Poltek Gas Brooder (1200 Birds)
Effectively warm large flocks of up to 1200 birds from Day 1 until fully feathered, and during cold spells or power outages, with the Poltek Gas Brooder (1200 Birds). Powered by LP Gas, its high-output infrared incandescent technology provides efficient warmth for small to large-scale African poultry enterprises. (Requires a Poltek High Pressure Gas Regulator – sold separately).
Key Features
- Large-Scale Capacity: Warms approx. 1200 young birds from Day 1 until fully feathered, and provides heat for larger established flocks during cold or power outages.
- High-Output Infrared Incandescent Heat: Powerful, direct radiant heat effectively warms birds and litter over a large area.
- LP Gas Powered (Power Outage Solution): Operates independently of electricity, ensuring continuous heating during power failures or load shedding.
- Variable Gas Consumption: Flexible output (approx. 36-360g/Hr) allows adjustment to conditions for different ages and needs.
- Adjustable Hanging & Heat Control: Initial hanging at 1.2m, adjustable based on bird behaviour for perfect warmth.
- Requires High Pressure Regulator: Must be operated with the Poltek High Pressure Gas Regulator (sold separately).
- Safety Valve with Automatic Gas Shut-Off: Includes a safety valve that automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished, preventing gas leaks even if the gas is still switched on.
For commercial poultry operations in Africa managing large numbers of birds, the Poltek Gas Brooder (1200 Birds) is a powerful heating solution, effective from Day 1 until poultry are fully feathered, and also for providing warmth during cold spells. Its infrared incandescent technology delivers intense yet gentle warmth directly onto birds and litter, crucial for young poultry and beneficial for older flocks. A significant advantage is its LP Gas operation, making it invaluable during electricity outages or load shedding.
Gas consumption is variable (36-360g/hr), allowing precise temperature management. Hang at ~1.2m and adjust based on observation. Important: This high-output brooder requires a Poltek High Pressure Gas Regulator (sold separately). The built-in safety valve provides peace of mind by automatically shutting off gas flow if the flame goes out, ensuring safe operation.
