5. Pan feeding system with centralized feed level adjustment represents
a major technological innovation in modern environment controlled
houses. This helps in minimizing feed waste, labor and helps
maintain excellent hygienic conditions for the birds.
The feeding system consist of
Drive system (Taiwan Motor) capacity of 0.75 kw. The highly
efficient gear motor drive is designed for consistent operation and
uniform feed distribution.
Feed delivery tube Galvanized tube diameter is 44, 45 mm, tube
length is 305 cm. The tube has 2, 3 or 4 holes every 3m/unit.
6. Feed Pan Capacity: Approx. 50-60 birds per pan feeder,
Material: Plastic. The height is 7.8CM, contain more feeds for
adult birds and prevent feed spillage. The bottom pan can be
opened for clean-up.
Winch Use for curtain and feeding line suspension.
Feed Hopper Light, durable, fully electrifying feed line
hoppers are available in the standard 120 pound (54 kg)
capacity or larger 200 and 300 pound (91 and 135 kg)
capacities.
Steel Wire
11. Bell Shape The Drinker Bell is made of smooth, high
impact polypropylene which allows no rust, corrosion, or
bacteria build up.
Capacity : 75 Breeders/Broiler
Round Drinker is especially designed for growers. Tests
have proved that chicks are attracted to this particular
shape and color. As feed and manure does not adhere to it,
it minimizes the spread of diseases in the farm.
Capacity/bird : 60 Broilers
12. The drinking system consist of
Pressure Regulator Material: Plastic
1) Water pressure adjustable.
2) Water flush valve.
3) Capable to replace other regulators.
Support and water tube is 3.2 mm, 3M long each tube
and support tube is 2.6MM, 3M long each tube
Nipple Drinking System Capacity: Approx. 15-20
chicken per nipple drinker.
13. End Flush Kit: Drinking line can be flushing by itself,
simply open the valve on regulator, the water will flush
and come out from end flush kit, easy to maintain.
Water Pressure Indicator Tube: The tube includes a
plastic ball to indicate the water level inside the tube,
which shows the water pressure.

17. Tunnel ventilation
The system is basically consist of two major items, the
exhaust fans and cooling pads.
The exhaust fans bring the inside air to outside, to create
negative pressure so the fresh air can come into the room
from cooling pads.
When the fresh air go through the wet cooling pads, this
process reduces the air temperature, so the room
temperature can be reduced also.
18. Cone fan is mostly used in the house that requires more CFM or Air
velocity .
Motor: 1.5HP
The shutters can automatically open and close.
20. Cooling pads are made from a specially formulated
cellulose paper. The cross-fluted design makes Cooling
pads a strong self-supporting pad with high evaporative
efficiency and low resistance to air flow.
A distribution pad placed on the top of the cooling pad
ensures a uniform supply of the water to the cooling pad
and minimizes the risk of dry spots.
The pad 5-6 inch in thickness and with a height of
maximum 6-6.5 feet.
21. The cooling pad the complete system consist of:
Gutter system consists of a top distribution gutter
where water is being supplied to the distribution pad.
Water tank with a floater to keep the water at the
correct level.
Recirculation pump to provide a continuous supply
of water to the pad.
24. Air Inlets supply fresh air to the birds without
causing cold drafts over them, a process commonly
known as minimum ventilation.

25. During the first days of the life of birds, warmth is
one of the most important management parts.
The proper housing temperature right from the first
day has a decisive influence on the future
developments of the birds, and also on their growth,
health and performance.
26.
27. Control Panel can operate variable speed fans, tunnel
fans , heaters ,and foggers, by measuring temperature
and humidity, to keep the conditions as close as
possible to those which are recommended.
Temperature Sensor
Humidity Sensor
28. Generator is the combination of a diesel/petrol
engine with an electrical generator (often called an
alternator) to generate electric energy. Generating sets
are used as emergency power-supply if the grid fails.

30. Infrared Thermometer
A thermometer is a device which measures temperature. The
two important fundamental components of this device are
the sensor and indicator.
Sensor is the component which senses the temperature of a
body.
Indicator shows the value of temperature in a calibrated
scale.
Infrared thermometers measure the temperature of an object
by measuring the infrared energy emitted by that object.
31.
32. Infrared light can be focused, reflected or absorbed like visible
light.
Infrared thermometers employ a lens to focus infrared light
from an object onto a detector known as a thermopile.
The function of the thermopile is to absorb infrared radiation
and convert it to heat.
The thermopile gets hotter as it absorbs more and more infrared
energy.
The excess heat is converted into electricity, which is
transmitted to a detector which determines the temperature of
the object.
33. TDS defined as the total amount of ions, including
minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of
water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water
(mg/L), also referred to as parts per million (ppm). TDS is
directly related to the purity of water.
How a TDS Meter Works
TDS meters are, in reality, conductivity meters.
TDS meters work by applying a voltage between two or
more electrodes.
34.
35. TDS meters work by applying a voltage between two
or more electrodes.
Positively charged ions (e.g., sodium, Na+; calcium,
Ca++; magnesium, Mg++; hydrogen ion, H+; etc.) will
move toward the negatively charged electrode.
Negatively charged ions (e.g., chloride, Cl-; sulfate,
SO4--; bicarbonate, HCO3-; etc.) will move toward the
positively charged electrode.
Ions are charged and moving, they constitute an
electrical current.
36. The meter then monitors how much current is passing
between the electrodes as a gauge of how many ions
are in solution.
TDS meters will only detect mobile charged ions.
They will not detect any neutral (uncharged)
compounds.
TDS meter do not detect macroscopic particulates.
Bacteria and viruses also won’t be detected.
37.
38. Any solution is like a small battery. It can generate
voltage depending on Hydrogen ion (H+)
concentration. pH meter measure pH by measuring
the voltage or potential difference of the solution in
which it is dipped.
How does a pH meter work?
Acidic solution has more Hydrogen ion concentration
than alkaline solution.
It has greater potential to produce an electric current.
A pH meter works like a voltmeter.
39. It measures the voltage (electrical potential) produced
by the solution whose acidity we're interested in,
compares it with the voltage of a known solution, and
uses the difference in voltage (the "potential
difference") between them to deduce the difference in
pH.
40. The CO2 Meter is a very flexible and easy to use.
The meter works perfect for measuring the indoor air
quality parameters CO2, Temp and RH%.
Carbon dioxide has been acknowledged as a good
indicator that adequate “fresh“ outside air is being
supplied to the occupants for acceptable indoor air
quality.
Response Time >30 seconds

42. The air velocity meter can measure air flow, humidity,
temperature and light.
The displays the flow rate in meters per second,
kilometers per hour, miles per hour, feet per minute.
The meter relies upon a low-friction ball bearing
mounted wheel design to provide high accuracy at
high and low air velocity.
The humidity sensor measures to 95% relative
The Light measurement uses an exclusive photo diode
and color correction filter light sensor.
