    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF OUR MECHANICALLY VENTILATED BROILER HOUSE :

·        THIS RANGE OFFERS YOU A CAPACITY OF 4 500 UP TO 18 000 BIRDS IN INCREMENTS OF 1 500 BIRDS.

·        THE HOUSE IS 8.0 m WIDE WITH SLANTED SIDES ( 50 DEGREES WITH THE HORIZONTAL ) AND A LOW ROOF ( 1.9 / 2.4 m HIGH ) TO GIVE A SMALL CROSSECTIONAL AREA, SMALL OUTSIDE AREA AND SMALL INSIDE VOLUME. THIS REDUCES HEATING AND VENTILATION COSTS.

·         THIS HOUSE OFFERS YOU GOOD CONTROL OVER  YOUR GROWING ENVIRONMENT, THAT IS TEMPERATURE, VENTILATION AND LIGHTING. BECAUSE OF THESE FUNCTIONS, YOU CAN ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE DURING WINTER AND SUMMER, IN HOT OR COLD CLIMATES. IT PROMISES HIGH AND EVEN GROWTH RATE, A GOOD FEED CONVERSION RATIO AND LOW MORTALITY ALL YEAR LONG. IT ALSO MAKES YOU LESS DEPENDENT ON MANUAL LABOUR BECAUSE MOST FUNCTIONS ARE COMPUTER CONTROLLED.

·         THE COMPLETE STRUCTURE IS PRE-FABRICATED AND IS BOLTED TOGETHER ON SITE.

·         PORTAL FRAMES ARE OF I.P.E. 100 (AA) 350WA SECTIONS AND ARE WELDED ONTO 10 mm FOOTPLATES. THESE FRAMES ARE SPACED AT 4.5 m.  

·          ROOF PURLINS ARE OF 100 X 50 X 20 X2 mm LIPPED CHANNEL AND ARE SPACED  AT 1 500 mm. SIDE PURLINS ARE OF 100 X 50 X 20 X 2 mm LIPPED CHANNEL AND ARE SPACED AT 1 800 mm.

·         CROSS BRACING OF 40 X 40 X 2 mm ANGLE IRON IS FITTED BETWEEN EVERY  PORTAL FRAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE. THIS GIVES ABSOLUTE RIGIDITY AND STABILITY IN  WIND.

·        A TUBULAR FRAME DOUBLE DOOR OF 2.4 X 2.3 m IS FITTED TO ONE END OF THE HOUSE.

·         ROOF AND SIDE CLADDING ARE 0.5 mm Z275 GALVANIZED NU-RIB SHEET  WITH CRANKS ON THE EVES. 

·         ISOLATION MATERIAL FOR ROOF AND SIDES IS 50 mm EXPANDED POLISTYRENE FOAM WITH 0.5 mm THICK ABS PLASTIC LAMINATION. THIS ISOLATION IS SUPPLEMENTED BY A 100  mm DEAD AIR SPACE AND GIVES A R-VALUE (THERMAL RESISTANCE) OF 11. THIS IS SUITABLE FOR VERY COLD CLIMATES. THE ISOLATION MATERIAL IS MOUNTED FLUSH  WITH THE STEEL PORTAL FRAMES AND OFFER VERY LOW RESISTANCE TO AIR FLOW AND IS EASY TO CLEAN.

·        MINIMUM VENTILATION IS DONE BY FAN AND A ROOF RIDGE INLET WITH DEFLECTORS. IT RUNS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE HOUSE TO GIVE EXELLENT MIXING OF COLD AND  WARM AIR, VERY EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION AND PREVENT AIR STRATIFICATION.

·        TWO VENTILATION FANS OF 1 000 / 1 400 mm, DEPENDANT ON THE  LENGTH OF THE HOUSE, ARE FITTED TO ONE END OF THE HOUSE AND GIVES A  WIND SPEED OF 1.5 / 2.4 m/s THROUGH THE HOUSE. THIS REDUCES EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE BY 11 / 13 DEGREES CELCIUS AT 35 DEGREES AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND 50% RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THE MAXIMUM VENTILATION RATE IS ONE COMPLETE AIR CHANGE PER 18 / 45 SECONDS. THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM IS ONE COMPLETE AIR CHANGE PER 75 SECONDS. THIS VERY HIGH AIR EXCHANGE RATE MEANS VERY LOW CO2 AND AMMONIA LEVELS, KEEPS LITTER DRY AND MAKES FOR COMFORTABLE BIRDS IN VERY HOT WEATHER. HOWEVER, POWER CONSUMPTION REMAINS LOW.

·        FEEDERS ARE 15 kg TUBE FEEDERS AND ARE SERVED BY A MANUALLY OPERATED FEED CART RUNNING ON TRACKS DOWN THE CENTRE OF THE HOUSE. ONE LABOURER CAN SERVE A HOUSE OF 18 000 BIRD CAPACITY IN 3 TO 4 HOURS. THE CART CAN ALSO BE USED TO ASSIST IN CARTING BEDDING MATERIAL INTO THE HOUSE AND LITTER OUT OF THE HOUSE. IT CAN BE FILLED DIRECTLY FROM A SILO.

·         LIGHTING IS DONE BY ENERGY EFFICIENT ELECTRONIC LAMPS AND OFFERS 5 LUX OR 20 LUX INTENSITY AT BIRD LEVEL.

·         A  PROGRAMABLE CONTROLLER CONTROLS YOUR HEATING, MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VENTILATION,  AND LIGHTING.

·         A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, FROM THE INSIDE DISTRIBUTION BOX TO ALL APPLIANCES, ARE INCLUDED IN THE COST OF THE STRUCTURE.

·         THE HEATING SYSTEM IS A HOT WATER FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM. THIS IMPLIES CIRCULATING HOT WATER THROUGH PIPES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOOR TO HEAT ABOUT 25% OF THE TOTAL FLOOR AREA.THE SYSTEM IS THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED. THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE HEATING SYSTEM BECAUSE IT PLACES HEAT DIRECTLY  UNDER THE CHICKENS, AND THUS NO HEAT IS LOST. IT CAN BE RUN ON ELECTRICITY OR ANY  FUEL AVAILABLE TO YOU, OR ON A COMBINATION OF ELECTRICITY AND FUEL. BECAUSE OF THE HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT IS STORED IN THE FLOOR, YOU CAN SURVIVE A 24 HOUR POWER FAILURE WITHOUT A LOSS IN PRODUCTION, OR A 48 HOUR POWER FAILURE  WITHOUT  MORTALITY. THIS GIVES YOU ABSOLUTE PEACE OF MIND AND ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A BIG STAND-BY GENERATOR. THIS SYSTEM ALSO MAKES IT EASIER TO SERVE AND CLEAN THE HOUSE AND YOU NEED ONLY A SMALL STAND-BY GENERATOR  TO OPERATE THE FANS AND LIGHTS.

·         FINISHING OF THE STRUCTURE  CONSISTS OF CLEANING THE STEEL  WITH DEOXYDENE, THEN APPLYING ONE COAT OF SELF-ETCH PRIMER AND TWO COATS OF Q. D. ENAMEL  BY SPRAYGUN.

·         THE FLOOR IS CAST ON A 200 MICRON GROUNDSHEET AND  WITH REF. 100 WELDMESH IN 20 MPa CONCRETE OF 80 mm THICKNESS  WITH 15 mm MAXIMUM VARIATION AND IS FINISHED  WITH A STEEL  POWER FLOAT. THE BUYER MUST SUPPLY SAND, STONE AND CEMENT.

·         EQUIPMENT IS CHOSEN FOR QUICK AND EVEN GROWTH, AND THE FLOOR LAY-OUT MAKES FOR EASY SERVING AND CLEANING.
