Increase Farm Profitabi…
Cooling works best with the right airflow. We also provides fans and inlets designed to enhance the cooling effect and maintain air quality inside the house.
Cooling Systems for Every Production Stage
Evaporative Cooling with CELdek
Munters CELdek® cooling pads offer a natural and highly effective way to lower temperatures inside pig barns by leveraging the evaporative cooling principle. As warm air passes through the water-saturated pads, heat is absorbed during evaporation, resulting in cooler, fresher air entering the facility.
Why choose CELdek® for swine facilities?
- High cooling efficiency: Delivers up to 80% temperature reduction depending on conditions, ensuring animal comfort even during extreme heat.
- Energy Consumption: Operates eco-friendly and cost effective.
- Durability: Made with specially treated cellulose material for long lifespan, UV resistance, and minimal risk of algae buildup.
- Low maintenance: Easy to clean and replace, reducing downtime and labor.
Cooling Fans & Ventilation Systems
Cooling fans are essential tools to enhance airflow and boost the efficiency of your cooling strategy. When paired with proper ventilation, they help distribute cool air evenly across the barn, preventing dangerous heat pockets and temperature fluctuations between zones. This ensures all animals benefit from a stable and comfortable environment, regardless of their position in the building.
Fans also support air exchange, removing hot, humid air and replacing it with fresh, cooler air, especially when used in combination with evaporative cooling systems. Proper fan placement and control are key to maximizing cooling effectiveness while minimizing energy consumption.
We revolutionized positive pressure filtered swine facilities. With nearly 80 years of agricultural ventilation experience, we developed a system that not only maximizes pig protection but also creates an optimal environment through our Munters Drive EC Motor technology and a unique design engineered by our team. By working closely with top producers, we perfected the system, delivering measurable results—producers have reported a 25% increase in pig production and a 19% reduction in pre-wean mortality. In addition, employees experience a healthier, more comfortable work environment.

FAQ
Why is heat stress dangerous for swine?
Pigs cannot sweat efficiently. When exposed to high temperatures, they reduce feed intake and growth slows, leading to economic losses and poor welfare.
How do I know which cooling system is right for my farm?
The right swine cooling system depends on your barn design, herd size, climate, and production goals. Factors like temperature extremes, humidity levels, and ventilation style all influence the best choice. Our experts at Grain ProteinTech Climate Control & Air Treatment can assess your facility and recommend a tailored solution whether that’s high-efficiency evaporative cooling, targeted ventilation fans, or a combination system to maximize animal comfort, reduce heat stress, and improve productivity.
What’s the difference between evaporative pads and fogging?
Evaporative pads cool incoming air as it passes through water-saturated panels, providing consistent, large-scale temperature reduction ideal for tunnel-ventilated barns. Fogging systems release a fine mist directly into the barn air, offering flexible, targeted cooling but with less uniform coverage. Pads are more effective for sustained, controlled cooling, while fogging is best for quick heat relief or spot cooling in swine facilities. In some cases, combining them is ideal.
