Benefits
Quick and easy
Quick and easy rebate on purchase and installation
Energy savings
- Use 74% less energy than with infrared lamps with no intelligent control
- Less power required to keep the piglets warm, thanks to the infrared sensors, which measure the body temperature of each piglet and send this information to the intelligent control that regulates lamp intensity
Superior efficiency
- Lower rate of piglet mortality due to crushing
- Protection against drafts coming up through grating
Precise temperature control
Greater comfort and warmth adjusted to the age and weight of each piglet, thanks to infrared sensors
