Climate control & ventilation
Improve growth with an optimum barn climate
It is important that your animals' living environment has the right temperature and relative humidity so they feel comfortable. An optimum barn climate improves the growth and health of your animals. With our advanced automation systems, we can help you achieve the right climate for your animals. A good climate really makes the difference!
The desired barn climate completely under control
Having the right measuring instruments in the barn is crucial for creating the right climate. Our systems perfectly balance ventilation, heating and cooling. This is done on the basis of temperature, relative humidity and negative pressure in your barn. When configuring the right climate, we can also take into account the age and weight of your animals. The CO2 and NH3 levels in your barn can also be measured, and the wind direction and speed are factored in.
Perfect barn climate for every possible ventilation approach
Whatever type of ventilation or outdoor climate your poultry house has, our system always ensures a perfect barn climate. Whether you use lengthwise ventilation, combi ventilation, tunnel ventilation or any combination. Any ventilation approach works fine. Our system has different settings for all types of poultry houses, which guarantees perfect air distribution in your barn.

FreeFlow® ventilation
Do you want to avoid wet litter and strong airflow at the pop holes? FreeFlow® is the ideal ventilation system for free range poultry houses. It ensures optimum air distribution in the barn, even when the pop holes are open. FreeFlow® works on the basis of positive pressure ventilation in the barn when the pop holes are open. If local environmental requirements do not allow more than one emission point, this ventilation system can also be used on the basis of equal pressure.
Energy Saving Mode
With the Energy Saving Mode, we provides an extremely efficient control software for variable speed fans. One of the major advantages is the ability to reduce the power consumption (kWh) by automatically adjusting the speed of the fans, maintaining optimal performance while minimizing energy cost. This extra module is available for all Hotraco poultry controllers independent from the type or brand of the variable speed fan.
The Energy Saving Mode is particularly interesting in climates with a high ventilation demand. The ventilation concepts in these areas often make use of a large amount of bigger fans with relatively high power consumption. This module allows to run such fans at lower speeds resulting in significant energy saving.
Benefits of good climate control
With a good climate control system in place, extreme weather conditions and sharp fluctuations in temperatures during the day and at night will have virtually no impact on your barn's climate. This ensures a pleasant living environment for your animals, better growth and health of your animals, plus a pleasant working environment.
