— Beesley International is proud to announce the launch of the Reach Series High-Velocity RP24 Fan, a game-changing solution for the U.S. broiler industry that addresses both air circulation and litter moisture reduction. The fan will be on display at the International Poultry and Processing Expo in Atlanta Jan. 28-30 at Booth B21008.
Traditionally, stir fans (18”-24”) with CFM ratings below 3,000 have been employed to reduce heating costs and eliminate “hot spots” by stirring the air. However, research by Weaver and Meijerhof (1991) and Eriksson de Rezende et al. (2001) has shown that these fans, which produce air movement at floor levels below 30-50 ft/min, fail to address one critical factor: litter moisture.
The Reach Series RP24 Fan transforms this narrative by delivering more than 5,600 CFM per fan, significantly increasing floor-level airspeeds by approximately 150 ft/min. Eriksson de Rezende et al. (2001) validated this, stating that this enhanced air movement helps reduce litter moisture.
“The Reach Series RP24 delivers unparalleled benefits to the broiler industry, addressing long-standing challenges with a modern, high-performance solution,” said John Hill, General Manager at Beesley International. “By improving floor-level airspeed and reducing litter moisture, it promotes a healthier, more efficient environment for poultry, translating into better outcomes for growers.”
Key Features of the RP24 Fan include:
- Superior Performance: Designed, engineered, and assembled in the United States, the RP24 enhances broiler house conditions by efficiently reducing litter moisture and maintaining consistent airflow.
- Durable Construction: The lightweight yet robust FRP housing is corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term durability without compromising structural integrity or performance. Powder-coated blades and guards further enhance durability.
- Engineered for Efficiency: The optimized fan blade design maximizes airflow while minimizing noise levels, creating an ideal broiler environment.
- Adaptable EC Motor Technology: Equipped with a 1/3 HP 230-volt motor, the RP24 operates at 1200 RPM out of the box, with adjustable speeds to meet various airflow requirements. The IP 55-rated motor ensures dependable operation in demanding conditions.
- Plug-and-Play Convenience: The fan includes a pre-attached power cord for easy installation, enabling quick deployment in poultry houses.
- BESS Lab tested and outperformed similar available models.
