OF AGRICULTURAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
DRESSERS are main distribu-
tors and installers of both
ZIEHL-ABEGG fans and FARMX
ventilation controls, the two
typically being installed together
in Pig, Poultry and Livestock
buildings. ZIEHL – ABEGG Fans
and FARMX ventilation systems
represent some of the best and
most cost effective in the market
place.
In agricultural operations
and greenhouses, or systems
for the storage and drying
of agricultural products, the
top priority is hygiene and
‘
the fans can be
used for almost
any agriculutral
climate control
requirements
’
sterility. In livestock farming,
controlled climate management
is the key factor for the health,
productivity and freedom from
stress of the animals. Fans and
control engineering products
from ZIEHL-ABEGG and FARMX
ensure this through their
significantly reduced levels of
noise disturbance. Thanks to
their robust and stable design,
the fans can be used for almost
any agricultural climate control
requirements.

MAJOR INSTALLATION
AT POULTRY FARM
STEVEN Dresser’s latest major
installation is at a Poultry Farm
near York. This is following the
erection of two new, state of
the art, vast Poultry Sheds 400
x 80 FT and 480 x 96FT. The
floors alone each took more
than 250 m3 of concrete deliv-
ered in 32 wagons, all laid to a
glass finish to aid the regular
cleaning process. These two
sheds will house 50,000 and
60,000 birds respectively! The
new sheds will complement
the existing 30,000 bird units
already there, which were
also fully fitted out, tested and
commissioned by Dresser’s 4
years ago.
Installation of electrical
systems for this size of shed
require a lot of planning before
work can be started. Dresser’s
are experts in the planning and
design of large installations for
Poultry and Livestock sheds, as
well as smaller units.
Installation started in
November and will complete
by the deadline 1st March. This
is quite an achievement when
you consider each building
contains 6 Miles of cabling!
Along with automated feeders,
drinkers, heating, lighting.
Everything is fully timed
and regulated to ensure the
optimum health, wellbeing and
uniform size of the birds. There
is a 250 KVA backup Generator
& associated switchgear
in-situ – supplied by Yorkshire
Generators, backing up the
4x sheds. Full LED lighting is
fitted throughout. The power
system’s running costs are
reduced by the solar PV fitted
on the site by Dresser’s 6 years
ago.
