A free range egg producer based in Scotland has added a third wood M400 wood chip boiler to his egg production system, doubling his heating capacity.
The system with three egg production units, each producing 180,000 eggs per day, was already utilising two HDG Compact 200 boilers and a large district heating circuit to distribute the heat and has now been further augmented with an HDG-Bavaria M400 wood chip boiler.
This extra capacity allows for some dual redundancy in the system for servicing and maintenance and extra heating capacity for a faster response time from a cold start. The boilers store the heat they produce in an 8,000-litre thermal store, the heat is drawn off as and when the units demand via the piped district heating circuit.
The combined heating system, which is fuelled by wood chips which are produced on site, can output 800kW of heat to keep the free range hens warm and comfortable on the coldest of winter days.
If you have a requirement for heating egg production barns, broiler houses, chicken production or other agricultural area, talk to us as we have many years experience in this field.
