Wall curtains are a solution dedicated in particular to duck and goose breeders, as well as pigs and cattle, allowing for rationalization of costs related to animal husbandry. Their use significantly reduces the costs associated with the operation of a livestock building, as well as improves the climate. The use of curtains in chicken coops allows you to open part of the side walls of the object, which allows the movement of fresh air inside the building.

Air curtains for poultry houses and barns can be opened automatically via a servo motor or manually using a manual lift. Wall curtains for poultry farms come in two options when it comes to how they are opened:

1. CURTAINS ROLLED UP
  • Curtain mounted on the upper part of the structure
  • Opening is done by winding the curtain on the roller
  • Roll with a rolled curtain rises upwards
  • The tarpaulin is stiff at all times and evenly tensioned along the entire length of the curtain
  • More resistant in bad weather conditions
2. CURTAINS LOWERED DOWNWARDS
  • Suspension and adjustment on the block system,
  • Opening from top to bottom,
  • The tarpaulin when lowering hangs at the bottom,
  • Curtain along the entire length controlled from one place by means of a manual or electric elevator,
  • Curtain ends secured with sheet metal covers

Each curtain can be equipped with a protective net against birds, which will stop wild birds from contacting animals in the livestock hall. The nets are made of extremely durable polyethylene with a small mesh of 15 or 25 mm.

The most important advantages include:

HIGH SAVINGS IN ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

Air curtains are an excellent, cheaper alternative to traditional ventilation based on air intakes and forced ventilation. It limits the share of wall and chimney fans, which during use generate constantly increasing electricity charges, which especially increase during the summer. Air curtains also do not require expensive electrical installations and a complex control system

PROTECTION AGAINST WIND, FROST, RAIN

The use of air curtains brings many benefits, which in addition to reducing costs include, m.in, protection against wind, frost, rain and UV radiation. The materials used ensure the movement of air in the livestock building, but prevent the ingress of precipitation into its interior.

REDUCTION OF HARMFUL GASES: CARBON DIOXIDE, AMMONIA

The positive impact of curtains on the air quality inside the livestock building should also be mentioned. Curtains contribute to air exchange by reducing the amount of harmful gases, i.e. ammonia or carbon dioxide, which significantly improves the living conditions of animals.

REDUCTION OF FARM LIGHTING COSTS

Air curtains also reduce the cost of energy consumption per lighting system. Their use in the building allows you to control the amount of light reaching. An additional lighting system is used to extend the day. Humidity at an optimal level. Curtains also contribute to maintaining an optimal level of humidity in the livestock building. This is an extremely important issue affecting the condition and dryness of the litter, which reduces the cost of bedding. Dry litter is not only better production results but also reduces the problem of the development of fungi and pathogenic bacteria, which translates into better bird health.
