Air treatment solutions for pig farms

In pig farming, air quality directly affects animal health, performance, and working conditions. Poor ventilation combined with high ammonia, dust, and pathogen levels can lead to respiratory diseases, lower weight gain, and increased medication use. We offer advanced air treatment solutions designed to reduce harmful emissions and optimize indoor environments, ensuring better results for pigs and people alike.

Air treatment systems tailored for pig production

We provide solutions for filtering, neutralizing, and controlling pollutants in the air inside and outside pig barns:

Air scrubbers: Reduce ammonia, odor, and dust through multi-stage filtration or chemical neutralization.
Air filtration units: Prevent the entry or spread of airborne pathogens between barns or from external sources.
Evaporative air washers: Cool and clean incoming air simultaneously, improving both air quality and barn temperature.
These systems can be adapted to farrowing rooms, gestation and nursery units, and finishing barns, and are compatible with existing or new ventilation setups.

Powerful air scrubbing for ammonia and dust control

The Lavamatic is a high-efficiency air washer designed to filter and clean exhaust air from pig buildings. It removes up to 95% of ammonia and significantly reduces dust and odors using a multistage filtration process. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, Lavamatic is perfect for intensive production environments.

Complies with strict EU environmental requirements
Easy maintenance and low operational cost
Available in multiple sizes and configurations

Biosecurity through filtered, positive pressure airflow

AirProTec is a positive pressure ventilation unit with integrated filtration. It pushes pre-filtered fresh air into the barn, reducing the infiltration of airborne diseases and insects that carry viruses like PRRS. Particularly effective for breeding farms or high-value genetic lines, it ensures high air quality and helps prevent disease outbreaks.

Filters 98% of airborne pathogens
Effective against PRRS, ASF, Mycoplasma
Supports animal welfare in hot seasons with optional evaporative cooling

Munters Reventa AirProTec

The fresh air filter system AirProTec removes up to 98% of airborne viruses and bacteria according to testing validated by the University of Leipzig.

Munters Reventa Lavamatic

Lavamatic drum washer effectively reduces dust and ammonia emissions from poultry and pig house exhaust air. For pig stables odor reduction with an additional bio stage is possible. This complete, prefabricated module is available in two sizes 50.000 and 100.000 m3/h, and helps livestock farmers to comply with environmental regulations.

FAQ

Choosing the right air treatment system can make a significant difference in the health and efficiency of your pig operation. Here we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about ammonia control and biosecurity.

High levels of ammonia can cause respiratory issues, reduce growth, and increase medication costs. Long-term exposure harms pigs and workers. Air scrubbers and good ventilation help keep levels within safe limits.

Ventilation exchanges stale air with fresh air, while air treatment filters or cleans that air to remove pollutants, pathogens, and odors. The two systems work together to create a healthy barn environment.

Yes, AirProTec can be integrated with existing ventilation setups. It works as an add-on for positive pressure zones or as a primary filtered air supply for biosecure areas.

If your farm struggles with strong odors, high ammonia emissions, or is located near residential zones or under emission regulations, an air scrubber like Lavamatic is a smart investment.
