Infraconic Radiant Heaters 
Improve production and profitability in any swine environment with the Infraconic’s patented heat efficiency, range of heat outputs, flexible installation and proven reliability.
With the Infraconic, you get a broader, more consistent heat pattern with less fuel. Pigs stay warm so they eat more and grow faster. And you save money on your energy costs – up to 40% depending on your facility and current heating solution.
The Infraconic's patented design delivers more radiant energy to the ground than other heating solutions. This means you get a broader, more consistent heat pattern with less fuel. Your pigs stay warm, so they eat more and grow faster. And you save money because you're providing better heating with less fuel.
Larger, More Consistent Comfort Zone
By creating a broader comfort zone with even heat distribution and no dead spots, the Infraconic helps you improve your productivity and reduce time to market through:
- healthier lying patterns that minimize piling
- better rates of gain
- lower mortality
- lower feed and medical costs
Based on independent testing, the 17,100 Btu/h Infraconic 1-17 provided coverage for 170 weaner pigs within a typical 90 to 92 degree comfort zone compared to only 150 pigs covered by a competitive radiant product. What's more, the 1-17 uses 20% less fuel than the competitive model to deliver the larger coverage area.
Lower Fuel Costs
Beyond providing a healthier growing environment for your pigs, the Infraconic can save you significant money on your energy costs - up to 40% depending on your facility and current heating solution. Based on multiple studies, the 2,800 and 5,200 Btu/h Infraconics used 15% less energy than heat lamps, while the Infraconic 1-10 and 1-17 models delivered savings of 20% to 40% over other radiant and/or forced air solutions.
