the installation of a ‘Soft-Air’ ventilation ceiling enables you to save on building costs. the roof structure requires less insulation, because insulation is only needed to protect against heat in the summer. in addition, the incoming air does not require any pre-heating. furthermore, it is easy to clean the ceiling and the glass wool barely gets wet due to the small grooves in the profiled plates. in a ceiling with round holes, the glass wool would easily be damaged by pressure hoses during cleaning. A ceilings can be supplied with partially closed sections designed to improve the airflow in each room. Another major benefit of the system is the ease of installation and the large free spans of the profiled plates.

the thick layer of ‘Soft-air’ glass wool performs the following functions:

• the incoming air is filtered and distributed throughout the entire ceiling;• in the event of lower outside temperatures, the air in the ventilation

ceiling is heated to 3 to 5 degrees below the room’s temperature. this precludes draughts and cold air fall;

• in addition to 80 mm, the glass wool is now available in a thickness of 100 mm as well. this increases resistance and heats the air to an even greater extent in winter;

• due to the fact that the air is absorbed throughout the entire ceiling, no heat is lost through the roof, which leads to a saving in heating costs;

• the glass membrane protects the glass wool during cleaning and prevents it from sagging. the thin glass membrane has little resistance and prevents small particles of glass wool from falling into the production room;

• due to its treatment with a silicone-based product the glass wool retains its elasticity and is protected against moisture.

combinAtion with trAnSlucent plAteShaving enough daylight in farms is becoming increasingly important. the ‘Soft-Air’ ceiling can be outfitted with translucent polycarbonate plates that allow daylight to enter via the roof.

‘Soft-Air’ ventilation ceilings are installed across the production room’s entire area at a height of 2.5 to 3.0 metres. The plastic ceiling consists of polyester profiled plates equipped with 3 mm wide grooves. The total open area of these grooves represents approximately 4% of the total surface. Glass wool with a thickness of 8 or 10 cm is placed on top of these profiled plates. The layer of glass wool is covered by a thin glass membrane at its underside that protects the glass wool during cleaning. The Soft-Air glass wool - specifically developed for these ventilation ceilings - is treated with a silicone-based product designed to maintain the glass wool’s elasticity and its dirt resistance for a long period of time.

these boards have a thickness of 25 mm and have a very good permeability for the incoming air. because of the high weight of the boards, they have a good heat storage capacity. the boards are standard supplied in the fire class b, S1, d0.

‘Soft-air’ Ventilation ceiling can alSo be Supplied with wood wool cement board with white cement:

the ’ventu-flow’ system prevents disrupting air movements from one half of the room to the other half. this reduces potential temperature variations in a room. in addition, the natural air flow in a room is stimulated as a result of which less ventilation is required in winter, while the fresh air is better used in the summer. furthermore, the pig farmer enjoys a better working climate with more fresh air due to the fact that the system is located above the inspection corridor.

combinAtion with freSh noSe pipeSto supply extra fresh air near the sows’ heads during the warm summer months, it is possible to equip the ‘Soft-Air’ ceiling with pvc pipes. these pipes are mounted above the sow’s head up to a height of approx 135 cm above ground level. these pipes are equipped with a plastic cover that makes it easy to close them. during colder periods, the air is only supplied by the Soft-Air ventilation ceiling.

the 16 mm multi-chamber polycarbonate plates used for this purpose have a high insulation value. because only 2 to 5% of the floor surface needs to be translucent, these plates do not disrupt the ventilation pattern.
