LPG for Agriculture

Unlike heat from oil or electricity, the heat produced by LPG is moist – which helps create a more stress-free environment for chicks.  Maintaining the correct ambient temperature helps promote growth and even feathering.

Fast-responding LPG radiant heaters are particularly suitable for weaning accommodation, where pigs can get the warmth they need.  They can also provide background heating for dry sow and fattening houses, as well as mobile pig rearing units.

LPG is a cleaner burning fuel than many alternatives, so there is less chance of grain combustion, water ingress or fuel sediment.  It can safely power a direct-fired burner and can help reduce costs by prolonging the life of your equipment.  It can also reduce maintenance, as there is no soot build-up.

An LPG system using radiant tubes allows heat to be directed precisely at plant level, saving on heating.  For even greater savings, specific zone control can free you from having to maintain the same temperature over the entire floor area, with the added benefit of more floor area for sales.

Flaming has become a common weed and pest control technique.  Propane-fired torches produce a high temperature with a clean controllable flame – just right for the purpose, and reducing your reliance on potentially environmental damaging chemicals.
