A new solution is available for producers to deliver airflow in the barn. Hog Slat is launching its AirStorm Pro fan line, engineered to deliver consistent airflow in the demanding environments of modern swine production, the company says in a release.
This product is powered by the innovative Omni-EC direct drive motor, which combines advanced motor technology with premium components to deliver powerful airflow, exceptional reliability and precise control, Hog Slat says.
“For decades, the swine industry has depended on traditional induction motors that slow down under heat, wind resistance or fluctuating loads — often reducing airflow during critical moments,” Hog Slat says. “AirStorm Pro eliminates this compromise. Its Omni‑EC motor continuously monitors speed and thermal conditions in real time, automatically adjusting torque to maintain target RPM across a wide operating range.”
Producers can incorporate Omni‑EC technology without replacing their entire ventilation system, the company explains. Retrofit kits are available to make upgrading straightforward and cost-effective.
“Better airflow means more consistent temperatures, reduced stress and better pig performance,” says Ross Thompson, Hog Slat Ventilation director. “ECM motors give us the ability to fine‑tune ventilation like never before — delivering the optimal amount of airflow, exactly when it’s needed.”
Producers can see this new product at the South Dakota Pork Congress, Iowa Pork Congress, IPPE, Ohio Pork Congress, Minnesota Pork Congress, Missouri Pork Expo and the Michigan Pork Congress. Learn more here.
