Polyurethane air inlets for an optimal farm environment

(A) Excellent insulation for climate control
Polyurethane has excellent insulation properties with a low thermal conductivity of 0.02 – 0.03 W/(m·K), making it an ideal material for poultry house air inlets. In hot climates, polyurethane air inlets act as a barrier to prevent excessive solar heat from entering the house. This helps maintain a stable and comfortable internal temperature, reducing reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems. In winter, polyurethane’s insulating properties retain heat generated by the birds and any heating system, ensuring the house remains warm without compromising ventilation.

(B) Durable and chemically resistant
Made from high-density polyurethane, these inlets are designed to withstand the harsh environment within a poultry house. Polyurethane air inlets resist abrasion from ammonia, organic acids in poultry manure, as well as dust and feathers, and maintain their structural integrity over time. Its 20-30 year service life significantly reduces the frequency of replacement, which is particularly beneficial for large poultry farms in countries such as the United States and Brazil, where downtime for maintenance can cause huge economic losses.

(C) Precision-engineered ventilation systems help manage air quality
Polyurethane air inlets use advanced aerodynamic design to ensure uniform and controllable air distribution. Variable-angle louvers and diffusers can precisely adjust the amount and direction of air intake to prevent drafts while maximizing the entry of fresh air. This is essential for maintaining optimal air quality in poultry houses as it helps dilute harmful gases and replenish oxygen. At a turkey farm in the Netherlands, the installation of polyurethane air inlets with integrated sensors reduced ammonia levels by 30% and the incidence of respiratory diseases in the flocks also decreased accordingly.
