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.

POULTRY INDUSTRY PRODUCTS


American Coolair has several fan products available to meet the demanding environmental and economic constraints of poultry producers. To provide the best service possible, American Coolair has included many standard features on its fans. The companys designs: Minimize radial loading by placing the drive load in the same plane as the bearings. This unique design delivers five times the life for bearings, a fans most critical component. Use larger drives to ensure longer belt life. Incorporate a circular support in the hub that increases blade assembly rigidity and decreases the possibility of vibration. Use an electrostatically applied thermosetting epoxy coating superior to liquid paint that is baked on rather than air-dried. Each fan also bears the Air Movement and Control Association International (AMCA) seal, which denotes that products have been tested and rated in conformance with AMCA test standards and rating requirements. Inlet Damper Remodel Kit Inlet Damper Remodel Kit allows for the replacement of existing shutters on any Coolair fan in the field with minimum effort. The damper consists of four vertical doors, which open automatically when the fan is in use. A nearly unobstructed path is provided for the air stream. When the fan is not running, the damper doors close and a magnetic seal ensures a tight closure. In addition, a foam rubber gasket on the door frame minimizes leakage. When it is time for fan cleaning or maintenance, the damper does not need to be removed. By opening the large damper doors, ample access to the fan is provided. Elliptical Damper Door Cone The new Elliptical Damper Door Cone units maximize airflow in poultry houses without additional construction cost. By holding the maximum width of the cone to 60 inches, the new design allows the customer to mount the fans on five-foot center distances, while the vertical diameter of the cone remains the standard 67-3/8 inches. The damper doors, located within the cone, open fully when the fan is energized to provide a virtually unobstructed path for the airflow. The 60-inch wide Elliptical Damper Door Cone is available for all American Coolair 52-inch fans, and can be used as part of new building construction, or as retrofit replacements for fan units mounted on five-foot center distances. NBF60 The new NBF60 fan offers the performance and durability needed in an agricultural building ventilator. With its 60-inch diameter die-formed steel blades, the NBF60, using a 1.5-horsepower engine, provides 18 percent more air flow than a 52-inch fan with the same horsepower and is 26 percent more energy efficient. It is available in slope wall housing, with or without a discharge cone, or as an air circulator. The NBF60 is also offered in 2-horsepower and 3-horsepower three-phase models which are even more efficient.

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 6

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.

American Coolair Offers Inlet Damper Remodel Kit


Can be retrofitted to any Coolair fan
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 24, 2012) American Coolair has developed an Inlet Damper Remodel Kit that replaces shutters with inlet damper doors. The American Coolair Inlet Damper Remodel Kit allows for the replacement of existing shutters on any Coolair fan in the field with minimum effort. We can retrofit any American Coolair fan with a new inlet damper, Sales Manager Mark Fales said. The inlet damper door makes your fan more efficient than old-fashioned shutters. In addition, keeping shutters clean is essential. The design of the inlet damper makes maintenance much easier. The doors on the inlet damper are vertical so they do not collect dust like shutters. The damper consists of four vertical doors, which open automatically when the fan is in use. A nearly unobstructed path is provided for the air stream. When the fan is not running, the damper doors close and a magnetic seal ensures a tight closure. In addition, a foam rubber gasket on the door frame minimizes leakage. When it is time for fan cleaning or maintenance, the damper does not need to be removed. By opening the large damper doors, ample access to the fan is provided. Founded in 1928, American Coolair Corporation is a manufacturer of ventilation and evaporative cooling systems for the poultry, swine, dairy, greenhouse and golf industries.

POULTRY INDUSTRY PRODUCTS


Easyclean Module The Easyclean Modules framework is made of galvanized steel and designed as a sealed structure without galvanizing holes. The new roof is a flat surface folded over the top of the tubing which provides excellent access for cleaning and removal of all debris. The Easyclean Module provides the advantages of stainless steel at a much lower cost. It is completely compatible with Easyload factory handling systems, controlled atmosphere stunning and Easyload catching systems. Hi Cube Drawers Anglia Autoflows new Hi Cube drawers are 50 percent larger than previous drawers and 30 mm taller, which allow companies to handle more birds and potentially run their lines at higher speeds because of the increase in birds ready for processing. The drawers come five high and two wide and can be loaded from the bottom, pulling an empty drawer over the top of a full drawer. The added height complies with European legislation for broiler transportation. Controlled Atmosphere Stunner The Controlled Atmosphere Stunner uses controlled, low levels of Co2 until the birds lose consciousness. This slow calm process relieves any stress on the birds. The CAS leads to improved product quality because the birds are not damaged during shackling. There is also reduced wing damage and hemorrhaging in the meat. The CAS is safe for workers and working conditions are greatly improved because handlers are not shackling live birds in dark areas and are working in a brighter, more comfortable environment. Turkey Crate The Anglia Autoflow Turkey Crate is unique from other turkey crates because it can be loaded to or unloaded from the truck by forklift. The Turkey Crate is designed to work easily with the companys gas stunning system. And like all Anglia Autoflow handling systems, the Turkey Crate is designed for easy cleaning between loads. Spent Hen Delivery Dolly & Drawer The Spent Hen Delivery Dolly & Drawer are used during collection of spent hens at the end of the layer cycle for delivery to rendering plants. The dolly and drawer are designed to make its easy for workers to move between the rows of cages to collect the spent hens.

Plasson Feeding Systems Diversified Imports Plasson Feeding System provides optimum performance from the first day to maturity offering maximum availability of feed at all times. Results in some U.S. houses show that the Plasson Feeder delivered a heavier bird with the same feed conversion. The design of the pan, without grids, allows birds to easily reach the feed even during the first days. The special design of the pan also prevents feed waste when the birds are scratching. A user-friendly system, the Plasson Feeder requires one adjustment at the starting phase to ensure continuous feed supply at the correct level. The exclusive pan-adjustment system requires no additional adjustments, making it very simple to operate. It also allows for line-height adaptation in accordance with the birds age. Ensuring a constant flow of fresh feed, the cone design prevents residue accumulation. The system is easy to handle and clean. The cone can be removed from the bottom of the feeder, allowing collection of unused feed and thorough cleaning after each flock. Constructed of high impact plastic, the rugged feeding pans are resistant to strong detergents and disinfectants. The steel parts are galvanized, which makes them resistant to corrosion and rust. Plasson Nipple Drinker Systems Plasson nipple drinker systems allow for optimum performance with flow rates ranging from 1.8 to 2.8 gallons per hour per nipple at 20" of pressure. With specific expertise for excessively hot climates, Plasson designs nipple systems to deliver an optimal water supply that assists growers in meeting market demands for heavy weight broilers of eight pounds or more. Every Plasson nipple undergoes rigorous computerized quality testing. Using a simple design with only two high quality moving parts helps ensure a leak-proof system. Plasson Chick Start The Plasson Chick Start has strong and robust construction making it a long life product. The larger crown and sleeve allows it to hold more feed while the larger slots allow more feed on the feeder boards. A floating or locking crown feature is also available. The chick start fits any type of feeder pipe and is very user friendly with no small nuts or bolts to get lost. When not in use it swings from side to side for easy storage. Plasson Super Easy Start After many tests, we have reached the optimum for turkey pullets with the Super Easy Start. It will accommodate a day old turkey and supply plenty of water as the pullets grow and will have sufficient amount of water supplied for the last week of operation in the pullet house.

Compact Cut-Up System The Foodmate (FM) Frame Cut-Up System, which requires minimum installation time, offers superior cutting accuracy at higher line speeds. It provides accurate cuts on up to 6,000 birds per hour. Frame Cut-Up systems can be used for food service and fast food cutting applications as well as retail and bulk cut-up applications. The system is versatile enough that the individual modules can be placed in different places on the cut-up line. The stainlesssteel design makes clean up easy. The FM Cut-Up Frame is a self-contained, easy to install, and flexible cut-up system. Durability and practicality are two of the main design considerations for this system. Prior to shipping, all lines are fully tested. The modular construction allows for full flexibility which means the layout of the system can be changed at any time. Cutting modules may be added and the length of the system can be changed. Minimum installation time required. OPTI Flex Cut-Up System The FM OPTI Flex Cut-Up System is a logistical cut-up solution to supply products overhead to the desired location. Differences between the Frame Cut-Up System and the OPTI Flex include a one-touch operating system, reduced number of conveyors, open and sanitary design and more importantly, flexibility. The efficiency improvements provided by these innovative cut-up systems are numerous and must be explored by anyone seeking to reduce resource consumption while increasing equipment safety and productivity. OPTI Thigh Deboner The new OPTI Thigh Deboner is developed to bring solutions to common problems found in both manual and automated thigh deboning operations. The machines unique concept and design produces high quality meat and yield with only a few trimmers and inspectors required. The innovative scraper design and tendon cutting system gives the meat a hand-cut appearance and does not shatter bones. Unlike other automated thigh deboners, the OPTI Thigh Deboner does not require a rubber disc to clean the bone, which significantly reduces operating cost and manual production interaction for quality product. The semi-automatic loader reduces loading labor by two people per shift. OPTI Leg Processor The FM OPTI Leg Processing machine is a dual function in-line back removal system. The primary function is to remove the back with the highest yield and optimal oyster retention. Furthermore, the machine is designed to minimize the opportunity for legs to become twisted in the shackle, thus reducing misfeeds in the thigh and drum cutting machine. The machine can be placed either in a new FM Cut-Up system or it can easily be integrated into your existing frame or flex cut-up system. Thigh Drumstick Cutter The FM Thigh and Drumstick Cutter is a multi-purpose machine that can be used for both retail and food service applications. It has a simple construction design that contains no rebuild points, thus reducing cost of ownership. It gives an anatomic cut and depending on the type of cut, various configurations are possible. Features include: Direct drive gearbox encoded to the line speed for consistent cutting quality; a motor without a gear box to drive the cutting blade; hand wheels in the front of the machine to allow for easily performed adjustments; and a blue positioning wheel to provide a more hygienic appearance.

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 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.
