Sun -North manufacturing giant ceiling fans in 20th year
Susan Hu-ndertmark
Giant ceiling fans, with blades ranging from
eight to 24 feet in length, are the latest product
to be manufactured by Seaforth's Sun -North and
Enviro-North.
The Altra Air fans,
used mostly by dairy barns
and large industrial
buildings, began pro-
duction in Seaforth
during the past year,
Sun -North's 20th year
of operation.
"We'd seen them
(the fans) around a lot
of different places and
they fit into our philos-
ophy of natural venti-
lation. They're a very
energy-efficient way of
moving air," says gen-
eral manager Philip
Ashwin.
Ashwin says dairy
farmers love the giant
fans to cool their barns
in the sumiher since
hot, still summer days
affect the cows' milk
production.
Mechanic
opens shop
in Seaforth
After working as a
licenced Class A
-mechanic for several
years in the Lucknow
area, Steve Fritzley has
decided to open up shop
in Seaforth, where he's
lived for the past 10
y ars.
I've got enough work
to eep myself busy. I
think there's enough
ro m ' forone more
hanic in Seaforth,"

be, will work on all
makes and models for
both repairs and safety
checks.
Fritzley has also
taken many specialty
courses including cours-
es on air conditioning
and a truck and coach
technician program,
which he is still attend-
ing in Guelph.
"I've worked on
diesels with
International,
Caterpillar and
Cummins engines. Big
or small, I'll do it," he
says.
As well, he's worked
for GM dealers for over
10 years and Ford deal-
ers for four years.
Open Monday to
Friday from 8 a.m. to
' 5:30 p.m. and on
Saturdays from 8 a.m.
until noon, Fritzley is a
one-man operation.
"The odd time you
may see my helpers
here - my wife and two
boys, aged five and
three," he says.
And, while he opened
a few weeks ago,
Fritzley says business is
good.
"The day before I
opened, people were
coming to the door," he
says.
"The cooling effect of just a few degrees can
help keep production up for the cattle," says
Ashwin.
The fans also work in the winter to redistrib-
ute warm air from the ceilings of large industrial
buildings, reducing heating costs.
"The fans have great potential," says Sun -
North owner Dan Lambert.
While the main buyers so far have been located
in Ontario, Ashwin says the product has poten-
tial across North America arid eastern Europe.
"We're really moving our products into eastern
Europe in places like Finland, Estonia and
Russia during the past five years because they
have similar climates and they're really picking
up on North American ideas," he says.
Sun -North also produces natural ventilation
systems and related accessories for the agricul-
tural industry, including sliding panels for barn
walls, insulated curtains, thermal windows, tun-
nel vents, sun vents and poly -insulated chim-
neys.
Naturally ventilated buildings depend upon
the natural forces of wind and temperature dif-
ference (chimney effect) to move air, blowing
wind through openings in the wall or roof.

pany is now manufacturing.
