Heating Systems

JetMaster - Heating System

Main advantages: JetMaster is available for operation with natural gas or propane as well as fuel oil. It is controlled by means of a thermostat and equipped with a flame guard. If the heater does not ignite or the flame is extinguished, the gas supply is immediately shut down so that no unburnt gas escapes. The built-in fan provides a wide throwing range and distributes the warm air ideally in the house.

Gas Brooders for a Directed Supply of Heat

Main advantages: Gas brooders are especially well-suited if it is necessary to supply birds with intensive heat for a defined amount of time and in a specific area, such as turkeys, ducks, broilers or pullets during the rearing phase.

Livestock Housing Hot-Water Convection Heaters

Main advantages: Convection heaters are becoming increasingly popular, since they significantly improve the house climate (reduced CO2 concentration in the house air). The objective is to maximise the heat output. This is achieved by a radiator with a large surface. The heating elements are either mounted directly beneath the air inlets (fin heater) to heat the incoming air, or they are suspended from the ceiling in the centre of the house (HeatMaster). The ViperTouch climate computer regulates the entire house climate, including the stepless three-way mixing group of the hot-water heaters from 0 to 100 percent. The birds thus do not have to suffer from fluctuating temperatures, an important benefit which maximises growth.

HeatMaster - Hot-Water Convection Livestock House Heater

Main advantages: HeatMaster works on a hot-water basis. Hot water is supplied by an oil-powered or gas-powered boiler. The possibility to use waste heat produced by a CHP or biogas plant is a great advantage.

Fin Heater System

The fin heater consists of an aluminium tube with epoxy powder coating through which hot water is pumped. Fins are welded to the tube like a spiral, creating a large surface of 1 m2/running metre of tube. Heat emerges from these fins and causes a strong thermal. The heat output can be as high as 600 watts/running metre. The spacing between the fins is large enough to ensure that dust does not accumulate. The tubes are fastened to the wall by means of angle brackets or suspended from the ceiling.

Infrared Heaters

Main advantages: Infrared heaters are a gas-powered heating system giving off radiant heat. This radiant heat can be compared with solar radiation as it passes through air without significant losses. This means that heat rays become active only where they hit a surface and are then converted into sensible heat. At cooler ambient temperatures, this creates a very comfortable temperature sensation for the birds.
