Truly good ventilation systems don’t just happen. Sophisticated microprocessor based controls that are at the heart of each AP system must be chosen carefully and set to achieve maximum results. Cooling and heating systems need to be properly sized and located to get the most from your investment in an environmental system. These are all reasons to purchase an AP system that is totally engineered and guaranteed to perform as specified.

Our team of experienced professionals will work with your plans to produce an engineered system that comes complete with recommended placements, settings and wiring suggestions.

To be a player in today’s international marketplace the modern pork producer needs a competitive edge. The efficiency of the modern facility depends on many issues of which the efficiency and longevity of ventilation fans are a substantial part. When the design team at AP was given the challenge of developing a new fan line, three points were paramount. Performance, efficiency, and longevity all needed to be maintained while keeping the price as competitive as possible.

You will find the Performer Series ventilation fans have met and exceeded the goals set forth in this challenge. The progressive pork producer is the winner, with tremendous air output, extremely low power consumption and a warranty far beyond the competition’s. This package, combined with a very competitive price and AP's reputation for service puts you in a much better position to compete in the world marketplace.

TC4 & TC5 SERIES VENTILATION CONTROLS
Airstream TC4 & TC5 Series ventilation controls are sophisticated yet simple to program and operate. You probably have never imagined that this many features could be available at such a reasonable price. These controls are designed and manufactured for specific applications such as natural, tunnel or power/natural ventilation. Your AP dealer can assist you in selecting the perfect control to meet your requirements.

MINI EXPERT CONTROLLERS
The "Mini" Expert line of controls offers many of the features of the Expert series of controls at a price comparable to the TC5 Series. "Mini" Experts are ideal for farrowing and nursery rooms requiring precise control of environment.

Added Features Include
• Button style user interface
• Seamless ventilation steps between variable speed stages
• Internal air inlet output using potentiometer feed back
• Outside temperature compensation for alarm settings
• Records and displays heater run time for six days
• Input for water meter to record six days usage
