Did you know that by reducing heat stress, you improve the well-being of animals and optimize their feed conversion ratio?

Heat stress in animals can have a significant impact on their overall well-being and productivity. Along with wet bedding, ammonia levels, and poor air quality, pests can also pose a threat to animals by spreading diseases and causing irritation. Investing in HVLS fans for farms and barns is a smart move as they help dry the bedding, reduce moisture levels, disperse harmful ammonia, and ultimately enhance comfort. This, in turn, leads to increased comfort for the animals and improved feed conversion rates. With a proven track record since 1999, farm fans are essential for promoting the health of animals and ultimately boosting profitability.

Some fans will be suitable, provided they have an IP rating that is suitable to your requirements. Refer to Aireye, Yellow Jacket and Powerfoil D for our highest IP rated fans available.
