Who is Breeza Industrial

Breeza Industrial is a fan manufacturer and machine shop at 301 Highway 34 in Utica, Nebraska, that opened in 1990 as Breeza Fans USA. It builds axial flow fans, including glass reinforced polypropylene and aluminum models, and for cannabis cultivation it sells variable speed ECM circulation fans backed by a custom airflow plan for each room.

Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies Breeza fans in the grow rooms it designs. Its Las Vegas facility was designed with Breeza airflow engineer Dave Donohoe, according to a 2024 MMJDaily report. Breeza brand searches are small, so this page covers what growers actually look up: grow room fans, grow room airflow and how to place circulation fans in a commercial room.

What Breeza makes for grow rooms

The Breeza Ag Fan uses horizontal airflow (HAF) design, variable speed electronically commutated motors and stainless steel parts. Breeza says ECM motors are more energy efficient than brush motors, and the variable speed lets growers run slower air early in crop development and raise velocity as the canopy fills in.

Outside cultivation, Breeza runs a machine, fabrication and job shop in Utica and sells GRP and aluminum axial fans for industrial air movement. A 2017 Thomas Industry Update report notes the company had spent 10 years building and supplying parts to SNAP-Fan, so fabrication and fan production sit under one roof.

The fan is only half of the offer. Breeza builds a computer generated airflow plan for each room that predicts high and low pressure zones, with the stated goal of eliminating microclimates. A January 2026 Cannabis Equipment News segment reports that Breeza also builds plans for rooms that use other brands of fans, and that its fans connect to environmental control systems and cloud based remote monitoring.

Where Breeza fits by facility stage

  • New builds: the airflow plan should be drawn with the HVAC supply and return layout, since fan placement and duct throws affect each other.
  • Retrofits: rooms with wet corners, uneven canopy temperature or recurring powdery mildew are the usual candidates for a fan layout review.
  • Running facilities: variable speed fans tied to the controller let staff change air velocity by growth stage without moving equipment.

How to size and place Breeza grow room fans

Circulation fans are sized by the room, not by the fan. Start with room volume, canopy layout, bench or rack height and where the HVAC supplies and returns sit. The goal is steady air movement across and through the canopy so leaf surfaces stay near room conditions and moist air does not pool under dense plants.

Breeza delivers this as a room plan, which sets fan count and mounting positions before you buy. Bring the plan into the HVAC design so cooling, dehumidification and circulation work together. The Cannabis HVAC Design Guide covers how airflow interacts with load and moisture removal, and the grow room layout and airflow guide covers placement in multi bench rooms.

Breeza compared with other grow room fan options

Basket HAF fans with fixed speed motors

Wall or column mounted basket fans are the most common grow room circulation fan. Fixed speed units cost less up front, but air velocity can only change by switching fans on or off, and placement is often done by eye.

Variable speed ECM fans with an airflow plan

This is the Breeza approach. Speed control by growth stage and an engineered layout cost more planning time at the start. Breeza reports that some growers downsized their HVAC systems after installing its fans; treat that as a manufacturer claim and verify it in your own load calculation.

Ceiling and underbench air distribution

Large diameter ceiling fans mix air in tall rooms, and underbench ducts push air up through the canopy in benched rooms. Many facilities combine one of these with canopy level circulation fans rather than relying on a single method.

Buying Breeza fans through Urth & Fyre

Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies Breeza fans as part of a room or facility design and sources and quotes the line new from Breeza. The fan plan is drawn alongside lighting, benching and HVAC, so the airflow fits the room as built. Airflow is one part of the microbial control program covered in the microbial testing prevention protocol, and Urth & Fyre clients report 95%+ microbial pass rates.

To get a Breeza airflow plan and fan quote for your rooms, book a cannabis facility design consult and send your room drawings.

  • Ask for the airflow plan before the fan quote. Fan count and mounting positions come out of the plan, so quoting fans first usually means buying the wrong number.
  • Confirm how the fans connect to your environmental controller and if you want speed control by room or by individual fan.
  • Check supply voltage and circuit layout for the fan count in the plan, and keep fans on circuits separate from lighting where your electrician recommends it.
  • Specify mounting hardware for your structure: columns, trellis posts, rack uprights or ceiling.
  • For a used fan, run it at low, middle and full speed and listen for bearing noise or blade imbalance, and check the guard and housing for corrosion.
  • Plan the fan layout with the HVAC supply and return locations so circulation fans do not short circuit conditioned air back to the return.
  • Get a current lead time with the quote, since airflow plans are drawn per room.

    Breeza Industrial questions

    What does Breeza Industrial make?

    Breeza Industrial makes axial flow fans, including glass reinforced polypropylene and aluminum models, and variable speed ECM circulation fans for cannabis grow rooms. It also builds computer generated airflow plans for each room. The company runs a machine and fabrication shop in Utica, Nebraska, and opened in 1990 as Breeza Fans USA.

    How many fans does a grow room need?

    The number of fans depends on room volume, canopy layout, bench or rack height and where the HVAC supplies and returns sit, so there is no fixed count per square foot. An airflow plan maps pressure zones and air velocity across the canopy and sets fan count and positions from that model.

    What is an ECM fan motor?

    An ECM fan motor is an electronically commutated motor, a brushless motor whose speed is set by onboard electronics. In grow rooms this allows smooth variable speed control from the environmental controller. Breeza says its ECM motors are more energy efficient than brush motors, and slower speeds early in the crop use less energy.

    What is a grow room airflow plan?

    A grow room airflow plan is a model of how air moves through a specific room, used to place circulation fans and set their speeds. Breeza builds computer generated plans that predict high and low pressure zones with the aim of eliminating microclimates, and it offers plans for rooms that use other fan brands.

    Do circulation fans reduce mold and mildew risk?

    Circulation fans reduce one risk factor for mold and mildew by keeping moist air from settling around leaves and in dense canopy. They work alongside dehumidification, sanitation and plant spacing, not in place of them. A fan layout that leaves dead zones can still let localized humidity build up.

    Where can I buy Breeza grow room fans?

    Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies Breeza fans inside its grow room and facility designs and sources and quotes the line new. Send your room drawings and canopy layout to get an airflow plan and a fan quote that matches the rooms as built.
