R & D

Consumer-led insight has always been at the core of Orient Fans’ design philosophy. We have laid considerable emphasis on research and development that translates into value for the customer. Our team of engineers has been the brain behind revolutionary technology that’s taken the industry by storm.

In the mid-90s, Orient Fans, introduced PSPO - Peak Speed Performance Output, which to date remains a benchmark in the industry. This technology encompasses both motor and blade design to ensure that every fan built with it, delivers more air over a larger area at least electricity cost. In fact, Orient’s Energy Saver fans can give up to 35% saving in energy costs.

In lighting too, Orient CFLs comes with special technology of OLO (Optimum Light Output) Advantage and saves 80% energy over GLS bulb and that lasts longer.

Apart from path-breaking R&D, Orient Fans has also kept a step ahead of the industry by introducing innovations in manufacturing.

  • In 1965 Orient Fans was the first to introduce die-casting of the rotor and fan body cover in ceiling fans in India which resulted in better accuracy of machined covers and better efficiency.
  • That very year, Orient Fans introduced semi automatic coil-winding process thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the fans.
  • Dual assembly line system in fan manufacturing was first implemented by Orient Fans, which drastically cut down the fan assembly time.
  • Orient Fans was the first fan manufacturer to replace heavy cast iron body with ones made from sturdy light weight alloy.
  • Orient Fans was first to introduce electrostatic painting process in the Indian fan industry for more durable and lustrous smooth paint finish.
  • In 1988 Orient Fans again hit the headlines with introduction of automatic coil winding which not only boosted productivity but also enhanced the life of each fan.
  • In 1994 Orient Fans came with the revolutionary concept of PSPO - Peak Speed Performance Output.
  • Orient Fans was the first to implement stator winding by automatic layering stator winding machines which resulted in better efficiency of the motor and also enhanced the productivity.
