Positive Pressure ventilation – decrease risk of airborne disease (Marek, Flu, etc.)

Due to very high disease pressure in most production areas in Iran, even when hygiene and other factors are taken care of, airborne diseases such as the flu or marek can still spread via the ventilation system. To decrease this, we have developed a positive pressure system (FAPP) to be utilized in broiler, breeder and layer production, for rearing or for the production period.

APT 1500 was developed specifically for use in combination with the Big Dutchman and Hamex wall inlets of the CL series. Its air capacity of approx. 1500 m3/h corresponds to the capacity of the inlets. An energy-saving fan, adjustable from 0 to 10 V, is used. The system can easily be retrofitted for existing wall

inlets. APT 1500 consists of the following main parts:

1. Fan
2. Pre-filter – filters particles with a diameter of 3 μm and any remaining PRRS viruses adhering to them
3. Main filter – filters fine particles up to a diameter of 0.3 μm and any remaining PRRS viruses adhering to them

Special filter unit prevents the introduction of the PRRS virus

APT 1500 – the filter for decentralised distribution of the fresh air

The filter unit consists of a combination of two separate filter inserts. The pre-filter cleans the fresh air by filtering particles with a diameter of up to 3.0 μm (MERV* 8). The main filter prevents fine particles with a diameter of up to 0.3 μm (MERV 16) from entering the house. All filters used are made of 100 percent synthetic material which repels moisture permanently and has a very low air resistance.
