L.B.WHITE
Infraconic Heat Efficiency
By maximizing the conversion of gas to radiant energy, the L.B.
White Infraconic gives you more heat for your fuel dollar as well
as a broader area of heat output and more consistent
temperature at bird level. With more consistent temperatures
and a larger 'comfort zone’, the infraconic helps your birds
grow by keeping them warm, making it easier for them to find
feed and water, and keeping the litter drier.
Lightweight and easy to install, the Infraconic is also simple to
clean and maintain. And because the Infraconic hangs higher
than other brooders, it's easier to work around during
production or clean out.
L.B. White Infraconic brooders are available in 17,100 and
34,200 Btuh outputs, as well as your choice of LP or natural
gas.
