Agricultural Industry

Agriculture and animal-breeding are key sectors for human life, whose evolution brings social benefits on a large scale in terms of food price reduction and increasing demand of supplies. Assessing efficient and lasting industrial solutions for agricultural fans and blowers is essential for the process optimization.

Greenhouses. An interesting application of Stiavelli Irio srl agricultural fans and blowers is the creation of a perfect environment for flowers growing and plants life. It is a solution to modify temperature and humidity in tunnel greenhouses. Moreover, control equipments are needed for crops which are cultivated in greenhouses.
Centrifugal or axial fans, combined with heat exchangers or humidifiers, are used to recreate the micro-climates suitable for the various cultivations. Fans may be used to reduce condensation and temperature in summer cooling or, with the application of heat exchangers, they can help the crops in warm winters. Circulation fans are designed to move high volume of air with low pressure to equalize temperature.

Sugar and Alcohol Industry. Sugar production involves many specific processes and raw materials (sugar cane, beet sugar) to produce a ready to use white or brown granulated sugar. Another product from this process is blackstrap molasses. Industrial fans and blowers are employed for the production and packaging phases.
Sugar is the main material involved in alcohol production, please refer to Chemical Industry Application for more info.

Zootechnics, Livestock. The need for fresh air is particularly felt in cattle breeding stables, in enclosures for animals, in intensive and battery farming. Exhaust fans are the proper solution for the removal of bad smells and exhalations which are necessary to improve the quality of animals’ life, increase productivity and contribute to prevent the risk of disease and epidemics in livestocks farming. Industrial fans and blowers may be used to reduce temperature in summer cooling too.
In animal husbandry and farming, animal feed artificial drying prevent moulds as well as an increase in the nutritional value of the product.

Gas Production. Fermentation of biological waste is a process for natural gas production. This gas may be used for electric power production. Sometimes operative areas are classified and require explosion-proof fans and blowers (compliance with ATEX Directive).
