HEOSS Pig Heater

Heat is required for two principal reasons, first of all to maximise the pigs feed conversion, but also in reducing the mortality rate amongst piglets.

Where the pigs are kept below their lower critical temperature they will convert more of their food into energy as opposed to body weight. Inevitably the heating systems on the market are as varied as the building designs for Pig Housings. With effective Heating and Control products from Hydor, the precise temperature conditions can be carefully maintained for the pigs.

With three model sizes, Hydor’s “Heoss” Pig Heater is a propane gas, hot air generator manufactured completely in stainless steel. The unit consists of a fixed section that is placed in the wall of the room (usually the wall of the corridor) and a mobile section, the actual generator, mounted on the same wall coupling, with it’s upper part in the conduit at 90°.

The fixed section of the heater consists of a key; a regulator to 37 mbar; a gas filter and a conduit at 90° that transverses the wall with an air baffle. The additional benefit is that the unit completely seals the air exit thereby preventing dust ingress. The mobile section weighs only 15kg and is fitted with a quick connection to connect the gas supply to the regulator.

Features and Benefits

• Versatility.
• Suitable for all types of farms, particularly Pig Farms.
• “HEOSS” works well with low-pressure propane gas supply.
• Where required Hydor can provide a 9kW electric model with identical dimensions.
• Horizontal or vertical mounting arrangement.
• The heat output is infinitely variable from 1.4 kW to 10 kW via a 0-10 volt control signal. Automatic OFF switching is optional.
• The unit automatically resets after a power failure, with illuminated lights indicating the operational status of the “HEOSS” unit. The ignition circuits are isolated from the main electrical circuit for safety and EMC Interference legislation.
