Long term ventilation solution in poultry housing Poland

I choose to present solutions to my customers that will benefit them in the long term, their business success is my priority. That is why I am proud to represent Multifan in the Polish poultry market with this unique ECPlus line.

Energy savings and payback time determine the choice for Multifan ECplus

For farmers it is important that running costs and electric costs per Pig are reduced”, says farm manager Gavin Hodgson. “In addition, for the supermarket group it is important to run the farm efficient as possible as part of the carbon footprint philosophy."

We're glad this more energy efficient solution has become available as an answer to the EU legislation

Priorities were operation reliability, resistance in corrosive environment and low energy consumption. “I always evaluate the long-term investment”, Mr Batallé says. I prefer to look at the total costs after several years and not only to the initial purchase costs.”

The biggest advantage is the ideal climate for the boars

The fans are easy to use since there are no dip switches you have to set. Additionally, it is an advantage that there is no need for an external lightning protector. The feature we like most is the variable speed of the VPlus fans, so the airflow can be fine-tuned to the needs of the animals.

Expansion with the Multifan V-FloFan to save heating costs

With the Multifan V-Flofan an even temperature is obtained throughout the greenhouse. Specifically the heat of the assimilation lights is distributed downwards, which also reduces the heating costs significantly!

The experiences of the Multifan Intelligent Fan Drive: "I did not expect this level of energy saving"

Saving energy at our farm not only yields environmental benefits, but also earns us money, every day. It was a matter of course for us to participate in a trial with the Intelligent Fan Drive, because energy savings of 60% were expected.

“I would certainly buy ECplus again: it is all about increasing margins”

When using the newest state-of-the-art equipment, we stay on top of the developments and, in addition, we are able to save money, says Johann. The margins in the pork market are currently extremely low, so we are constantly looking at ways to increase these.

Energy saving is very important to us as entrepreneurs

Brandon Bell owns a 2499 head Feeder to finisher farm in Keota, Iowa, The United States. He produces pigs for Brenneman Pork. He has a natural ventilated house with Multifan 2x 54" VPlus, 2x FC36, 8x FC24 pit fans and 16x 24" stir fans.

“ECplus reduces payback time: that’s important!”

Frequency controllers to adapt the speed of the fans are applied as standard nowadays. However, local tests with the Intelligent Fan Drive already convinced me that this solution increases the energy savings significantly compared to the commonly used frequency controllers.

Basket fans prevent heat stress in cows

Farmer Dries Lahousse from Elverdinge is active in arable farming and breeds poultry, but also owns a dairy barn housing 170 cows. Amongst those are also several older animals that have already produced more than 100,000 liters of milk. In order to maintain production throughout the year for all cows, including the oldest ones, he recently invested in basket fans, for extra cooling on top of the natural ventilation.
