nya sedikit di atasnya ini, tapi secara material jauh lebih bagus ini + RPM yg jauh lebih kenceng dr si Pana, bahkan dgn ukuran 2" lebih gede drpd si Pana, cuma kembali lagi, durability-nya masih cukup dipertanyakan.

[@TheFanUniverse]

Kalau dilihat dari covernya, memang ini kipas bagus banget. Harga sekitar Rp. 550.000 dapat unit 62" yang besinya tebel banget & angin jauh lebih kuat daripada Panasonic EY1511. Tapi setelah aku bongkar" & setelah aku dapat unit seken nya, ku agak ragu apakah kipas ini memang benar" industrial rated.
Grease bearingnya cair banget & di unit seken sudah mulai kering & berisik. Braket & baut utk pasang downrod ke dinamo sudah aus semua, kemungkinan kalau dipakai 5 tahun lagi, semalem masih di plafon besoknya udah di lantai ini. Mayoritas konsumen kipas ini itu pabrik" besar, menurutku kualitas kipas ini ga layak utk industri

Love the 4K 60 HDR quality

[@mrjumaatsamian]

It looks like a cheap 56" dc cf
And 62" bruh is soo unnecessary

[@TheFanUniverse]

What if I tell you the motor on this fan is also shared with a 6 blade 80" ceiling fan?

[@mrjumaatsamian]

@@TheFanUniverse that motor:💀

[@coolpoint4568]

Usually CKE made Chinese-styled (CMC like probably) or Japanese-styled (Matsushita) and now CKE used to ever made fan with Indian looking. 😍😍

[@TheFanUniverse]

Yep, it's definitely interesting

[@fiq_2128]

How many watt this fan consume?

[@TheFanUniverse]

It says 95 Watts on sthe specs, but I'm not sure how much power it pulls in real life

[@fantoms9851]

Nice! It's a Combination of pak fan and Indian fan

[@TheFanUniverse]

Yup!

[@tirtaVP]

Vibes cf perindapan nya kerasa bgt wkwk

[@TheFanUniverse]

Kecuali warnanya sih wkwk

[@halz_fanzxn]

Bollywood ceiling fan😅

[@TheFanUniverse]

Bollywood tapi KW cina wkwkwk

[@paoloferrata8504]

What is the rpm

[@TheFanUniverse]

I'm honestly not sure. If I have to guess, probably around 350

[@trfastplayz]

I think it's slower, my 320 rpm fan runs faster than this. Probably around 315

[@coolpoint4568]

Mirip kipas India Usha
