Ventra™

The Ventra family of products provides environmental monitoring and control for hog, poultry and other types of operations. Ventra controllers can be set up to meet the unique needs of hog or poultry operations by simply selecting either "Hog" or "Poultry" in the software menu. Modern environmental controllers provide a consistent climate for your animals resulting in better feed efficiency, better growth and lower mortality.

This is achieved through careful monitoring of temperature, air speed, humidity, static pressure, feed use and water use. All of these "inputs" are used to determine when to turn fans on and off, when to open and close the air inlets, when to turn on tunnel ventilation and much more. Using the controller’s keypad, you simply input operating parameters for your devices, desired building temperature (which can be adjusted automatically over time), and conditional decisions such as at what humidity level should fogging/misting be disabled. Rest assured, if something goes wrong the Ventra activates an alarm output relay which can be used to notify you of critical errors in water, feed, power, temperature, air pressure, RH and data communication.

GainTRAC™ Select Series

VAL-CO’s GainTRAC™ Select Series Whole House Controllers provide you with the ability to monitor and control conditions. These controllers offer round-the-clock monitoring of in-house conditions and automatically coordinates the operation of all equipment (not just your evaporative cooling system) to maintain the best possible environment. Sensors measure the temperature, airspeed and humidity and combine them in a copyrighted formula to allow the grower better control over actual house conditions. High humidity cutoff helps prevent heat-humidity stress by controlling evaporative cooling based on the heat index (relative humidity plus temperature). No other control can better manage power or naturally ventilate buildings.
