For the same purpose here in Pakistan, a local soap company installed a pedestal fan on conveyor belt, with almost zero operating cost. This was just an example that sometimes a Jugaad may save you from many problems. But always keep in mind that personal safety should not be taken at risk.

Which is best jugaad in your opinion.
