Fancom offers a comprehensive range of accurate sensors that continuously monitor the thermal comfort of the animals. This enables more precise control of the house climate. The climate computer uses these measurements to accurately adapt the climate to suit the needs of the animals. The result is healthier growth, a reduced incidence of disease and lower mortality. Sensors are available to measure the temperature, relative humidity, underpressure, light, CO2 and ammonia.
Fancom’s latest energy efficient fan is the largest in our I-fan Xtra fan series and it can be safely labelled a ‘super fan’. The large I-fan145 Xtra is a direct driven fan. It excels in all the traits essential for fans in livestock housing, a virtually indestructible fan with exceptionally high performances and minimum energy consumption. Add to that its outstanding controllability and comprehensive safety features and you have simply the best fan currently available. The I-fan145Xtra has been specially designed for use in livestock housing. The IP66 classification ensures it can withstand the aggressive substances present in the air in these buildings.
The suspended animal weighing platform can be used in combination with F47 and 747 animal weighing computers to automatically weigh broilers and rearers. The light design can be accessed easily by the birds from all sides. Thanks to the special construction with just one suspension point, the platform hardly moves when the birds step on or off. This attracts the birds so that the high number of weighing moments guarantees reliable measurements. The platform has a weighing capacity of 100 kg. A special platform with a weighing capacity of up to 150 kg is available to weigh turkeys.
Fancom offers a unique Fantura air inlet system distinguished by the special shape of the inlet that bundles the incoming air for a better throw. Fantura ensures a constant and uniform supply of fresh air into the house in all conditions. Cold air no longer drops onto your animals and the litter stays nice and dry which eliminates foot problems. The sliding inlet has been specially designed for houses with nesting boxes, cages or other obstacles that can disrupt the air flow. To avoid obstacles in the house, the direction of the incoming air can be controlled using four louvres that can be independently set in a certain position.

Cold air no longer drops onto your animals and the litter stays nice and dry which eliminates foot problems. Your animals remain in the best of health and perform better. The tunnel inlet was specially designed for houses with tunnel ventilation. It features a unique way of opening that gradually increases the ventilation flow in the house so your animals can benefit from the cooling effect without any disruptions.
For efficient cooling in pig and poultry houses, Fancom offers Greenline Pad Cooling. This system uses cooling units that cool the incoming air using water that flows through a synthetic pad installed in front of the air inlet. A major benefit of this cooling method is its capability to cool air to 15 degrees Celsius coupled with extremely low energy consumption. The system has an extremely long service life and is very easy to install.
Fancom egg counters are fully sealed and resistant to the aggressive conditions in a layer house, even when the houses are being sprayed clean. The counters use infrared technology to count the eggs without touching them. This prevents damage and soiling. Small counters are available for mounting on the egg belts and larger counters for mounting on the collection belt.
Fancom’s 746 egg counting system doesn’t just provide a reliable count of egg production, it also gives you insight into how production is progressing at any given moment. Production differences per row caused by malfunctions or disease show up immediately. An egg counting system can also help you identify sub-adequate ventilation or poor feed and water consumption, which would otherwise have a negative impact on egg production, at an early stage. The 746 regulates the speed of the egg belts so the supply on the collection belt is automatically and precisely geared to the packing capacity at all times.
The Lumina 40 is a control computer for a silo weighing system where a silo is weighed using load cells or compression load cells. The feed is transported directly from the silo to the hoppers in the house, so large amounts of feed can be distributed in a short space of time. The Lumina 40 controls the entire feeding process from silo to feeder. All Lumina controllers feature a convenient Infinia Remote App that connects you to your houses via your smartphone 24/7, no matter where you are.
The 747 is a reliable weighing system for all types of poultry. Continuously weighing your animals provides an up-to-date overview of the growth process in your house and insight into animal activity. Abnormalities are visible more quickly, so you can intervene in time to improve your results. In addition, you can accurately predict the end weights to avoid sanctions from the abattoir. The 747 can be linked to your PC.
The Lumina 38 is the most comprehensive poultry computer and offers more extended control functionality combined with easy operation. The Lumina 38 features a number of unique controls that create the optimal climate for all the animals in the house under all conditions. Extreme weather conditions and sharply fluctuating day and night temperatures have no influence on the house climate. The Lumina 38 automatically takes the humidity in the house and the outside conditions into account and compensates for seasonal influences. All Lumina climate controllers feature a convenient Infinia Remote App that connects you to your houses via your smartphone 24/7, no matter where you are.
In a silo weighing feeding system the silo is continuously weighed by compression load cells mounted under the legs of the silo in a handy console. The compression load cells are highly accurate. Influences of temperature differences are compensated for while software compensates for wind influences on the silo. That means the weight registered by the system is absolutely reliable. The robust console is made of corrosion-resistant electro-galvanised steel and features an integrated lift function, so no jack is required when mounting and disassembling the load cell.
Fancom supplies a series of fans that combine extreme energy efficiency with exceptionally high air outputs and very low noise production. The fans have been specially designed for use in livestock housing. The IP66 classification ensures they can withstand the aggressive substances present in the air in these buildings. All our fans offer outstanding control accuracy and are virtually indestructible. Circulation fans are often used to mix the indoor air and create uniform climate conditions These circulation fans can also increase air movement at animal level to create drier litter. Our circulation fans are supplied in a robust, dimensionally stable synthetic module and are available in diameters of 50 and 56 cm.
