For the first time in the history of fan engineering, our designers came out with a 'Ribbed Blade' design - a blade with a recessed central rib. This new design cuts air resistance for noiseless and uniform air dispersal.

The design provided added structural strength to the blade, preventing distortion of the aerodynamic design during normal functioning and while cleaning in assembled condition.

A further innovation was to split the twist in the carrier with that on the blade.The combination created the double twist angle (DTA) which led to optimum design throughout the studies of incremental variations. Fans normally develop a "tunnel" corresponding to its sweep and the breeze thus generated does not reach a person outside its periphery.

The DTA blades, coupled with an increased lift angle break through the air tunnel and disperse air to every corner of the room.

Orient designers did not stop at the blades and the carrier. Through a process of backward integration they have brought many other improvements which cumulatively add up to a lot. For the core of the fan - the rotor, the stator assembly, electrical stampings - were fabricated from energy efficient electrical steel. The end result is improved torque, which in turn leads to better utilization of power and lower electricity bills. Every optimum blade loading has been matched with a selective load condition of the motor during its designing.

Further innovation in the motor created the anti fluctuation speed-voltage charateristics. This acts as a stabiliser in the fan, ensuring sustained air flow even under fluctuating voltage conditions.
