Light Baffles

The control of light ingress in mode poultry farming is very important, as it allows the farmer to achieve the exact light conditions required to assist in meeting production targets.
Light levels are of particular importance within pullet houses where correct control of light intensity and duration must be precisely controlled to make it possible for the breeder birds to reach maturity at the optimum time to stimulate egg-production.

Whilst it is important that the general structure of the building is light proof, the requirement for introduction of fresh air and the extraction of stale, dirty air remains paramount. Hydor light baffles are designed to fit to inlets, outlets and wall and roof mounted fan units to reduce the ingress of light. With correct fitting of the light baffles, light on a bright sunny day, which can reach 150-170,000 lux can be reduced to 0.1-0.15 lux, virtual total darkness.

Features and Benefits

Vanes
The black, smooth faced, dull finished vanes are constructed from high quality PVC for longevity and resistance to wear and tear, sunlight and high pressure washers. Vanes are assembled vertically to allow for natural drainage and prevention of dirt build up, with no edges or ribs to block the air flow or trap dust.

Fittings
Hydor light baffles are designed to suit all sizes of fan or inlet with easy to assemble 'snap action' interlocking method of attaching vanes for trouble free installation and ease of cleaning. Baffles are suitable for high pressure air or water methods of cleaning.

Casing
The vane assembly is built into a galvanised steel frame for strength and reliability and facilitates easy fitting to fan units either inteally or exteally.
