Air 360 Gliding Technology with Aerodynamic Blade
Premium Air 360 series fans come with gliding technology where in fan blades boast of aerodynamic design. This design is such that the wings of the fan is slightly ascended upwards which gives wider air coverage and improved air delivery. Crompton believes this way it increases the air coverage by 50%. Additionally, these premium fans come with anti-drag technology for smoother airflow, thanks to its powerful motor.

Users face a lot of inconvenience and discomfort in keeping their ceiling fans clean from uninvited dust agglomeration. Fear of corrosion looms large as the unwanted gunk keeps gathering over the fan’s wing. Frequent cleaning may cause bending of fan’s blade. To assuage these problems, modern Crompton fans from Prime series come with anti-dust technology which uses nanotechnology-based paint with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. What this implies is the moisture and oil laden dust particle won’t easily append to the blades. The company believes its anti-dust technology reduces dust accumulation by half.
