SBM Radiant, Ceramic, Gas-fired (LPG) Brooders are able to direct heat effectively. Infrared rays produce heat within the objects they meet, not by warming the air around them, concentrating heat where it is needed and propogate naturally in the chosen direction without losing energy during transmission.
- Radiant heaters bring optimum comfort with energy consumption, which is considerably lower than any other form of heating
- Infrared heating is almost instantaneous, therefore the comfort level is reached very rapidly
- Suitable for 600 chicks
- Silent operation and creates no draughts or dust movement
- Manual Ignition
- The honeycomb pattern and outlets of each individual plaque keep combustion inside the ceramic material, increasing the surface temperature as well as the infrared heat emission
- The casing and reflector assemblies provide robust construction allowing for a long operating life
- Supplied complete with inlet air filter and suspension bracket
- Heaters are AGA Approved (#GMK10653) for operation on LPG at a pressure range between 5.0 and 15 kPa so that all models can be operated at high or low rate to suit the temperature conditions required

Keep in mind there is no substitute for observation. If chicks are noisy anytime, something is wrong. If they form a wedge shape there is a draft somewhere on the pointy end of the wedge. The chicks will tell you if they are unhappy.
