The agriculture industry requires a dry, safe, and clean environment to keep down the spread of disease particularly during livestock holding and transport. Using clean, dry heat provided by a MAC Heater is an effective, safe, and economical method of achieving this.
MAC, Inc. Agriculture Solutions
Close quarter confinements found in transportation and holding pens can produce a hot, moist environment, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and disease to develop and transmit from one animal to another. By first sterilizing holding areas and trailers, and then applying heated, forced air, livestock are able to enter a dry, clean, sterilized environment where no lingering bacteria or disease has had an opportunity to populate.Past efforts to sterilize trailers have included chemicals and steam cleaning. Chemical use on or around animals that will be food sources is closely regulated, and many livestock farmers are moving to high-margin, organically raised animals, which precludes the use of non-organic chemical cleaning agents. Our heaters use a fume free, safe, and clean air stream to help aid in the sterilization process of holding pens, enclosures, and transport pots.
Another challenge the agriculture industry encounters is trying to keep equipment operable and animals warm, healthy, comfortable and dry, especially during inclement weather. MAC Heaters are perfect for barns, shed rows, or any structure or enclosure equipment and animals are kept. The solution is clean, dry heat from the MAC Heaters line of agricultural heaters.
The agriculture industry also uses MAC Heaters as backup or emergency heat for various operations. When the power goes out, the need is even greater to keep equipment and animals warm and keep processes up and running. A MAC Heater is more effective than relying on passive insulation. The heaters can also be used to warm up equipment prior to use. This makes the cold weather start up process much easier and less stressful on the equipment itself, helping it stand the test of time. MAC Heaters are also incredibly easy to use with push button and temperature controls for your agricultural operation.
