EVO II
The EVO II Evolution grain cooling fan is the UK’s most energy-efficient agricultural fan, using 50% less power than standard 1.1kw grain cooling fans. As the only grain fan with built-in differential temperature control, the Evolution fan automatically optimises grain storage conditions while dramatically reducing running costs. Powered by advanced energy efficient technology and a precision-engineered aluminium impeller, this 0.55kw pedestal ventilation fan delivers the same airflow performance as traditional 1.1kw agricultural ventilation fans at half the energy consumption.
Polycool Standard (3.5m) for storage depths of 3m – 5.5m
Polycool Maxi (5.1m) for storage depths of 5m – 9m

Why choose Evolution Grain Cooling fans?
The Evolution range represents the next generation of grain cooling fans for UK agriculture. Unlike standard agricultural ventilation fans that require separate temperature controllers, the EVO II integrates differential temperature control directly into the fan unit. This means your grain cooling system is intelligent from day one – automatically running only when ambient conditions are optimal for crop conditioning.
Frequently asked questions
The EVO II Evolution fan uses just 0.55kW compared to 1.1kW for standard grain cooling fans – that’s 50% less power consumption. This dramatic reduction in energy use translates to significant savings on running costs. Over a typical harvest season, the Evolution grain fan can save hundreds of pounds in electricity costs compared to traditional agricultural ventilation fans.
The EVO II uses advanced brushless motor technology, eliminating the carbon brushes found in traditional grain fans. This design reduces friction and heat generation, resulting in higher efficiency and longer motor life. Brushless motors require virtually no maintenance and deliver consistent performance throughout the fan’s lifespan. Combined with our precision-engineered backward-curved aluminium impeller, this technology enables the Evolution fan to match the airflow of 1.1kW agricultural fans while using only 0.55kW of power.
Despite using half the power, the Evolution EVO II grain cooling fan delivers equivalent airflow to standard 1.1kW agricultural fans thanks to its optimised impeller design and brushless motor efficiency. The backward-curved aluminium impeller creates maximum air movement with minimal energy input. This means you get the same effective grain cooling performance as traditional fans while dramatically reducing your electricity costs. The fan maintains consistent pressure even in deeper grain stores, making it suitable for storage depths from 3m to 5.5m (Standard Polycool) or 5m to 9m (Polycool Maxi).
The EVO II Evolution grain fan is the only agricultural fan with integrated differential temperature control – a feature that typically costs £500-£800 as a separate unit. The system uses temperature sensors to continuously monitor both ambient air temperature and grain temperature. When the ambient temperature drops sufficiently below the grain temperature (based on your set differential), the fan automatically starts. When conditions are no longer optimal for cooling, it stops. This intelligent automation ensures your grain cooling system runs only when it will effectively condition your crop, maximising energy efficiency and grain quality without any manual intervention.
For most grain storage applications, we recommend setting the differential temperature control to 5-7°C. This ensures the Evolution fan runs only when ambient air is sufficiently cooler than your stored grain to achieve effective cooling. Different crops and storage goals may require adjustment – contact our technical support team for specific recommendations based on your crop type, moisture content, and storage duration. The built-in controller makes it easy to optimise settings for your specific needs.
The Evolution EVO II grain fan runs completely automatically once you’ve set your desired temperature differential. Unlike standard agricultural fans that require manual on/off operation or expensive separate controllers, the Evolution fan manages itself. Simply plug it in, set your temperature differential, and the integrated control system handles everything else. The fan will start and stop automatically based on ambient conditions, providing optimal grain cooling while you focus on other farm operations. This ‘set and forget’ operation is unique to the Evolution range and eliminates the need for constant monitoring of your grain storage system.
The Evolution grain fan’s built-in differential temperature control includes strategically positioned sensors to accurately monitor both ambient and grain temperatures. The ambient sensor reads the air temperature at the fan intake, while the grain temperature is monitored through sensors positioned within your storage system. This dual-sensor approach ensures the fan runs only when conditions are optimal for effective grain cooling, maximising both energy efficiency and crop quality.
Yes, the Evolution fan’s differential temperature control includes manual override functionality. While the automatic mode handles grain cooling perfectly in normal circumstances, you can manually start the fan if needed for specific situations. This flexibility gives you complete control over your grain storage system while maintaining the convenience of automatic operation for day-to-day management.
The Evolution EVO II grain cooling fan is compatible with our full range of grain storage pedestals including Polycool Standard (3.5m), Polycool Maxi (5.1m), Metalcool, and Storecool systems. This versatility means the Evolution fan can be used in virtually any grain store configuration. Whether you’re setting up a new storage facility or upgrading existing agricultural ventilation fans, the EVO II integrates seamlessly with our pedestal systems to deliver efficient, automated grain cooling.

The Evolution grain fan requires minimal maintenance thanks to its brushless motor technology. Unlike traditional agricultural fans with carbon brushes that need periodic replacement, the brushless design of the EVO II is essentially maintenance-free. Regular maintenance is limited to basic cleaning of the impeller and housing to remove grain dust buildup – typically once or twice per season depending on usage. The robust construction and quality components ensure reliable operation season after season. This low-maintenance design reduces both downtime and ongoing costs, making the Evolution fan ideal for busy farming operations.
