The company has manufactured high quality, versatile and economical high velocity ventilation systems for the poultry industry since its founding. Designed with precise engineering and quality materials, the product line requires minimum maintenance and saves farmers money. Today, American Coolair supplies ventilation products in commercial, industrial, agricultural and horticultural markets throughout the world. Background: In 1928, a father-son team in Jacksonville, Fla., founded the company, which has grown to become a leading manufacturer of ventilation products. What began as a small factory operation would, within the next few decades, flourish with the help of manufacturers representatives and salesmen. Sales and markets for American Coolair fan systems increased rapidly. Harry Graves Sr. was the third generation of the Graves family to manage American Coolair, and the catalyst who built the company to its current status. By moving the company to a building with 110,000 sq. ft. of office and manufacturing space in the 1960s, he consolidated the business and administration under one roof. Today, American Coolair manufactures in a modern 210,000 square foot facility and ships around the world. In the 1970s, American Coolairs product lines became more extensive, and the markets in which they competed broadened to include agricultural and horticultural lines. As the company continues to upgrade and replace manufacturing techniques and equipment, its customers continue to enjoy extraordinary value at the best possible price. Harry Graves Sr. secured American Coolairs future by teaching his children what he knew. Now, Harry Jr., Robert B., and Sara have become the fourth generation leaders from the Graves family, cementing the familys successful tradition.

It features the largest bearings in the industry and with American Coolairs captured bearing arrangement this allows the blade hub to serve as the driven sheave. Placing the belt load directly over the bearings gives the greatest bearing life in the industry. The NBF60 uses a 10-gauge steel welded angle-frame construction. Inlet Damper Available for all American Coolair size 48-inch and 52-inch wall fan units, the inlet damper increases efficiency and convenience. The damper consists of four vertical doors, which open automatically when the fan is energized. When the fan is not in use, the doors seal magnetically, and a foam rubber gasket on the door frame minimizes leakage. American Coolairs unique damper design allows for something that ordinary shutters and dampers dont insulation. Typically thin aluminum shutters dont provide adequate insulation from cold air. When fitted with optional insulation, the American Coolair damper provides an air barrier and a heat barrier without affecting the aerodynamic performance of the fan package. FGBCB 52 Fan Features five-year fan warranty The fiberglass FGBCB 52 fan features American Coolairs new 11.6 inch disk and a cast aluminum blade assembly. This improved design allows for more belt on the disk, which reduces the belt tension needed to drive the blade assembly. This results in less bearing load and longer motor life. The innovative drive assembly allows V-belt power to be transmitted directly through the bearings, which results in more economical operation and increased bearing life. The cast blade assembly improves performance and doesnt lose performance over time like fiberglass blades. Specially formed structural components provide for a sturdy, yet aerodynamic support package. NBCB 52 Fan with damper door cone unit Features five-year fan warranty American Coolairs improved NBCB 52 fan features a damper door cone unit, which significantly reduces maintenance time. The discharge doors are a sturdy and aerodynamic alternative to the common inlet shutter. The NBCB fan has cast aluminum blades and features American Coolairs new 11.6 inch disk increases belt life. The cast blade is ideal for humid climates, because it resists corrosion. The auto belt tensioner ensures continuous fan operation at full capacity. NEFB 52 Fan The galvanized NEFB fan, popular with international customers because it can be shipped unassembled to minimize shipping costs, offers the latest technology in farm-building ventilation. It features American Coolairs new 11.6 inch disk. Allowing for more belt on the disk, the larger disk results in less motor stress and longer fan life. The fan comes in three blade sizes 36 inch, 48 inch or 52 inch. The 52-inch blade is the newest addition to the NEF family and provides up to 10 percent more air flow than the smaller sizes.
M o r t o n V a r d e m a n & C a r l s o n I P E 2 0 1 2 7
The blade design was precisely engineered to provide better performance and efficiency. The innovative drive assembly applies power through V-belts directly to the propeller, and blade load is concentrated directly over the bearings. The NEF fans are equipped with totally enclosed resilient-based, ball bearing 1/2 H.P. or 1 H.P. motors and can be operated with or without a discharge cone and guard. Open-top Evaporative Cooling System The open-top system is easy to maintain and saves farmers time, because, in the past, they had to remove the tops to thoroughly clean the units. The system offers the latest evaporative cooling technology to counter periods of extreme temperature affecting in-house environments. It achieves its cooling effect by pulling large amounts of air through water-saturated evaporative cooling pads and is shipped with either Glacier-Cor or Kuul pads. Suited for all geographic locations, the open-top unit, used in conjunction with fans, can reduce temperatures 10 to 25 degrees and provides the greatest economic benefit to growers in areas where temperatures remain high for extended periods of time. The open-top design is available for both aluminum and PVC cooling systems. NCF Fan The NCF fan provides efficient ventilation performance for poultry houses, while offering significant savings to farmers. It is available in 36-inch, 48-inch, 52-inch and 54-inch blade sizes. In terms of cubic feet of air per minute per dollar invested, the NCF52s additional blade span provides up to 10 percent more air than the NCFA48. With a cone, the fan can provide up to 20 percent more air. The NCF52 fits in the same opening as the 48-inch fan, making it easy to upgrade. The highquality blade assembly construction assures years of quiet, trouble-free service.

Twin Blade Halving Machine The FM Halving Machine separates the front half from the saddle part. It can also be used to cut the remaining backbone piece after the FM Front Piece Cutter. The simple construction and motor blade driven design requires minimal maintenance and is easily cleaned. Cost of ownership is reduced because there is no precutter required, no belts inside carrier to be rebuilt, and no obstructed catch point below the halving blade. Easily adjustable to various product sizes in less than three minutes. SMART Cut-Up Shackle When people first see the new and innovative FM SMART Cut-Up Shackle they cannot seem to figure out what triggers the shackle to turn, but that is exactly the pointthere is no trigger! Instead, the SMART Shackle uses magnetic technology to turn when activated at a turning point. Magnetic technology is not the only reason why the shackle is named the SMART shackle; an innovative design prevents the shackle from being turned in the wrong direction when entering the cut-up modules. The built-in, self-correcting feature allows for this incredible benefit. You have to see this to believe it! General Besides poultry processing equipment, Foodmate delivers other equipment that can be used in industrial washers (crate washers, pallet washers, and container/drum washers).

Foodmates OPTI Leg Processor Improves Yield, Skin Coverage and Reduces Bone Content
OUD-BEIJERLAND, THE NETHERLANDS (Jan. 24, 2012) After evaluating and listening to the industry, Foodmate designed a new Leg Processor which addresses common problems found with current automatic leg processing machines. The new Foodmate OPTI Leg Processor is designed to improve yield and oyster retention, create better skin coverage while minimizing bone content. Furthermore the machine can handle a big weight range with no mechanical adjustments. The machine can be operated on 8-inch and 12-inch centers cut up lines with speeds up to 140 saddles per minute. The all new Foodmate leg processor has been designed to provide the best possible yields, handle high capacity and a wide weight variety, as well as be easy to maintain and adjust. In addition, the machine has one significant difference and advantage over other leg processors. The position of the saddle stays in the same direction and doesn't need to flip-over in the machine and does not have to be taken out of the shackle for processing. Because of this design the legs in the shackle do not twist and turn as they normally do which leads to better production in the thigh and drumstick separator. Also, the percentage of broken bones in the line is much lower. Additionally, the Foodmate OPTI Leg Processor integrates easily into existing cut-up systems, or can be introduced in a whole new Foodmate cut-up line. With offices in The Netherlands and U.S., Foodmate is a research-driven company with unmatched knowledge and expertise in the meat and food processing industry that translates into more efficient equipment design, implementation and service. Established in 2006, the company is comprised of industry experts with decades of proven front-line knowledge in cut-up and deboning.

Lohmann Animal Health International FC3 Platinum Helps Prevent Fowl Cholera
Vaccine fights Pasteurella multocida in chicken and turkeys
WINSLOW, Maine (Jan. 24, 2012) Lohmann Animal Health International has developed AviPro 108 FC3 Platinum to aid in the prevention of Fowl Cholera in chickens and turkeys. An infectious disease caused by Pasteurella multocida, Fowl Cholera can spread quickly through a flock and cause great losses for the grower. Lohmann Animal Health Internationals FC3 Platinum helps prevent Pasteurella multocida Type 1, 4 and 3x4. Chickens should be vaccinated between 12 and 16 weeks of age and turkeys between 20 and 24 weeks. Each should be revaccinated four to six weeks later and during molt. The two initial inoculations produce high levels of immunity during critical early period of production when acute Fowl Cholera occurs. The 0.25 ml doses are labeled for IM and SQ injection. If Fowl Cholera is diagnosed before it spreads through a flock, it is possible to stop the spread by immediately vaccinating healthy birds with FC3 Platinum.

Lohmann Animal Health Internationals AviPro Megan Vac 1 Helps Reduce Salmonella
Vaccine available in 5,000 and 10,000 dose sizes
WINSLOW, Maine. (Jan. 24, 2012) Lohmann Animal Health Internationals AviPro Megan Vac 1 aids in the reduction of Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Heidelberg in the organs of young growing chickens and as an aid in the reduction of S. enteritidis colonization of the crop and digestive tract, including the ceca. AviPro Megan Vac 1 is a modified live Salmonella Typhimurium vaccine administered to young poultry to stimulate the birds natural defense systems to prevent Salmonella colonization of internal organs and transmission of Salmonella to offspring. Vaccination takes place in the hatchery on the day of hatch and at two-weeks of age for broilers, layers and breeders. Coarse spray and drinking water vaccination are easy, well-established, cost-effective methods, and provide excellent coverage to the whole flock. Whether you raise broilers, layers or breeders, the bar is raised for improving the safety of our food supply by reducing the threat of Salmonella, Lohmann Animal Health International CEO Dave Zacek said. The ease of mixing and applying AviPro Megan Vac 1 by coarse spray and in the drinking water means less labor and man hours to vaccinate large numbers of birds. Safety studies with hatchlings show that an increased titer of AviPro Megan Vac 1 does not cause any adverse reactions. With two stable genetic modifications, the result is a vaccine that induces a strong immune response against S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis and S. Heidelberg in vaccinated birds. Based in Winslow, Maine, USA Lohmann Animal Health International is a division of its Cuxhaven, Germany-based parent company, Lohmann Animal Health. Lohmann, which has 70 years of experience in feed additives, produces animal health products at its ISO-certified production sites for the global market.
